Funeral Traditions in Toraja, Indonesia: Corpses Remain in Houses for Years Before Being Buried in Cliffs
Toraja Indonesia has a unique funeral tradition called Rambu Solo.--
This drives local economic growth, particularly in the accommodation, transportation, culinary, and souvenir sectors. Many people take advantage of this opportunity to sell Torajan specialty goods such as woven fabrics, wood carvings, and traditional foods.
According to data from the Toraja Tourism Office, the number of tourists visiting Toraja during July and August—the peak period for Rambu Solo—increases by up to 30% compared to other months.
This demonstrates that in addition to being a cultural heritage, Rambu Solo also has great potential as a tourist attraction that can be further developed.
