Probably, it is actually a matter of imbalance on development policy. By and large, development in general is ideally intended to improve people’s prosperity.

community then proposed the removal of Denpasar City and the airport to other region in order the new region could also drive a better economic growth. Meanwhile, another protested that its region was just used as stopover of cruise passenger. After landing, guests spent holidays or had excursion to other neighboring destination. It is considered, the region was merely taken advantage for ‘urinating’ and guests spent not a single penny. Various attempts have indeed been undertaken by local government to gradually diminish such imbalance. One of them is by launching tourism village in regencies. By this initiative, guests are driven to explore local village to know more about their uniqueness. They were expected to not only have a sightseeing tour but also take advantage of local accommodation facilities. The program denotes one of the community involvements in tourism or better known as community-based tourism. Additionally, guests will have more convenient times to explore the splendor of the village and get in closer touch with the local community. This will enable local people to provide everything required by guests during their stay at the village. They are starting from unique tradition, beauty of nature, challenging adventure to delicious and country-style culinary. Of course, these would enrich their personal experience as one of the objectives of traveling. Simantri or integrated farming system initiated by Governor Pastika is another program that is also expected to empty out into agricultural-based tourism. Basically, it is commenced by empowering farmers through the implementation of eco-friendly facilities of rice productions. At the end, it also wants to achieve prosperity, quality health and better environment. Last but not least, government should also map the great potential retained by each region and make a policy in such a way that each region is included in particular tour package. Basically each region has unique and attractive potentials like arts, livelihood, tools, tourist destinations, customs and other treasures. Besides, government can lead new investment to less developed regions and establish interregency cooperation in distributing job opportunities. In reality, there are some regencies undergoing rapid growth in the handicraft industry and informal sector enterprises, while others have abundant unemployment. Local labor force should be given priority to fill in the opportunities as they are supporters of local culture and responsible for its conservation. Bali has a great potential of pristine destination. This should be managed and preserved accordingly for its sustainability. When this can be achieved, people will have more job opportunities without leaving agriculture or other previous job. Conversely, tourists will have a wide choice of destination and attraction to visit. Hopefully, such development could be supported by all components of the community, so the ‘social envy’ could be gradually diminished without moving the ‘existing infrastructure’ but discovering each local potential and how to get a share of the opportunities.

Change the Weakness into Challenge Ketut Swabawa, Resident Manager of Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort & Spa is typical of person who does not easily give up. He comes from a family background with less support of the economy to sustain his big dream. But with strong will and persistent struggle, so that he can be like now. He also a unique Resident Manager due to his educational background which is not derived from the fields of tourism, but an STM graduated. This, of course, is very rare.

H

e entered the tourism industry when he worked as a daily worker technician at Ramada Bintang Bali Hotel in 1994. In that time he began to think that apparently working at the hotel was very nice and pleasant which eventually became the obsession of his own. Although later in the year 1995 he forced to leave the hotel due to the crisis and moved to PT. Canning Indonesia Product, but because of his obsession that still wanted to work in a hotel, then only three years later he got that chance again. It was noted that several hotels used his services such as The Ahimsa Villa, Alu Bali Villa and Sol Lovina Villas & Spa Resort, where in 2001 he had become a Chief Engineer at the hotel. “In Sol Lovina I started to learn by autodidact. My learning process on this stage is quite difference

compared with my colleagues, I start to looking the source of the problem and solve them by positivenegative anticipated effect, while some people wait until the instruction was given and move the problem to other part, not solved them. For me there are two important things I always emphasize to myself. Those are time and health. Time for me is everything. I will not be able to return the elapsed time, so I really appreciate it. In addition, I am also very concerned about my health because I realize when experiencing any illness, then my work will be disrupted. From this discipline, so finally in the year 2003 I was appointed as Resident Manager at the hotel,” said the man who was born on May 30, 1976. From Sol Lovina Villas & Spa Resort, he then tried to find new challenges by moving to Komaneka

Ubud in 2005. There, he tried again to do something new by handling the position of Executive Housekeeper which of course was very different from his previous jobs. It did not take a long time to prove his capacity by becoming a Resort Manager of Komaneka at Monkey Forest and also Komaneka at Bisma including to set up and open its newest resort and wedding chapel. Then, when his contract expired at the Komaneka in early 2010, so accurately in April 2010 he proposed an application to Rama Hotels and Resorts Bali as Freelancer Operation Consultant and was offered to in charge as Resident Manager of Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort & Spa, a member of Rama Hotels and Resorts Bali. This very low profile manager has two hopes in his life; in financial, he expects to be able to provide a good education for his children, and in social side, he wants to make more people smart and work. All is reflecting his educate-ages experience. He has a very great time when having discussion with his friends (he always call ‘friend’ to his staff). He always reminds them that everyone is a server in the resort, from the landscaper until General Manager. As a server, we could manage ourselves to provide an honest and best quality of services. In hospitality industry, the service is a basic concept has to well establish beside of luxury and

gorgeous property or view presentation. “I admit that my career is not easy. I started everything from zero, moved the workplace from one to another and occupied different positions. Besides my education was not too high because it hit my main weakness which in that case was financial. But I didn’t give up. I changed my weakness into challenge which also ultimately helped to change my destiny to be like now. Another thing to be considered is about the opportunity. That’s why I always thankful and respect to my previous experiences. I met good

Now I may say that my weakness has changed into my strength because as the manager of a property or resort we have to know entire fields of our responsibility from the main gate until the back of house, from rank in file until management thinking. Luckily, I have been there before. I’m so grateful and proud with my life. I think everyone has the same opportunity, but the difference is how they maintain that opportunity.

Rector Reminds of Saintly Ethical Codes ............... (Cont. from page 14)

He reminded that, other than having an academic freedom, professor also had to have the sasana kawikon or saintly code of ethics, namely patience, respect other people’s opinions, no touchy, honest and keeping the promises. On that account, Sukarsa said the success of Runa was also the success of Warmadewa University. To motivate the birth of more professors in Warmadewa University, Chairman of Korpri Bali Welfare Foundation, IGA Oka Wisnu Murti, said the foundation set up allowances for professors aside from getting benefits from the government. Secondly, the foundation set up scholarships worth IDR 100 million per year for lecturers that would continue their study to doctoral program. Thus, he targeted that Warmadewa University could give birth to a professor each year. Even, he considered that Runa was a scarce professor in the scientific field of Faculty of Engineering. Coordinator of Private Higher Education (Kopertis) of Region VIII, Prof. Baharuddin was proud that Kopertis added one more professor. He expected the lecturers of Warmadewa University could take advantage of 800 scholarship quotas for doctoral program each year. Unfortunately, only 3-4 lecturers of Kopertis VIII taking advantage of the offer. They found difficulty in the matter of foreign language, competition and family problems. BTN

Community-Based Tourism (2)

Com1-742

herever you go on Bali, you will hear people discussing about Community-Based Tourism (CBT). To get a survey of the impact of CBT sofar, I visited villages all over Bali and found indeed that CBT is ‘the talk of town’. Bali comprises of many villages, and these villages have in mind to develop CBT, although generally speaking they don’t really understand about CBT and surely not how to develop it. They just expect that CBT will bring welfare to the villages. In their ambition they are looking at Ubud that in the past has developed from a small rural village into the center of art, culture and spirituality of today. And nowadays Ubud is inviting many international tourists for tasting art, culture and spirituality as an eyeand mind-opener in their life. What the villages mostly overlook is that Ubud is a unique case, which can not easily be copied to be introduced in their own place. CBT is a general concept that has to be adapted to the specific circumstances of each village. In some way it does remind me of the Gold-Rush in the USA in the fifties of the 19th century, when so many people tried their luck by trekking to the West, where they would dig up from the rivers so much gold that they wouldn’t worry anymore for the rest of their life. Of course some adventurers were lucky by finding gold, but most didn’t dig up any gold and realized too late that the Gold-Rush was just a fata

morgana. Their dreams spoilt they had not the energy anymore to restart their life. The ambition to start CBT all over Bali is more or less comparable with the Gold-Rush of old times. People in or outside the villages are starting CBT without proper analysis and preparations. Home stay is established with a small number of rooms and the villagers have high expectations of international tourists, who will stay overnight and experience rural life (the life of the farmer) and attend dance and gamelan performances. However, the moment international tourists do not show up, the euphoria of the beginning drops down and feelings of apathy and frustration emerge. That’s what happens today. Overseeing the outcry for CBT I have mixed feelings. On one hand I know that CBT is basically okay in this respect that it is inextricably linked to tourism and as such can be profitable to enhance the welfare of the people of Bali. On the other hand I am aware that the explosion of initiatives by villages to start right away with CBT is doing more harm than good. And just as with the adventurers of the Gold-Rush in the USA who started enthusiastically, but became disillusioned, it will be difficult for villages to make a restart after their spontaneous plan to develop CBT has failed. The only logical conclusion from this dilemma will be to mark time instead of pushing new initiatives

LOLEC Column

which only leads to frustration. In the meantime one should not stop the initiatives that have already star ted and are running as expected, but unfortunately that is more exception than rule. The first priority to develop CBT successfully will be to study and discuss the results of applied research before deciding about the road-map to CBT. Recently, some interesting researches have been published about the feasibility of CBT on Bali. These researches are conducted in rural villages (Bedulu, Mas and Pinge) by researchers of NHTV, Breda, The Netherlands. It is beyond the reach of this article to go into detail, but the headlines of these researches are interesting and can not be ignored. Two basic conditions have to be considered before ever starting CBT, namely the linkage of CBT to the Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy and the meaning of the concept of CBT. As long as people, who are involved, have just a vague idea about these two basic conditions, you better forget about CBT. CBT has to be based on the THK. Nearly all villages on Bali are desa adat, what means that the people in the village are living according to customary law and respect the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. Whatever the people in the village will undertake, the activities have to be in line with THK. In a meeting to discuss the feasibility of CBT in Pinge, a village in the heart of Bali, the community leader stressed the point that everyone

involved has to maintain the vision of Tri Hita Karana. By referring to the Tri Hita Karana the village chief expressed his desire for sustainable development of CBT in his village and all members of that meeting agreed completely with this statement. I am sure that the village chief of Pinge can be seen as the mouthpiece of all villages on Bali. The confession to the values of THK can be seen as the origin of daily life in the village and new activities such as CBT have to be in line with THK. By taking sufficient time for discussion about the impact of THK on CBT many problems during the process of CBT can be prevented. I realize that this kind of discussion is not easy, but has to be done to prevent frustration. The confession to THK means for example that sacred places in the village will never be desecrated by tourists, nor that the community will be upset by improper behavior of tourists or that the environment will be polluted. These are negative aspects that will be discussed beforehand, so there will be no frustration afterwards. It will also be in line with THK that CBT will be to the benefit of all villagers and not just the happy few. Otherwise this would endanger the solidarity in the community life and would bring daily life out of balance. It is impossible to discuss beforehand all potential excesses. Crucial however is the statement by all stakeholders that CBT can

only be developed in line with the philosophy of THK and that they are willing to discuss all problems on the way to CBT against the background of THK. It is a conditio sine qua non or in other words a condition that can not be disputed. Villages will claim this condition as a guarantee that their authenticity will not be endangered by innovation. CBT together with the development of Bali Green Province are the political topics that will attract many international tourists to Bali. Made Mangku Pastika, Bali Governor, recently wrote in the preface of the roadmap towards Bali Green Province: “This program aims to create a regional environment of Bali that is clean, healthy, comfortable, sustainable and beautiful in accordance with the values of the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana”. I have no doubt that this Governor is willing to underline the same statement in the preface of a roadmap to CBT on Bali. On the short term this roadmap to CBT on Bali can be made, supported by recent research. Just as in the case of Bali Green Province the initiative has to be taken by the provincial government. A special taskforce is needed consisting of stakeholders. First of all they have to agree about the concept of CBT, because not everyone has the same opinion. But I will reflect on that in the next edition of BTN. BTN * ) Prof. Dr. Jan Hendrik Peters, Director of International Centre of Service studies Bali

Comparable opinion was also disclosed by the Dean of ALVA UWA Faculty, Winthrop, Prof. Simon Anderson. He hoped the cooperation relationship could be established sustainably. This cooperation served as the starting point of relationship between the two institutions that later on could produce a lot of cooperation programs. Among others, in the near future one of the lecturers of the Faculty of ALVA-UWA would give a workshop in ISI Denpasar. Opening of the exhibition was attended by representatives of the Vice Chancellor of UWA, Kim Brown, Director of Culture Precinct, Ted Snell, Dean of the ALVA UWA Faculty—Winthrop, Prof. Simon Anderson, Deputy Rector III of ISI Denpasar, Dean Faculty of Fine Arts and Design of ISI Denpasar, the delegation consisting of lecturers and students of ISI Denpasar, vice consul of the Republic of Indonesia in Perth, as well as lecturers and students of the UWA.

Sept. 24 - Oct. 7, 2010

Made Suparka:

“Balawista” Gives Positive Image in Terms of Security “Balawista” (Badan Penyelamat Wisata Tirta) was another part of Kuta beach that we could meet every day around there. Made Suparka as coordinator of Balawista for the Badung region mentioned that the attendance of Balawista was very important remembering that its duty was to provide security for visitors who came especially for swimming or other water activities.

V

iewed from the history, Suparka explained that Balawista was established in 1972 by an Australian, together with Gede Brata who at that time was served as chairman of the youth organization of Banjar Wangaya

Kaja. At that time the name was WAJA Surf Life Saving Guard and funded only by donations from local hotels. Then, in 1978, it began to be taken over by local government specifically by the tourism department. Therefore, since that time, all operating budgets were financed by them and the name was also changed into Balawista. Since 1980, he continued, Balawista had already its world organization and the name was World Life Saving (now it called the International Life Saving Federation). From there, it was decided that every two years since 1981 the organization would be hold a congress or meeting, and also games which participated by the nations who already became the members of that World Life Saving. “We hosted the first congress and game which located at Kuta beach. At that time we received the award as the Best Asian Team because we managed to collect the most points in comparison with participants from other Asian countries. It’s one of our greatest achievements,” he said proudly. The center of Balawista for Indonesia was located in Bali. Currently Balawista especially in the province of Bali could be found in several areas such as Badung, Denpasar, Gianyar, Klungkung and Karangasem. Personally Suparka hoped that Balawista established in every district of Bali remembering that almost all the districts have their

security. Besides, I would also like to underline that Balawista is not an easy job and very challenging. It can be said that apart from helping people, on the other hand we also risked our own lives,” he explained at the end of the interview. B N (BTN/Angga/Dewa)

Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world. The area is located 20 minutes south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar and is a short drive to many of Bali’s attractions and beautiful beaches. This is the home of many of Bali’s world-class luxury resort hotels.

Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget Beach These beautiful beaches are several kilometers north of Kuta. Like its neighboring beaches, these offer a refuge for surfers. There are also many facilities for tourists as the result of the Kuta north expansion. Sangeh “Monkey Forest” Sangeh is the village whose northern part covers about 14 hectares of a holy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ trees with hundreds of monkey inhabitants. The trees cannot be found on any other part of Bali and their existence in this village remains a mystery. Look for a lovely mossy temple, which is hidden amongst the tall and gracious ‘Pala’ trees.

Uluwatu Temple At the westernmost tip of Bukit Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine ‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples. The location is dramatic, perched on the edge of a high cliff with a picturesque sunset view. The temple was first used for worship by the 11th century holy priest, Empu Kuturan, who came to Bali to bring religious law and to form Desa Adat (traditional villages). The area where spectacular sunsets can be viewed is filled with the scent of frangipani blossoms and is also the home of friendly monkeys. Petitenget Temple Peti Tenget temple and beach is located at Banjar Batubelig, Kerobokan village kecamatan Kuta. To reach this object by motor vehicle from Denpasar, travel westwards more or less 10 km then turn south, or to the north from Kuta following Raya Seminyak Street. Peti Tenget temple was built in the 15th century and it used to be a plot of extraordinary holy (Tenget) land, bush growth and dwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demon that was trusted by Holy priest, Dang Hyang Nirartha to safeguard his holy box. The story is told that when the priest stayed at south port (now Uluwatu), a man from Kerobokan village came asking the priest for help. He wished to cultivate the plot of land without feeling fear. The priest suggested that the people build a temple dedicated to god ‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a single closed shrine (Pagedongan) for Bhuta Ijo as a place to safeguard the priest’s box (Peti). From that time on, the temple was named Peti Tenget Temple. Sadha Temple This temple, with decorative carvings, is famous for its intricacy and ingenuity. Dating from the Majapahit period, this originally was an old dynastic sanctuary (prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

split gate and a 16-meter high tower inside the temple are constructed much like ‘Candi’ in Java. The 64 stone seats, similar to megalithic ancestral shrines, commemorate warriors who died in battle. Taman Ayun Temple ‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful garden, located in the village of Mengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar. It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom, built its stately proportioned courtyards and large surrounding moat in the year 1634. Containing both the Royal family ancestral shrines and the storied MERU shrines to the major deities, Taman Ayun became the main temple for the ancient kingdom of Mengwi. BTN (BTN/*)

Tourism Attractions in Badung Regency

Bangli, the Only non-Coastal Regency on the Island Bangli, capital town of the regional government of Bangli, which is located precisely in the central part of Bali province, is the only one of the nine regencies in Bali that has no coastal areas. The mountainous area with its beautiful valleys and steep slopes give this northern part of the region its unique side. Mount Abang, the highest peak is about 2.152 meters above sea level. Kintamani, a worldwide renowned tourism resort is located in this northern part. In the southern part of this region, about 100 meters above sea level stretches a broad plain of mostly rice fields. Its geographic background shows its neighboring regions are the regional government of Buleleng in the north,

Klungkung and Karangasem in the east, Gianyar and Klungkung in the south and Badung and Gianyar to the west. Kehen Temple Pura Kehen is one of the most ancient temples in Bali. It is here that

three old bronze manuscripts were housed. The people around the village worship this temple. The ceremony takes place on Rabu Kliwon Shinta where Ngusabha ceremony is held once in every three-year period, which falls on Purnama Kelima around November. This temple is located on the southern slope of Bangli hill, about two kilometers from the town. It is really an historical temple worth visiting. It has a long flight of steps pointing down to the south. It can be reached by any mode of transport through a well kept shafted road, or a short walk from Bangli cultural hall (Sasana Budaya Bangli).

Resolving Environmental Problems by Tri Hita Karana Concept * Launching of hamlet sanitation competition across Denpasar DENPASAR In the City

T

ri Hita Karana (THK) concept is very appropriate to apply in daily life. Moreover, by considering the development of time increasingly complex, this concept needs implanting primarily to problems related to palemahan (environmental aspect) and pawongan (social aspect). These ancestral concepts are suitable to resolve the environmental problems. This matter was conveyed by the Mayor of Denpasar I.B. Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra when opening the launch of Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) and hamlet sanitation competition throughout Denpasar at Abian Kapas Kelod Hamlet, Sumerta Village, East Denpasar subdistrict, last Thursday (Sep

2). The inauguration was also attended by Chairwoman of the Denpasar PKK Motivator Team Mrs. I.A. Selly D. Mantra and Regional Secretary of Denpasar AAN Rai Iswara along with the staff and community leaders. For that purpose, Rai Mantra expected the participation and public awareness to continue the mutual assistance activities at hamlets so environmental sanitation and health could be achieved. Components of the community should build an awareness collectively to overcome the environmental problems. It was by considering the increasing economic advancement occurred in the urban development and it was also followed by the complexity of urban problems where one of them was environmental problems. Furthermore, Rai Mantra highlighted that community leaders and all components of the society should be synergized with the Denpasar Municipality in resolving various urban problems. “Essentially, such effectiveness happens pursuant to the public awareness,” said Rai Mantra. According to Rai Mantra, the problem on dengue fever (DB) in Denpasar was triggered by several factors. Among others, they were caused by demographic and environmental problems. In addition, it was also caused by negligence attitude of the society

alinese art and culture are always appreciated and become a pride of the community abroad. It is proven by many Balinese artists either of individuals or groups invited to show off their skills in dancing or playing the traditional gamelan musical instruments. This year, the Semara Ratih Gamelan Troupe of Ubud with three art troupes from other regions will make performance in three European countries namely the Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey to take part in the International Gamelan Festival representing Indonesia. Anak Agung Anom Putera,

Chairman of the Semara Ratih Gamelan Troupe when had audience with the Regent of Gianyar at the regent’s residential house, last Thursday (Sep 2), said the festival was held for 23 days on September 2-25, 2010. Meanwhile, the Semara Ratih would make a show in the Netherlands (Sep 10), in Belgium (Sep 11) and ultimately in Turkey (Sep 23). “We are showing off a new innovation from Balinese gamelan composition by interpreting modern music into Balinese gamelan. In this case, to realize the composition we make collaboration with two composers namely Evan Syvoren from the United States and Ketut Cater from Bali,” said Anom Putera. According to him, the International Gamelan Festival held in Holland this year was more grandiose because it coincided with the centennial celebration of the Tropen Theater where the festival took place. “This makes us feel proud to be part of that historic event,” he said while smiling proudly. In the meantime, the regent of Gianyar who received them on the audience said as a Balinese and the number one man in Gianyar he was very proud of the achievement attained by Semara Ratih Gamelan Troupe. Such achievement progressively established Gianyar as the city of arts and it also became

Present on the occasion were the Chairman of INCCA Bali I.B. Lolec (Ida Bagus Surakusuma), Deputy Chairman Ketut Jaman, Secretary Martin, and Putu Gede Wiwien Gunawaseka and Sumadi as members. Lolec said that INCCA Bali inaugurated on September 10, 2007 was intended to become a forum for companies conducting the business in congress and convention services and other businesses dealing directly with the convention, incentive travel and exhibition business services in Bali. “INCCA Bali has vision and

mission to realize Bali as a premier tourist destination in the field of quality meeting, incentive travel, convention and exhibition in Indonesia either in national and international scale, as well as to develop and improve business in the area of tourism services, in particular the MICE management services,” he explained. Lolec said during the three-year journey of the INCCA Bali had carried out many activities in the effort to make improvement in MICE services. His party had also held a number of courses related to MICE while promoting Bali as a tourist destination in the convention, incentive travel and exhibition. “Every year Bali hosts some international events.

Tabanan Regency TABANAN Rainbow over ricefields

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

a tourism promotion, especially for Gianyar Regency in international constellation. To that end, the regent expected the Semara Ratih could make performance

maximally and bring the reputation of Bali, chiefly Gianyar that had been well known for its hospitality and culture. BTN (BTN/015)

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.

If you hail a taxi on the street, be sure that the name of the taxi company is clearly marked on it. 3. Insist on using the meter. Don’t fall for driver who bargains or claims that his meter is broken. 4. In the taxi, note the taxi’s number and the driver’s ID. This may be handy if you want to register a complaint or trace belongings left behind. 5. In places such as Ubud, Sanur, and Kuta there are many people who offer you transportation services. If you must take any of their services, make sure you establish the price up front. 6. There are licenced taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.

If you hail a taxi on the street, be sure that the name of the taxi company is clearly marked on it. 3. Insist on using the meter. Don’t fall for driver who bargains or claims that his meter is broken. 4. In the taxi, note the taxi’s number and the driver’s ID. This may be handy if you want to register a complaint or trace belongings left behind. 5. In places such as Ubud, Sanur, and Kuta there are many people who offer you transportation services. If you must take any of their services, make sure you establish the price up front. 6. There are licenced taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.

Resolving Environmental Problems by Tri Hita Karana Concept * Launching of hamlet sanitation competition across Denpasar DENPASAR In the City

T

ri Hita Karana (THK) concept is very appropriate to apply in daily life. Moreover, by considering the development of time increasingly complex, this concept needs implanting primarily to problems related to palemahan (environmental aspect) and pawongan (social aspect). These ancestral concepts are suitable to resolve the environmental problems. This matter was conveyed by the Mayor of Denpasar I.B. Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra when opening the launch of Mosquito Nest Eradication (PSN) and hamlet sanitation competition throughout Denpasar at Abian Kapas Kelod Hamlet, Sumerta Village, East Denpasar subdistrict, last Thursday (Sep

2). The inauguration was also attended by Chairwoman of the Denpasar PKK Motivator Team Mrs. I.A. Selly D. Mantra and Regional Secretary of Denpasar AAN Rai Iswara along with the staff and community leaders. For that purpose, Rai Mantra expected the participation and public awareness to continue the mutual assistance activities at hamlets so environmental sanitation and health could be achieved. Components of the community should build an awareness collectively to overcome the environmental problems. It was by considering the increasing economic advancement occurred in the urban development and it was also followed by the complexity of urban problems where one of them was environmental problems. Furthermore, Rai Mantra highlighted that community leaders and all components of the society should be synergized with the Denpasar Municipality in resolving various urban problems. “Essentially, such effectiveness happens pursuant to the public awareness,” said Rai Mantra. According to Rai Mantra, the problem on dengue fever (DB) in Denpasar was triggered by several factors. Among others, they were caused by demographic and environmental problems. In addition, it was also caused by negligence attitude of the society

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Organizing Committee who is also the Head of Denpasar Health Services, Luh Sri Armini, said in her report that to realize Denpasar clean and free from mosquito’s larva, the

alinese art and culture are always appreciated and become a pride of the community abroad. It is proven by many Balinese artists either of individuals or groups invited to show off their skills in dancing or playing the traditional gamelan musical instruments. This year, the Semara Ratih Gamelan Troupe of Ubud with three art troupes from other regions will make performance in three European countries namely the Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey to take part in the International Gamelan Festival representing Indonesia. Anak Agung Anom Putera,

Chairman of the Semara Ratih Gamelan Troupe when had audience with the Regent of Gianyar at the regent’s residential house, last Thursday (Sep 2), said the festival was held for 23 days on September 2-25, 2010. Meanwhile, the Semara Ratih would make a show in the Netherlands (Sep 10), in Belgium (Sep 11) and ultimately in Turkey (Sep 23). “We are showing off a new innovation from Balinese gamelan composition by interpreting modern music into Balinese gamelan. In this case, to realize the composition we make collaboration with two composers namely Evan Syvoren from the United States and Ketut Cater from Bali,” said Anom Putera. According to him, the International Gamelan Festival held in Holland this year was more grandiose because it coincided with the centennial celebration of the Tropen Theater where the festival took place. “This makes us feel proud to be part of that historic event,” he said while smiling proudly. In the meantime, the regent of Gianyar who received them on the audience said as a Balinese and the number one man in Gianyar he was very proud of the achievement attained by Semara Ratih Gamelan Troupe. Such achievement progressively established Gianyar as the city of arts and it also became

Present on the occasion were the Chairman of INCCA Bali I.B. Lolec (Ida Bagus Surakusuma), Deputy Chairman Ketut Jaman, Secretary Martin, and Putu Gede Wiwien Gunawaseka and Sumadi as members. Lolec said that INCCA Bali inaugurated on September 10, 2007 was intended to become a forum for companies conducting the business in congress and convention services and other businesses dealing directly with the convention, incentive travel and exhibition business services in Bali. “INCCA Bali has vision and

mission to realize Bali as a premier tourist destination in the field of quality meeting, incentive travel, convention and exhibition in Indonesia either in national and international scale, as well as to develop and improve business in the area of tourism services, in particular the MICE management services,” he explained. Lolec said during the three-year journey of the INCCA Bali had carried out many activities in the effort to make improvement in MICE services. His party had also held a number of courses related to MICE while promoting Bali as a tourist destination in the convention, incentive travel and exhibition. “Every year Bali hosts some international events.

Tabanan Regency TABANAN Rainbow over ricefields

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

a tourism promotion, especially for Gianyar Regency in international constellation. To that end, the regent expected the Semara Ratih could make performance

maximally and bring the reputation of Bali, chiefly Gianyar that had been well known for its hospitality and culture. BTN (BTN/015)

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.

Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world. The area is located 20 minutes south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar and is a short drive to many of Bali’s attractions and beautiful beaches. This is the home of many of Bali’s world-class luxury resort hotels.

Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget Beach These beautiful beaches are several kilometers north of Kuta. Like its neighboring beaches, these offer a refuge for surfers. There are also many facilities for tourists as the result of the Kuta north expansion. Sangeh “Monkey Forest” Sangeh is the village whose northern part covers about 14 hectares of a holy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ trees with hundreds of monkey inhabitants.

Uluwatu Temple At the westernmost tip of Bukit Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine ‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples. The location is dramatic, perched on the edge of a high cliff with a picturesque sunset view. The temple was first used for worship by the 11th century holy priest, Empu Kuturan, who came to Bali to bring religious law and to form Desa Adat (traditional villages). The area where spectacular sunsets can be viewed is filled with the scent of frangipani blossoms and is also the home of friendly monkeys. Petitenget Temple Peti Tenget temple and beach is located at Banjar Batubelig, Kerobokan village kecamatan Kuta. To reach this object by motor vehicle from Denpasar, travel westwards more or less 10 km then turn south, or to the north from Kuta following Raya Seminyak Street. Peti Tenget temple was built in the 15th century and it used to be a plot of extraordinary holy (Tenget) land, bush growth and dwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demon that was trusted by Holy priest, Dang Hyang Nirartha to safeguard his holy box. The story is told that when the priest stayed at south port (now Uluwatu), a man from Kerobokan village came asking the priest for help. He wished to cultivate the plot of land without feeling fear. The priest suggested that the people build a temple dedicated to god ‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a single closed shrine (Pagedongan) for Bhuta Ijo as a place to safeguard the priest’s box (Peti). From that time on, the temple was named Peti Tenget Temple. Sadha Temple This temple, with decorative carvings, is famous for its intricacy and ingenuity. Dating from the Majapahit period, this originally was an old dynastic sanctuary (prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

split gate and a 16-meter high tower inside the temple are constructed much like ‘Candi’ in Java. The 64 stone seats, similar to megalithic ancestral shrines, commemorate warriors who died in battle. Taman Ayun Temple ‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful garden, located in the village of Mengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar. It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom, built its stately proportioned courtyards and large surrounding moat in the year 1634. Containing both the Royal family ancestral shrines and the storied MERU shrines to the major deities, Taman Ayun became the main temple for the ancient kingdom of Mengwi. BTN (BTN/*)

Sept. 24 - Oct. 7, 2010

Made Suparka:

“Balawista” Gives Positive Image in Terms of Security “Balawista” (Badan Penyelamat Wisata Tirta) was another part of Kuta beach that we could meet every day around there. Made Suparka as coordinator of Balawista for the Badung region mentioned that the attendance of Balawista was very important remembering that its duty was to provide security for visitors who came especially for swimming or other water activities.

V

iewed from the history, Suparka explained that Balawista was established in 1972 by an Australian, together with Gede Brata who at that time was served as chairman of the youth organization of Banjar Wangaya

Kaja. At that time the name was WAJA Surf Life Saving Guard and funded only by donations from local hotels. Then, in 1978, it began to be taken over by local government specifically by the tourism department. Therefore, since that time, all operating budgets were financed by them and the name was also changed into Balawista. Since 1980, he continued, Balawista had already its world organization and the name was World Life Saving (now it called the International Life Saving Federation). From there, it was decided that every two years since 1981 the organization would be hold a congress or meeting, and also games which participated by the nations who already became the members of that World Life Saving. “We hosted the first congress and game which located at Kuta beach. At that time we received the award as the Best Asian Team because we managed to collect the most points in comparison with participants from other Asian countries. It’s one of our greatest achievements,” he said proudly. The center of Balawista for Indonesia was located in Bali. Currently Balawista especially in the province of Bali could be found in several areas such as Badung, Denpasar, Gianyar, Klungkung and Karangasem. Personally Suparka hoped that Balawista established in every district of Bali remembering that almost all the districts have their

security. Besides, I would also like to underline that Balawista is not an easy job and very challenging. It can be said that apart from helping people, on the other hand we also risked our own lives,” he explained at the end of the interview. B N (BTN/Angga/Dewa)

Rector Reminds of Saintly Ethical Codes ............... (Cont. from page 14)

He reminded that, other than having an academic freedom, professor also had to have the sasana kawikon or saintly code of ethics, namely patience, respect other people’s opinions, no touchy, honest and keeping the promises. On that account, Sukarsa said the success of Runa was also the success of Warmadewa University. To motivate the birth of more professors in Warmadewa University, Chairman of Korpri Bali Welfare Foundation, IGA Oka Wisnu Murti, said the foundation set up allowances for professors aside from getting benefits from the government. Secondly, the foundation set up scholarships worth IDR 100 million per year for lecturers that would continue their study to doctoral program. Thus, he targeted that Warmadewa University could give birth to a professor each year. Even, he considered that Runa was a scarce professor in the scientific field of Faculty of Engineering. Coordinator of Private Higher Education (Kopertis) of Region VIII, Prof. Baharuddin was proud that Kopertis added one more professor. He expected the lecturers of Warmadewa University could take advantage of 800 scholarship quotas for doctoral program each year. Unfortunately, only 3-4 lecturers of Kopertis VIII taking advantage of the offer. They found difficulty in the matter of foreign language, competition and family problems. BTN

Community-Based Tourism (2)

Com1-742

herever you go on Bali, you will hear people discussing about Community-Based Tourism (CBT). To get a survey of the impact of CBT sofar, I visited villages all over Bali and found indeed that CBT is ‘the talk of town’. Bali comprises of many villages, and these villages have in mind to develop CBT, although generally speaking they don’t really understand about CBT and surely not how to develop it. They just expect that CBT will bring welfare to the villages. In their ambition they are looking at Ubud that in the past has developed from a small rural village into the center of art, culture and spirituality of today. And nowadays Ubud is inviting many international tourists for tasting art, culture and spirituality as an eyeand mind-opener in their life. What the villages mostly overlook is that Ubud is a unique case, which can not easily be copied to be introduced in their own place. CBT is a general concept that has to be adapted to the specific circumstances of each village. In some way it does remind me of the Gold-Rush in the USA in the fifties of the 19th century, when so many people tried their luck by trekking to the West, where they would dig up from the rivers so much gold that they wouldn’t worry anymore for the rest of their life. Of course some adventurers were lucky by finding gold, but most didn’t dig up any gold and realized too late that the Gold-Rush was just a fata

morgana. Their dreams spoilt they had not the energy anymore to restart their life. The ambition to start CBT all over Bali is more or less comparable with the Gold-Rush of old times. People in or outside the villages are starting CBT without proper analysis and preparations. Home stay is established with a small number of rooms and the villagers have high expectations of international tourists, who will stay overnight and experience rural life (the life of the farmer) and attend dance and gamelan performances. However, the moment international tourists do not show up, the euphoria of the beginning drops down and feelings of apathy and frustration emerge. That’s what happens today. Overseeing the outcry for CBT I have mixed feelings. On one hand I know that CBT is basically okay in this respect that it is inextricably linked to tourism and as such can be profitable to enhance the welfare of the people of Bali. On the other hand I am aware that the explosion of initiatives by villages to start right away with CBT is doing more harm than good. And just as with the adventurers of the Gold-Rush in the USA who started enthusiastically, but became disillusioned, it will be difficult for villages to make a restart after their spontaneous plan to develop CBT has failed. The only logical conclusion from this dilemma will be to mark time instead of pushing new initiatives

LOLEC Column

which only leads to frustration. In the meantime one should not stop the initiatives that have already star ted and are running as expected, but unfortunately that is more exception than rule. The first priority to develop CBT successfully will be to study and discuss the results of applied research before deciding about the road-map to CBT. Recently, some interesting researches have been published about the feasibility of CBT on Bali. These researches are conducted in rural villages (Bedulu, Mas and Pinge) by researchers of NHTV, Breda, The Netherlands. It is beyond the reach of this article to go into detail, but the headlines of these researches are interesting and can not be ignored. Two basic conditions have to be considered before ever starting CBT, namely the linkage of CBT to the Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy and the meaning of the concept of CBT. As long as people, who are involved, have just a vague idea about these two basic conditions, you better forget about CBT. CBT has to be based on the THK. Nearly all villages on Bali are desa adat, what means that the people in the village are living according to customary law and respect the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. Whatever the people in the village will undertake, the activities have to be in line with THK. In a meeting to discuss the feasibility of CBT in Pinge, a village in the heart of Bali, the community leader stressed the point that everyone

involved has to maintain the vision of Tri Hita Karana. By referring to the Tri Hita Karana the village chief expressed his desire for sustainable development of CBT in his village and all members of that meeting agreed completely with this statement. I am sure that the village chief of Pinge can be seen as the mouthpiece of all villages on Bali. The confession to the values of THK can be seen as the origin of daily life in the village and new activities such as CBT have to be in line with THK. By taking sufficient time for discussion about the impact of THK on CBT many problems during the process of CBT can be prevented. I realize that this kind of discussion is not easy, but has to be done to prevent frustration. The confession to THK means for example that sacred places in the village will never be desecrated by tourists, nor that the community will be upset by improper behavior of tourists or that the environment will be polluted. These are negative aspects that will be discussed beforehand, so there will be no frustration afterwards. It will also be in line with THK that CBT will be to the benefit of all villagers and not just the happy few. Otherwise this would endanger the solidarity in the community life and would bring daily life out of balance. It is impossible to discuss beforehand all potential excesses. Crucial however is the statement by all stakeholders that CBT can

only be developed in line with the philosophy of THK and that they are willing to discuss all problems on the way to CBT against the background of THK. It is a conditio sine qua non or in other words a condition that can not be disputed. Villages will claim this condition as a guarantee that their authenticity will not be endangered by innovation. CBT together with the development of Bali Green Province are the political topics that will attract many international tourists to Bali. Made Mangku Pastika, Bali Governor, recently wrote in the preface of the roadmap towards Bali Green Province: “This program aims to create a regional environment of Bali that is clean, healthy, comfortable, sustainable and beautiful in accordance with the values of the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana”. I have no doubt that this Governor is willing to underline the same statement in the preface of a roadmap to CBT on Bali. On the short term this roadmap to CBT on Bali can be made, supported by recent research. Just as in the case of Bali Green Province the initiative has to be taken by the provincial government. A special taskforce is needed consisting of stakeholders. First of all they have to agree about the concept of CBT, because not everyone has the same opinion. But I will reflect on that in the next edition of BTN. BTN * ) Prof. Dr. Jan Hendrik Peters, Director of International Centre of Service studies Bali

From The Editor Celebrating the World Tourism Day

W

orld Tourism Day is commemorated on September 27 each year by appropriate events on themes selected by the General Assembly based on the recommendation of the Executive Council of UNWTO. This date was chosen to coincide with an important milestone in world of tourism: the anniversary of the adoption of the UNWTO Statutes on September 27, 1970. The major purpose of World Tourism Day is to foster awareness among the international community on the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic values. As a world tourist destination, Bali has been accordingly to commemorate the World Tourism Day. Then, what is being done by stakeholders of tourism in Bali to commemorate the day, simply come and make a visit to Bali on that historic day. Once again, Bali Travel News as the only tourism tabloid published in Bali and also as tourism stakeholder wishes you a Happy World Tourism Day! Hopefully, tourism continues to grow!

Community-based Tourism:

A New Source of Hope for Prosperity P

ie of tourism does not always taste sweet. Those getting involved in person or indirectly may taste so. However, the remaining does not enjoy any impact of the increase of tourist visit to Bali. Probably, it is actually a matter of imbalance on development policy. By and large, development in general is ideally intended to improve people’s prosperity. Its proceedings should be distributed and could be enjoyed evenly. Otherwise, the imbalance can trigger social envy. If unresolved immediately, this may turn into a protracted problem. It is not surprising if

community then proposed the removal of Denpasar City and the airport to other region in order the new region could also drive a better economic growth. Meanwhile, another protested that its region was just used as stopover of cruise passenger. After landing, guests spent holidays or had excursion to other neighboring destination. It is considered, the region was merely taken advantage for ‘urinating’ and guests spent not a single penny. Various attempts have indeed been undertaken by local government to gradually diminish such imbalance. One of them is by launching tourism village in regencies. By this initiative, guests are driven to explore local village to know more about their uniqueness. They were expected to not only have a sightseeing tour but also take advantage of local accommodation facilities. The program denotes one of the community involvements in tourism or better known as community-based tourism. Additionally, guests will have more convenient times to explore the splendor of the village and get in closer touch with the local community. This will enable local people to provide everything required by guests during their stay at the village. They are starting from unique tradition, beauty of nature, challenging adventure to delicious and country-style culinary. Of course, these would enrich their personal experience as one of the objectives of traveling. Simantri or integrated farming system initiated by Governor Pastika is another program that is also expected to empty out into agricultural-based tourism. Basically, it is commenced by empowering farmers through the implementation of eco-friendly facilities of rice productions. At the end, it also wants to achieve prosperity, quality health and better environment. Last but not least, government should also map the great potential retained by each region and make a policy in such a way that each region is included in particular tour package. Basically each region has unique and attractive potentials like arts, livelihood, tools, tourist destinations, customs and other treasures. Besides, government can lead new investment to less developed regions and establish interregency cooperation in distributing job opportunities. In reality, there are some regencies undergoing rapid growth in the handicraft industry and informal sector enterprises, while others have abundant unemployment. Local labor force should be given priority to fill in the opportunities as they are supporters of local culture and responsible for its conservation. Bali has a great potential of pristine destination. This should be managed and preserved accordingly for its sustainability. When this can be achieved, people will have more job opportunities without leaving agriculture or other previous job. Conversely, tourists will have a wide choice of destination and attraction to visit. Hopefully, such development could be supported by all components of the community, so the ‘social envy’ could be gradually diminished without moving the ‘existing infrastructure’ but discovering each local potential and how to get a share of the opportunities.

Change the Weakness into Challenge Ketut Swabawa, Resident Manager of Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort & Spa is typical of person who does not easily give up. He comes from a family background with less support of the economy to sustain his big dream. But with strong will and persistent struggle, so that he can be like now. He also a unique Resident Manager due to his educational background which is not derived from the fields of tourism, but an STM graduated. This, of course, is very rare.

H

e entered the tourism industry when he worked as a daily worker technician at Ramada Bintang Bali Hotel in 1994. In that time he began to think that apparently working at the hotel was very nice and pleasant which eventually became the obsession of his own. Although later in the year 1995 he forced to leave the hotel due to the crisis and moved to PT. Canning Indonesia Product, but because of his obsession that still wanted to work in a hotel, then only three years later he got that chance again. It was noted that several hotels used his services such as The Ahimsa Villa, Alu Bali Villa and Sol Lovina Villas & Spa Resort, where in 2001 he had become a Chief Engineer at the hotel. “In Sol Lovina I started to learn by autodidact. My learning process on this stage is quite difference

compared with my colleagues, I start to looking the source of the problem and solve them by positivenegative anticipated effect, while some people wait until the instruction was given and move the problem to other part, not solved them. For me there are two important things I always emphasize to myself. Those are time and health. Time for me is everything. I will not be able to return the elapsed time, so I really appreciate it. In addition, I am also very concerned about my health because I realize when experiencing any illness, then my work will be disrupted. From this discipline, so finally in the year 2003 I was appointed as Resident Manager at the hotel,” said the man who was born on May 30, 1976. From Sol Lovina Villas & Spa Resort, he then tried to find new challenges by moving to Komaneka

Ubud in 2005. There, he tried again to do something new by handling the position of Executive Housekeeper which of course was very different from his previous jobs. It did not take a long time to prove his capacity by becoming a Resort Manager of Komaneka at Monkey Forest and also Komaneka at Bisma including to set up and open its newest resort and wedding chapel. Then, when his contract expired at the Komaneka in early 2010, so accurately in April 2010 he proposed an application to Rama Hotels and Resorts Bali as Freelancer Operation Consultant and was offered to in charge as Resident Manager of Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort & Spa, a member of Rama Hotels and Resorts Bali. This very low profile manager has two hopes in his life; in financial, he expects to be able to provide a good education for his children, and in social side, he wants to make more people smart and work. All is reflecting his educate-ages experience. He has a very great time when having discussion with his friends (he always call ‘friend’ to his staff). He always reminds them that everyone is a server in the resort, from the landscaper until General Manager. As a server, we could manage ourselves to provide an honest and best quality of services. In hospitality industry, the service is a basic concept has to well establish beside of luxury and

gorgeous property or view presentation. “I admit that my career is not easy. I started everything from zero, moved the workplace from one to another and occupied different positions. Besides my education was not too high because it hit my main weakness which in that case was financial. But I didn’t give up. I changed my weakness into challenge which also ultimately helped to change my destiny to be like now. Another thing to be considered is about the opportunity. That’s why I always thankful and respect to my previous experiences. I met good

friends, owners and company those gave me chance to grow up. Now I may say that my weakness has changed into my strength because as the manager of a property or resort we have to know entire fields of our responsibility from the main gate until the back of house, from rank in file until management thinking. Luckily, I have been there before. I’m so grateful and proud with my life. I think everyone has the same opportunity, but the difference is how they maintain that opportunity. That’s the point,” he said with enthusiasm. B N
