Abstract

The Sedekah Laut Jepara tradition or Lomban tradition is a tradition passed down from generation to generation which is still preserved because of its existence as a symbol of gratitude to God Almighty for the abundance of marine products provided. This tradition has the potential to become an international tourism destination in the field of cultural tourism. However, this has not been realized because it faces the problem that the Sedekah Laut Jepara tradition is not yet widely known by the international community. The diversity of the Sedekah Laut Jepara tradition also appears in other countries such as France which has a track record of superior tourism, namely the Fete de La Mer tradition in the city of Bordeaux. Fete de La Mer is a tradition passed down from generation to generation carried out by coastal communities to honor sailors and fishermen who have provided a source of life for the community through their marine products. Through historical methods, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography as well as the methodology of the tourism history approach, this article aims to compare the track record of the international tourism destination development model that has been implemented by the French Government with the subject of the Fete de La Mer traditional destination, with the international tourism development model which was carried out by the Jepara Regency Government to be used as an important finding in developing international tourism in the Sedekah Laut Jepara tradition.
