Abstract
Education Tourism offers a specific form of tourism and it excites some
parts of people. Tourism village is an alternative of educational tourism which is
increasingly fond of by millennial generation. One of the reason for educational
tourists to come to “Kampung Inggris” (Indonesian for English Kampong) is to
increase their own knowledge and competence. This research is aimed to understand
the development process of “Kampung Inggris Pare-Kediri” to become an English
educational tourism village. The research uses ethnography approach with
observation, in-depth interview and document analysis to obtain data. The branding
of “Kampung Inggris” has been successful in market demand growth especially from
millennial generation who are trying hard to increase their ability, competence, and
skill in English. Generally, the development of Kampung Inggris mainly focuses on
the increases of visitors (mass tourism).
Introduction
Tourism is an economic activity which is economic crisis-proof (Dewan
Perwakilan Rakyat, 2015; Firdaus, 2015; Husodo, 2016; Indopos.com, 2015; Suranti,
2016).The activities have given multiple effect to other economic sectors. World
Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) released a research result on the direct
contribution of tourism sector to the economy of a country. The following is the direct
contribution of Indonesian tourism sector to Gross domestic product (GDP) from
2007 to 2017, and the prediction up to 2027. See Figure 1.
Figure 1.
In many nations including Indonesia, inbound tourists attract more interest
than outbound tourists and domestic tourists. Data in Table 1 shows that domestic
tourists positively grows from time to time. The development of tourism destination
has become one way to boost society interest to become domestic tourists.
Government and other tourism stakeholders have put efforts to develop the existing
tourism destinations. The decision of 10 new excellent tourism objects in Indonesia is

one of these real efforts (Adiakurnia, 2017; beritasatu.com, 2015; Jpnn.com, 2015;
Purnamawati, 2016; Ruli, 2015; tempo.co, 2015).
Table 1.
One type of tourism developed and attracting many intentions in the last
decade is educational tourism. This kind of tourism has been around long time ago,
only in 2000s, Kediri, a regency in eastern Java developed this kind of brand
(branding) for a tourism destination which is now known as “Kampung Inggris”.
There are many research have been done concerning this destination. Most
of them focused on factors related to the operation of educational tourism.
(Abubakar, Shneikat, & Oday, 2014; Hayati, 2017; Petroman et al., 2016). This
research will describe the significant changes in the process of development of
English Education Tourism Village “Kampung Inggris Pare-Kediri”, hopefully will
attract domestic tourists massively.
Tourism
One’s journey/travel from a place to another place with various different
objectives can be widely categorized as tourism journey/travel. Tourism perspective
is extremely wide. To understand more on this perspective, a philosophical analysis
is needed. From the tourism philosophy point of view, tourism is related to all things
that support the movement of tourists, various society’s activities to create things that
fulfill tourists’ expectations and their positive implications for society, environment
and the sustainability of the tourism activity (Azahari, 2017).
From this tourism philosophy scope, the definitions of tourism activity
could be diverse. Goeldner and Ritchie (2012, p. 5) defines tourism as a process,
activity, and results of a relationship and interaction between tourists, tourism
suppliers, host government, host society, and surrounding environment involved in
attracting and hosting the visitors. Other definition concerning tourism includes time
limit of stay outside ordinary environment and explicitly stating other activities apart
of holiday goals (Goeldner & Ritchie, 2012).
Tourism is than grouped into inbound tourism, outbound tourism and
domestic tourism. Inbound tourism is a tourist visit from the outside border into a
destination country. This inbound tourism often becomes the main attention of a
country because of three advantages, economic advantage, social advantage, and
politic advantage. Outbound tourism can be defined as a tourism travel cross the
border of the country where the tourist permanently lives. Meanwhile domestic
tourism is a tourism travel within tourists own country.
Educational Tourism
A journey could be done with various goals namely to spend a holiday
time, for business purpose, or for education reason. From this huge scope of tourism,
a journey in search for an academic qualification or just an education experience have
become a part of tourism (Ritchie, Carr, & Cooper, 2003, p. 9).
Tourists will intercept with various new experiences in their travels. Seeing
tradition of society they just interact with, tasting their food, enjoying new places,
culture, and their life styles. These things have convinced may tourists that a tourism
travel includes a learning activity within it. Educational tourism is not a new concept,
การประชุมวิชาการระดับชาติ ครั้งที่ 5 และระดับนานาชาติ ครั้งที่ 3
The Fifth National and the Third International Conferences 2018 333
but the development of this activity now is done in more various and interesting
ways. The core of educational tourism is experiential learning (Arsenault, 2001).
Tourism and education are two main components in education tourism as seen in
Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Educational tourism could be a tourism travel to various education and
learning places even though those places are not the main goals of their tourism
travel. Tourists that conduct a tourism visit could be from an education institution
such as school, university, religious groups or others, or from adult study tour, short
courses, school visits, even students exchange are several activities commonly done
in educational tourism. Educational tourism could be done informally or formally.
The scope could be national or international (Ritchie et al., 2003, p. 18).Educational
tourism is a specific form of tourism, different with child tourism, youth tourism and
school tourism although the last three are parts of educational tourism. Therefore
market share of educational tourism can be developed more broadly.
Figure 3.
Market share of the students of formal school has its own attractiveness.
Figure 2 shows data of students in Indonesia from Junior high school to tertiary
education level. This figure reveals the market potential for ”Kampung Inggris” as
English Education Tourism Village.

Finding
A Brief History of Kampung Inggris Pare-Kediri
Kampung Inggris is a name of two villages namely Pelem Village dan
Tulungrejo Village, Pare, Kediri, East Java. In this area, there are hundreds courses
จิตอาสากับการพัฒนาสังคมที่ยั่งยืน
334 (Volunteer Spirit with Sustainable Social Development)
especially English courses. Basic English Course (BEC) was the first English course in
this area. BEC was founded by Kalend Osen in June 15th, 1977. Up to know BEC has
graduated 22.000 students. The amount of courses increase and the founders mostly
related to BEC (its graduates). BEC is the pioneer of the Kampung Inggris and Kalend
Osen is known as the founding father Kampung Inggris. However, the branding of
Kampung Inggris for Tulungrejo Village and Pelem Village is not liked by Kalend
Osen. That branding is perceived as misleading, therefore Kalend Osen prefers
“Kampong of English Course”.
In line with the increases of the amount of courses institution, the
participants of English courses started to flow in from all over Indonesia. Even from
neighbor foreign countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and others. In 2000s, investors
from other towns started to aware about the market potential and heightened the
competition by opening their own courses institutions. The courses institutions now
in Kampung Inggris is not only for English but also for Arabic, Koreas, Mandarin,
Japan and others. And courses other than language also begin to exist there such as
courses for music, computer, math, and so on.
bamboo, some others carried out in car garage and many others. However, several
big course institutions have representative rooms for learning and some have air
conditioners.
Learning programs offered are various in terms of time frame and skills to
achieve. Several course institution only offer very specific skills such as speaking or
grammar only. But many institutions offer grammar and speaking in various
packages make course participants can take them in parallel. Some course institutions
offer programs that very dense in terms of time such as programs that conduct 5
sessions a day. This makes participants more flexible in deciding what program to
take and when to take. Students then feel that in Kampung Inggris, everything can be
easily arranged according to ability and willingness of participants.
Many elementary, intermediary, and tertiary education institutions
conduct educational tourism travels to Kampung Inggris. Most of those institutions
cooperate with the existing course institutions in Kampung Inggris. This programs
last for various time duration from one to two weeks. During this period, the
participants stay in and follow the programs that have been arranged in advanced
based on their demands. These activities are usually carried out during school break
according academic calendar such as inter academic year break.
For educational tourists with main goal is to take English course in Pare,
they have to put attention to traditions in Pare. Majority of course institutions start
their learning period on 10th or 25th day every month. Therefore the choice of
appropriate institution is very important. There are several courses institutions have
good reputation. Course places which have certain specify create its own
attractiveness. For example, a course institution with specialty in speaking, provides
public speaking as its advantage program. Besides, the quality of teachers or tutor
international level, ”Toast Master”.
those who are from outside Pare. Only 10 percent is owned by those from Pare. Some
investors that own course institutions expand into other businesses such as café,
dormitory, camp, laundry, and others. Local residents of Tulungrejo Village who
survive and own enough capital, change their houses for business while remain
living their life as peasants.
Branding Kampung Inggris has built an image as English is used by those
live in the area as lingua franca. The fact is that only in certain areas, English is used
as compulsory such as in camps. Surrounding society remain use local dialect or
Indonesian Bahasa in selling their things. Mashudi’s report (2016) confirmed when he
met juice seller and taxi bike driver who spoke English well.
Fundamental changes for Tulungrejo Village and Pelem Village as ”English
Educational Tourism Village” of course needs participation and involvement of local
society. Investors that own course institutions in Kampung Inggris have involved
local society in several ways. The involvement could take form in cooperation in
renting veranda or living rooms for learning places. There are also many houses
owned by surrounding society used as camps by course institutions. Course
institutions also use society to work for them daily activities. The investors also
provide them the opportunity to improve their ability and skills in English. The
opportunity is given in various ways, but the most common way is by freeing society
of Kampung Inggris from course fees.
testimony is very low. The most reliable information is from traditional word of
mouth communication where the message receivers know that the message senders
are those who once lived in Kampung Inggris.

tourism.
