Popis: Tariqa Shattariyya (TS) is a transnational spiritual flow that has become part of the Pariaman community’s culture in Indonesia. This movement exists at all levels of the people, and is exemplivied in the Basapa ceremony, which is an example of spiritual tourism in the TS tradition. The Basapa ceremony has succeeded in engaging the local community and visitors in a range of spiritual activity performances. This study aims to evaluate Tariqa Shattariyya (TS) in Pariaman, Indonesia. A qualitative approach is used to explore, understand, and interpret the data obtained. The data collected were sourced from pilgrims, grave managers, traders, and local government. The results show that TS has attractive features, particularly the Basapa tradition, where various rituals are carried out, such as prayer and remembrance activities, which have different meaning for pilgrims. As a spiritual tourism activity, the tradition also affects the cultural development and community economic empowerment in the region.
