The conceptual framework illustrates the relationships between three key variables: Local Wisdom

Festival Marketing, Shared Values, and Revisit Intention. It proposes that effective marketing of local
wisdom festivals can positively influence visitors' shared values, which, in turn, enhances their
intention to revisit the festival in the future.

1. Local Wisdom Festival Marketing:

Local Wisdom Festival Marketing refers to the strategic planning and implementation of marketing
activities aimed at promoting and highlighting the unique cultural heritage, traditions, and practices
showcased in a local wisdom festival. It involves various marketing channels, such as social media
campaigns, advertisements, word-of-mouth promotion, and event organization, to attract visitors
and raise awareness about the festival.

2. Shared Values:

Shared Values represent the alignment of the festival's cultural principles, customs, and values with
those of its visitors. When individuals attend a local wisdom festival, they interact with the culture
and traditions on display. If they find resonance between their personal values and the values
celebrated during the festival, they are more likely to develop a sense of shared values.

3. Revisit Intention:

Revisit Intention refers to the likelihood that visitors will return to the local wisdom festival in the
future. It reflects the level of satisfaction, emotional connection, and enjoyment experienced by
attendees during their initial visit. Higher revisit intention indicates a positive perception of the
festival, leading to the potential for increased repeat attendance.

Cultural festivals hold immense significance in showcasing the rich heritage and traditions of a
community or region. Local wisdom festivals, in particular, celebrate and preserve indigenous
knowledge, customs, and practices that have been passed down through generations. In this
conceptual framework, we explore the interconnectedness between Local Wisdom Festival
Marketing, Shared Values, and Revisit Intention. The framework suggests that effective marketing
strategies for these festivals can play a pivotal role in fostering a stronger sense of shared values
among visitors, leading to a higher likelihood of revisiting the festival in the future.

cultural essence of the festival. It encompasses a range of activities and campaigns designed to
attract visitors and create awareness about the event. These marketing efforts may include:

print, radio, and television to reach a broader audience. The objective is to create a buzz
around the festival and convey its significance in preserving local wisdom.
b. Storytelling and Content Creation: Utilizing compelling storytelling to highlight the
historical background, cultural significance, and the impact of the festival on the

ensure authenticity and inclusivity. Community engagement can enhance the festival's
credibility and create a sense of ownership among residents.

experiences, workshops, or pre-event events. This helps in building anticipation and
generating interest among potential attendees.

2. Revisit Intention:

Revisit Intention refers to the inclination of festival-goers to return to the local wisdom festival in
the future. It is influenced by their overall experience during the event and the level of shared values
they have developed. Factors contributing to Revisit Intention include:

a. Positive Experience: A positive and memorable experience during the festival,


characterized by cultural immersion, meaningful interactions, and enjoyment, can
instill a desire to relive the experience.
b. Sense of Connection: Visitors who have developed a strong sense of shared values
and emotional connection are more likely to wish to revisit the festival to reinforce
those connections.
c. Perceived Value: The perception of value derived from attending the festival, in
terms of cultural enrichment, personal growth, and enjoyment, can encourage
visitors to consider a return visit.

In brief, Effective marketing efforts that effectively communicate and showcase the cultural
significance and richness of the local wisdom festival can create a sense of curiosity and interest

As visitors experience a sense of shared values with the festival's cultural identity, they
develop a stronger emotional connection to the event. This emotional bond, coupled with an
appreciation for the cultural expressions, fosters positive feelings of belongingness and attachment.
As a result, visitors are more likely to desire a return visit to the festival to reinforce those
connections and relive the emotionally significant experiences.

The conceptual framework highlights the critical role of Shared Values in influencing visitors'
intention to revisit local wisdom festivals. As attendees engage with the cultural expressions and
traditions during the event, they may develop an emotional connection and a sense of cultural

attachment, which in turn, cultivates the desire to revisit the festival. Understanding this relationship
is essential for festival organizers and marketers to create meaningful and culturally immersive
experiences that foster lasting connections with visitors, leading to higher revisit rates and
sustainable cultural tourism.

In summary, the conceptual framework proposes that Local Wisdom Festival Marketing has a direct
positive impact on Shared Values, and these Shared Values, in turn, influence visitors' Revisit
