| Summary: | This research aims to explore the role of Rumah Puisi Taufiq Ismail in Indonesia’s literary tourism development and how people perceive it. The main focus is to study how Taufiq Ismail’s persona is presented in his poetry house. This research collected data through direct observations, interviews, and surveys using literary tourism-related concepts, such as Cultural Capital, Place Attachment, and Sense of Place. Two central problems include the cultural capital the Rumah Puisi Taufiq Ismail offers tourists and how this destination influences public perception. The research findings highlight the house’s dual role as a hub for exploring literary values and providing socioeconomic potential, underscoring cultural capital’s significance in developing tourism. Research shows that the people were attached to the house through literacy activities, including seminars, readings, and literary writing. Additionally, the people perceived this house as a place to explore literary values and socioeconomic potential. This research emphasizes that cultural capital is vital in developing tourism in Indonesia, especially in creating a sentimental attachment to the site and people’s sense of the place. This investigation underlines opportunities for extending similar literary tourism projects across Indonesia and probing future examinations on their long-term influences on tourists and local people. |
