Abstract

The legacy of maritime connection culture of Strait of Malacca from pre-colonial to post colonial is the heritage of Islam and Malay in North Sumatra of Indonesia. Now in globalization era, such legacy has a great role in the creative economics of global shariah tourism. This paper presents the current situation of North Sumatra Province in managing the invaluable cultural heritage in terms of global tourism. Managing the maritime connection culture to be marketable shariah tourism is a big issue that gives economic growth. This field study on the development of a global religious and cultural tourism industry based on the results of the research paper on managing hybrid Islamic & Malay heritage for shariah tourism reported the foundation for government policy and tourism industry in facing ASEAN Economic Community and globalization is still weak. Obtained data showed that various Islamic carnivals and cultural festivals as 'living tradition' in coastal towns of North Sumatra which regarded as the realization of Islamic and Malay’s social values have not been managed in an integrative system. Managing the potential of shariah-based cultural heritage tourism has the potential economic growth of North Sumatra Province and shariah system has a good chance if the government’s synergic management with entrepreneurs and social scientists (university) works in harmony.
