Di tengah-tengah ancaman kepunahan bilou di Kepulauan Mentawai dewasa ini, maka amatlah penting memetik pembelajaran dari kearifan lokal setempat dan menyeleksinya untuk dijadikan bagian dari penedekatan dan intrumen terpadu pelestarian bilou. Sebagaimana juga penting meninjau ulang berbagai bentuk promosi modernitas dan intervensi pembangunan yang selama ini kontra-produktif terhadap tujuan konservasi bilou, meliputi perlunya regulasi baru dan penegakan hukum yang lebih konsekuen.</p

So that if it is made into a homestay it will create a dilemma, on the one hand, the Rumah Gadang needs to be maintained as a distinctive Minangkabau cultural monument and on the other hand, the tourism aspect can have an economic impact on the Sijunjung community. It is this dualism of Rumah Gadang as a cultural product and a tourism product that results in commodification to develop tourism in rural areas. The method used is a thorough observation of the Rumah Gadang and interviewing the residents and Ninik Mamak (traditional ruler) as members of the tribe that owns the Rumah gadang. A total of 15 Rumah Gadang have become homestays under the auspices of BCA bank CSR and are managed by the Nagari Sijunjung Traditional Village Management Agency (BP). Apart from that, Rumah Gadang still functions as a place and space for the social and cultural activities of the Sijunjung people. So that the values and norms that exist in the Rumah Gadang as a symbol of Minangkabau culture continue to run and through homestays, the Sijunjung community can get additional economic benefits from the tourism sector

Through observation methods, in-depth interviews and utilizing previous writings, the phenomenon of Rumah Gadang in the Traditional Village of Nagari Sijunjung which is used as an inn and tourist destination through the concept of rural tourism is examined.
