3. DEFINE THE ISSUES
-
The
main issue of this article is the pros and cons of whether the use of
traditional clothing is a cultural appropriation in the country.
"If
you have cases where people in Japan or China invite tourists to wear these
clothes, refusing because you are concerned about cultural appropriation would
be a kind of disturbing assertion of authority, to illustrate what is
acceptable in that context." said Matthew.
However,
Cheng is one of the "cultural insiders" inviting foreign tourists to
try on a qipao at her rental store in Hong Kong. While the dress is symbolic
for Cheng, she doesn't think it should be reserved for traditional use, or only
worn by those with Chinese heritage. "The qipao doesn't have such a heavy
meaning," she says.
4. RESEARCH THE KNOWLEDGE
-
Cultural
dress experiences have proven popular with both foreign and domestic tourists
around Asia.
In
South Korea, a government initiative started in 2013 gives free entry to
Seoul's five palaces to anyone wearing a hanbok, Korea's national dress worn by
both men and women. This initiative aims to preserve tradition, educate people,
and "popularize and globalize" the hanbok, says Danny Park, executive
director for the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO).
As
a result, there are now many local businesses around the palaces that offer
hanbok rental, plus accessories and hairstyling. "Most Korean people enjoy
seeing tourists wearing different styles of hanbok in Korea," Park adds.
With
mention that in Korea at this time do not mention that wearing traditional
Korean clothes is a cultural appropriation there. Due to the fact that Koreans
like it when tourists wear their traditional clothes.

This
can be done in the following steps:

introduce our culture to tourists who come through tourism
2.
Create an exhibition that introduces the culture
3.
Hold a fashion week event wearing traditional clothes to be more recognized

batik day in Indonesia
7. REVIEW YOUR PERFOMANCE
The
conclusion
•
That
preserving the culture of the ancestors is very important, culture can reflect
the characteristics of an area. The use of traditional clothes in tourist
attractions is not a cultural appropriation, in fact it can introduce our
culture to other people, especially people from other regions who come to
visit. The use of good culture can also help the economy of residents in the
area, for example by opening the rental of traditional clothes.
