To increase durability and sustainability the blangkon home industries have to adapt to trend development. The research aims to build a model of tourism village based on local wisdom. The method of phenomenology observation was applied to find aspects that have a good opportunity to be integrated directly and indirectly with the product and production of blangkon. The fusion of those two aspects became a part of tourism activities in Surakarta and The Province of Central Java. The result of research leads to some important conclusions. The product and production of blangkon have to be integrated harmoniously with some other aspects and activities especially those based on local wisdom in order to build and to save the blangkon becoming an important heritage matter and commodity.
