ABSTRACT
Integrating the concept of local knowledge in the development of tourism is a new trend that departs from avoiding the local culture to be eroded by global culture. The study was conducted using literature review from current scientific books and papers in the reputable international journal. To confirm the literature review, we also took a survey from 50 students that are doing service learning. The model of the service learning is based on local knowledge. This article discussed three concepts, namely (i) the concept of service learning, (ii) the concept of local knowledge, and (iii) service learning based on local knowledge in the development of tourism.
