摘要

This article describes one of the tribes living in the highlands of Maluku-Indonesia that can be managed in qualitative methods. The Huaulu tribe has a system of local knowledge and a traditional way of life typical of the mountainous people. The main aspect developed for the purpose of cultural tourism lies in the tangible and intangible cultural elements they have. On the tangible cultural side, there are many unique motifs and ancient ornaments on the pillars of their houses. They also produce simple bags made from sago leaves (lopa-lopa) as handicrafts. In terms of intangible culture, their norms and values of life are in harmony with nature in the forest (human-nature relationship). They have the ability to navigate in the forest, identify animals that can be hunted for subsistence, as well as which plants can be used as herbal medicines. The Huaulu tribe is adjacent to the Manusela National Park working area, which is responsible for preventing illegal exploitation of the forest. Cultural tourism development emphasized in this article is about “modes of creative tourism”, where travellers, especially the climbers of Mount Binaiya (located in the Manusela National Park region), get to experience “something to learn and something to taste aspect” by living in the village with local people while acclimating to the climb. Hikers can stay in village and use the local services as guide and porters can help them understand efficient hiking trails (something to learn). They will get lessons for basic knowledge of local animals and plants in the forest. On the way down, they can also assemble their own lopa-lopa before returning from climbing (something to taste). This chapter aims to describe how the Manusela National Park could relates to Huaulu empowerment without conflict of interest.
