Cok Ace said that Indonesia has a diversity of arts, culture, customs and traditions that are characteristic of each region. Customs and traditions that grow and develop in every village that spreads from Sabang to Merauke.
According to him, with the capital of art, culture, customs and traditions, each village can be developed into a tourist village.
