Developing Ethnic Tourism in a Diaspora Community: The Indonesian Village on Hainan Island, China

This paper explores the complex interplay between ethnic tourism and the Chinese-Indonesians, a diaspora community, on Hainan Island, China. It traces the history of the displacement from Indonesia and the resettlement in Xinglong located on the eastern Hainan. The aim is to describe to what degree and in what ways ethnic tourism is constitutive for the Chinese-Indonesian identity, authenticity and community participation. It focuses on the tensions between the Indonesian Village and the community in terms of the manipulation and the consumption of the diasporic identity. The diasporic identity, perception of authenticity and community involvement in the Village were ascertained in order to understand the concerns of ethnic presentations in the process of tourism development. The findings suggest that the mismanagement of the Indonesian Village can be attributed to short-term profit-taking and disregard of the importance of community involvement.
