This encourages the development of other related tourism products and attractions in the area, such as a uniqueness industry production processes, local culture, local culinary, and local heritage artifacts. Sustaining the tourism destination area based on the creative industry area has to involve all the industrial actors and collaborate with all stakeholders to support the area's development.

The results found that the concept of sustainable tourism improved the image of the kampong area, increased trust between consumers and industry players, increased community cohesion among industry players, and increased collaboration among industrial actors and other parties.
