Realizing life in the regime of ethical and representative art, involving the practice of art in religion, culture, and hobbies.
Placed in mass or social media, a tourism object can be considered beautiful if it can show aesthetics diversity in life daily .
In pre-historic era, a painter would tell history through his/her art representative .
, despite the regime of NeoPlasticism .

, that refused art figuration, which put forward shape and color as language free form of representation.
Artists as universal harmony agents, express work in a way anonymous and impersonal, like Mondrian's work .
Today, taking advantage of local historical character is relevant in integrating history with contemporary art to prevent lagging behind without sacrificing traditional heritage.
Other efforts, such as reconstruction, restoration, replication, and even imitation are required to maintain local and cultural characters that have started to diminish .
Hence, some typical souvenirs from a village, for example, combine contemporary element design while maintaining inheritance in its history .
Ulos fabric, which was traditionally originally processed during a prayer while making it, now are transformed into clothes, bags, ulos shirts and a mere ulos-patterned souvenirs.
Ulos ornaments are not considered as ulos, but as borrowing ulos motifs for ulos batik .
Clay crafts are now developed with more varieties in accordance with the market demand.
Local ingredients like coconut shell, bamboo, rattan and wood are used to make decoration .
Arts and crafts industries play important role in economy and maintaining cultural However, they face lack of financial and technical support that limit growth and power in similar competitive product.

This becomes an integral part of identity and economics .
Lots of art traditional inheritance has become the symbol of national pride, like temples, batik, carvings, masks, wayang, and clayworks, that are frequently seen in work scientific and other media.
Now, traditional art works that has returned to the modern era are in the form of replica with variation of new colors and has adapted with contemporary need.
Although in fact, the appearance of these new arts still features traditional nuances, yet these products rely heavily on market demand in the form of replicas or imitation .
These replicas have reduced the authenticity or looses its historical proofs that have been found .
, yet in the creative industrial era, this is needed to succeed in the competition.
The souvenirs must be unique and provide journey memories for the tourists .

, who state that tourist involve component like destination, marketing, people sourcing, and industry that must be Tour education combine learning with tourism activity, giving knowledge to visitors, especially students.
Edu-tourism delivers experience that are directly related with the of area visited during the tours .
Community of Practice (CoP) in the context of tourisms tends to be more-wide than tour education.

On the other hand, tourism education is a subset of the CoP, whereas its focus is more limited to giving experience directly to visitors, especially student, inside tour area.
