Abstract

Compared to the development of a variety of marine tourism attractions, the development of historical-cultural attractions in Manado seems to be overlooked and does not receive the highest priority in the context of urban tourism development. This study aims to examine various developments in historical-cultural attractions to serve as Tourism Heritage. A real example has become a tradition for the Manado Chinese descent to hold the cap go meh cultural event every year. The age of this cultural attraction has been hundreds of years since these Chinese people settled in this city. Interestingly, this attraction is watched by local people and foreign tourists. For the tourism community, there are so many historical-cultural attractions that are still preserved around the China Village area of Manado, which can be used as heritage tourism. The method used is site observation and interviews with communities around the Manado China Village area, and also literature study. The results showed that 1) three communities collectively support this area to be a heritage area, such as The Manado Chinese Village Community as a core component, the Arabic village community and, the indigenous Manado community; 2) The core area of the Manado China Village can be used as a diorama for the presence of the old city of Manado; and the 3) Communities can have new tourist alternative locations and enrich the infrastructure of tourist facilities in the city of Manado.
