SURAT PEMBACA

Salam Zainal, Tangerang

Selamat atas lahirnya Destinasi Indonesia, apalagi dengan format majalah gratis. Meski gratis, pem­ baca tetap boleh memberi masukan dan kritik membangun toh. Tanpa mengurangi pujian saya terhadap isi, di edisi pertama saya melihat ada beberapa halaman di daftar isi yang tidak sesuai. Selain itu, kalau boleh usul, bisakah daftar isi dibuat tidak miring? Meski bagus, menurut saya kurang praktis, karena saya jadi harus memiringkan majalah. Salam sukses, merdeka!

MENARIK melihat free magazine yang membahas pariwisata Indonesia. Saya juga tertarik mencoba Aurecmedia seperti yang diiklan­kan, tapi beberapa kali gagal.

Setelah mencoba ketiga kalinya baru berhasil, itu pun loading-nya cukup lama. Mungkin bisa diper­ baiki sistemnya, karena menurut saya ini terobosan menarik.

Nungky Tanah Mas, Semarang

Jawaban Redaksi: Kami senang mendapat pertanyaan seputar Aurecmedia yang belum banyak dikenal orang. Fasilitas Aurecmedia pada dasarnya sangat tergantung pada koneksi internet.

Kelancaran, kecepatan loading, sangat dipengaruhi lokasi dan operator telepon seluler yang digunakan. Ketika dicoba di tempat lain, bisa jadi loading-nya hanya memerlukan waktu beberapa detik.

Jawaban Redaksi: Terimakasih atas pujian dan masuk­annya. Begitu terbit, kami langsung melakukan evaluasi dan hasilnya antara lain sama dengan yang dikemukakan. Kami mohon maaf atas kesalahan halaman di daftar isi. Untuk lay out, kami langsung benahi di edisi kedua ini.

Salam merdeka!

5 Selasar Destinasi Indonesia | Oktober 2013

P

ERJALANAN wisata dan fotografi seperti candu. Beberapa kontributor di edisi kedua Destinasi Indonesia sudah merasakan candu dari dua kata itu. Mereka mengaku addict. Berkali-kali datang, berkali-kali pula terpesona. Menggebu ingin memperkenalkan daerah wisata yang sudah dikunjungi dan beberapa di antaranya sudah seperti rumah kedua, tempat di mana mereka memulihkan dan mengisi spirit.

Di edisi kedua, Destinasi Indonesia menulis tentang potensi pariwisata Banten dan sebagian kecil Nusa Tenggara Timur. Di Banten, Suku Baduy menjadi laporan utama. Berkisah tentang masyarakat yang masih kuat memegang adat, meski hanya dipisahkan ’sejeng­kal’ jarak gempuran modernisasi. Mereka melaksanakan dengan sungguh-sungguh tugas yang mereka percaya diberikan oleh Sang pencipta untuk menjaga harmonisasi bumi.

Edisi kedua juga menampilkan Taman Wisata Ujung Kulon dan Labuan Bajo yang baru saja menjadi tuan rumah Sail Komodo. Kisah dan panduan untuk mendatangi tempat-tempat tersebut, semoga bisa menumbuhkan kebanggan dan minat menjelajahi negeri.

Pepatah lama menyebutkan, tak kenal, maka tak sayang.

Buda­ya­wan, pianis, dan pengusaha Jaya Suprana, merasa penting mengenalkan kekayaan Indonesia agar bisa menjadi obat bagi bangsa yang katanya masih sakit. Menjadi obat bagi masyarakat yang masih merasa lebih bergengsi jika bisa berlibur ke luar negeri.

Terlepas dari itu, selamat membaca edisi kedua Destinasi Indonesia. Mari bergerak! Seperti dikatakan penyair Sufi Jalalud­din Rumi, Travel brings power and love back into your life.

The Real Dragon in the World

B

ANYAK tempat wisata yang menawarkan fasilitas lengkap. Namun tidak banyak yang menuliskan kawasan pedalaman di dalam daftar destinasi. Salah satunya adalah Baduy, yang terletak di Desa Kanekes, Kecamatan Leuwidamar, Kabupaten Lebak, Provinsi Banten.

Sekuat apa magnet yang dimiliki Baduy? Mengapa tempat ini patut dikunjungi?

Baduy yang juga dikenal dengan nama Kanekes, sudah ada sejak berabad-abad lampau. Mereka menghuni kawasan pegunungan Kendeng dan percaya bahwa mereka diutus Sang Pencipta untuk menjaga panceur bumi (jantung alam) agar tetap lestari. Di tempat terpencil itu, kehidupan berjalan harmonis dengan alam. Hubungan antarsesama dan Sang Pencipta tak kalah indah.

Atmosfer berbeda langsung terasa saat kaki menjejak bumi Baduy. Suasana sunyi dan damai langsung menyergap, sarat energi positif. Oksigen melimpah ruah, rimbun pepohonan menebarkan zat asam, sungai mengalirkan air jernih tanpa bahan kimia. Harum asap tungku menyeruak dari atap-atap rumah berbahan rumbia (kiray).

Secara garis besar masyarakat Baduy terbagi menjadi dua. Pertama dikenal dengan sebutan kelompok Urang Panamping (Baduy Luar), kedua disebut Urang Tangtu yang menghuni tiga kampung di Baduy Dalam, yaitu Cibeo, Cikartawana dan Cikeusik (Tangtu Tilu).

Urang Panamping sudah mendapat kelonggaran, seperti pembangunan rumah sudah boleh memakai alat bantu seperti paku. Ponsel, pakaian buatan pabrik, piranti dapur modern juga sudah menjadi pemandangan biasa.

Sedangkan di Baduy Dalam, tradisi masih sangat terjaga. Mereka hanya memanfaatkan bahan yang terdapat di alam. Ketetapan adat (pikukuh) menjadi falsafah hidup dan masih dipegang teguh. Bagi mereka, adat adalah segalanya.

Masyarakat Baduy Dalam masih memasak dengan kayu bakar di tungku (hawu). Penerangan memakai lampu yang terbuat dari bambu, batu konyal dan bahan bakar dari minyak kelapa (totok). Minum pun masih menggunakan gelas dari ruas bambu (somong). Mandi dan mencuci tanpa sabun, berjalan telanjang kaki, dan tidak boleh merokok. Binatang yang boleh dipelihara hanya ayam, kucing dan anjing.

NAMA dragon diberikan saat komodo ditemukan pertama kali di Pulau komodo sekitar 1910. Saat itu, para pelaut Belanda berkali­kali melihat binatang raksasa yang oleh penduduk setempat sering disebut naga.

Letnan Steyn van Hensbroek, pe­ jabat Administrasi Kolonial Belanda mendengar laporan tersebut dan kemudian melakukan ekspedisi. Dia menangkap hewan yang disebut naga tersebut, dibawa ke Belanda untuk diteliti. Meski kemudian diketahui bahwa komodo ini sejenis kadal purba raksasa, namun nama komodo dragon tetap digunakan.

Saat ini di Pulau Komodo ada sekitar 2.853 komodo. Jika ditambah dengan habitat yang hidup di Pulau Rinca dan Gili Montang, jumlahnya sekitar 5.000 ekor. Taman Nasional Komodo merupakan tempat perlindungan dan penangkaran komodo, hewan khas Indonesia. Pulau Komodo juga men­ jadi salah satu spot diving terbaik di Nusa Tenggara Timur. Ada sekitar 385 spesies karang, 70 jenis bunga ka­ rang, ribuan spesies ikan, penyu hijau, 6 jenis paus, 10 jenis lumba­lumba, berbagai jenis hiu, dll.

aat mengunjungi Kota Bandung, sempatkan waktu menyusuri kawasan pedestrian di Jalan Braga. selain bisa memuaskan mata karena keindahan arsitektur bangunan tua peninggalan Belanda, Braga juga menyuguhkan beragam wisata belanja serta kuliner.

Disalah satu bahu jalan, tepatnya di sebuah bekas bangunan tua yang konon angker lantaran bertahuntahun terbengkalai tanpa penghuni, terpampang tulisan Zombie Cafe. sesuai dengan namanya, cafe yang baru mulai beroperasi September 2013 ini menyuguhkan aneka makanan khas Western, Mexican dan Italian dalam suasana horor.

Suasana horor sudah mulai terbangun begitu tamu tiba di pintu masuk. tepat di atas gerbang, terdapat tulisan “You Dare, You Come In”. Begitu melangkahkan kaki ke dalam, sesosok boneka zombie dalam kondisi berdarah-darah berdiri dekat pintu masuk Zombie Land. andri Irawan, General Manager Zombie Cafe menjelaskan, “Zombie Land itu semacam wahana rumah hantu. Bagi pengunjung yang punya nyali bisa masuk gratis sambil menunggu makanan dan minuman yang dipesan datang,” tuturnya.

teras dan beberapa pendopo.

Beberapa nama unik digunakan di dalam menu, nuansanya masih berbau horor. Untuk makanan pembuka misalnya, ada Zombie Quesadila. terbuat dari adonan tepung tortilla chip, dipanggang lengkap dengan keju feta, potongan ayam dan taburan saus alpukat. Rasanya gurih dan sedikit pedas. ada juga Cheesy Nachos Soul Crusher, terbuat dari tepung jagung goreng ala Mexico yang disajikan dengan buah zaitun, tomat salsa, keju dan jalapeno.

Sebagai makanan utama, pengunjung bisa memilih aneka steak, pasta maupun pizza. ada juga hidangan khas nusantara seperti bebek goreng, nasi goreng kambing juga sop buntut yang bisa disajikan dalam 3 pilihan : bakar, goreng atau kuah. “Yang pasti semua makanannya enak dan harganya juga terjangkau,” jelas andri.

Puas menikmati hidangan utama, semangkuk Fresh Mango Soup bisa dijadikan penutup. atau bisa juga memilih Crème Brulee Dark Halloween Horror, sejenis krim panggang klasik yang manis dan lembut. Untuk minuman, pengunjung bisa memesan Zombie in Wonderland, paduan jus nanas dan jeruk yang disajikan dengan grenadine sirup dan cream yang terasa begitu segar.

Zaman sekarang, sajian makanan enak saja belum tentu cukup. Butuh sensasi yang berbeda saat menyantapnya. Perpaduan dua hal itulah yang berusaha disuguhkan Zombie Cafe.

Zombie Land Di dalam Zombie Land, cahaya lampu tampak temaram. aneka boneka seram penuh luka dan darah terlihat di sepanjang jalur tersebut.

Suasana makin dengan adanya suara-suara perempuan tertawa, jeritan, dan nyanyian sinden diiringi gamelan. Beberapa bagian lantai ada yang dibuat khusus untuk mengagetkan. Bila salah injak misalnya, tiba-tiba akan muncul sesosok zombie yang siap memeluk dari belakang.

Puas menguji nyali, pegunjung bisa bersantai di bagian dalam cafe yang relatif nyaman dan tidak terlalu menyeramkan. Hanya di bagian tertentu saja ada ornamen-ornamen berbau zombie dan beberapa foto lama yang menunjukan penampakan gedung sebelum digunakan sebagai cafe. Interior cafe dipecah dalam beberapa bagian, ada bar, ruang dalam,

any tourist sites offered full facili­ ties. But not too many put inland region on their destination list. One among those is Baduy, located in the Village of Kanekes, Leuwidamar Sub-district, Lebak Regency, the Province of Banten. How attractive is Baduy? Why this place worth visited?

Baduy which existed for centuries is also known as Kanekes. They reside in the mountain range of Ken­ deng. They believe that the Creator send them forth to guard the “Panceur Bumi” (Heart of the Nature) in order to keep it preserved. In this remote area, life runs harmoniously with the nature. The relationship between men and most of all with their creator is so beautiful. You can feel the different atmosphere instantly as you step in the land of Baduy. Quiet, peaceful and full of positive energy. Filled abundantly with air, clusters of trees spread the oxygen, unpol­ luted clear water flows in the river. You can smell the smoke coming out of the hearth rising through the tasselly roof (kiray).

The Baduy is divided into two main groups, Urang Panamping (Outer Baduy) and Urang Tangtu (In­ ner Baduy) which resides in three villages namely, Cibeo, Cikartawana dan Cikeusik (Tangtu Tilu).

Customary law allows the Urang Panampings to build houses with tools, using hand phones, and manufactured clothing. Even modern household ap­ pliances are very common among them. Meanwhile the Urang Tangtu still kept the tradition well. They utilize all the material in the nature. The provision of custom (pikukuh) becomes their philosophy of life that they still hold strongly. For the inner Baduy tradi­ tion is everything.

The people of Inner Baduy cooked their food on a hearth with firewoods (hawu). They make light out of bamboo, konyal stone with coconut oil (totok). To drink they use bamboo (somong) as the cup. They bathe and wash without soap, walk barefooted and not allowed to smoke. The animals they can raise are only chickens, cats and dogs.

Arsitektur The architecture of a house (imah) in Tangtu (inner Baduy) is a stage style. Every house faces the north and south, except the customary elders (Puun) houses that face the east. The house and rice barns are made of wood and bamboo. They are joined with a wooden wedge and fastened with a rope made of tree skin. The building of the house must follow the contour of the land.

In principal, they are not allowed to change anything that is already exist This regulation is also applied to their agricultural system. Huma is a field to reserve water from the rain.

They used tugal, a piece of wood with a sharp tip, to plant rice. During planting season, they work together to plant rice in the field. The men making holes using tugal, the women sow the seeds. The customary law does not allow the Baduy to hoe the land, or use irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide.

Pelah is made of rattan leaf fiber. It takes six months to process the yarn. Now there are only few pelah weaver left in Cikeusik Village.

Plaited bracelet made of handam tree is also liked. Other than plaited bracelets there are also koja and jarog, plaited bags made of teureup and kasungka tree. Men usually wear koja meanwhile women wear jarog.

Duck meat lo­ vers must try this.

Haji Sjamsuddin, the owner, started the business in 1974. Now he owns two outlets.

The tender odor­ less duck meat taste so distinct. Other than sate bebek there are other dishes on the menu such as, duck soup and fried duck stew. A portion of sate is Rp17.000 and a portion of soup is Rp14.000.

What is the secret recipe to the tender odor­ less meat? “The secret is the skill of selecting the best duck base on the age. Choose the middle-aged ones, so you can get a chewy duck meat. The meat of a young duck is too soft whereas the old one is too hard,” said Haji Sjamsuddin laughing.

Other than the three dishes above, Banten, especially Serang is also famous for Nasi Sumsum (rice marrow). Rice filled with buffalo marrow, wrapped in banana leaf then grilled.

Nasi sumsum is only available at night in the street vendor’s eatery, located near city plaza.

Family Vacation

Spend the Holiday Camping

By: Sulha Handayani

BATU TAPAK

Is it possible to bring a five year old kid and a 70 year old parent on a camping trip. I have proven that camping is for all ages.

T

O spend the holi­ day with camping is something I doubted. But when I browse the internet and did a little survey, the desire burn out.

There are some interest­ ing location to visit, those are Rakata Tanakita in Cisaat Sukabumi, Matahari in Puncak, Happyland, Batutulis, Bogor, Bravo Camp in Sukabumi, And also Batu Tapak in Ci­ dahu Village, Sukabumi.

When you are at Rakata Tanakitai you will feel like stay­ ing at a five star hotel because

of its facilities. Meanwhile in Batu Tapak with a limited and simple equipment, you will get an ordinary camping sensa­ tion. Both places have plus and minuses. Rakata Tanaki­ tai and Batu Tapak are two interesting places to visit but considering our goal and bud­ get on this vacation we picked Batu Tapak as our destination.

In Batu Tapak we have the op­ portunity to teach the children to cook, bathe in the river and eat on top of a big rock.

Children will get a different experience; they learn to be in­ dependent and to get to know

nature at the same time.

The topography of the camping site in Batu Tapak has contour and is decorated with large natural rocks. The 2,5 hectare camping site is di­ vided into three areas, the flat­ land on the hill, in the middle by the river and waterfall, or below near the cafeteria.

Batu Tapak has a beauti­ ful panoramic view, with a backdrop of Mount Gede and Pangrango.

Direction of view reached 180 degrees, including the green valley of resin forest.

You can also enjoy the city of Cicurug and the surrounding villages. The twinkling lights of Cisarua Puncak make the evening at the camping site merrier.

To Camp with Toddlers Is it possible to bring tod­ dlers on a camping trip? Don’t worry! Our family took Vava our kindergartener and our two year old twins Kirana and Kinara. I even brought a long my 70 year old mother who is still active. The manager of Batu Tapak, Yulius Fanumbi, his wife and the staff member are so dexterous in assisting the guests that bring tod­ dlers and seniors. Batu Tapak is designed for beginners, equiped with a little mosque, bathroom and simple menu cafeteria. If you want to prepare your own food, cook­ ing appliance are available.

The management provides from stove to all sizes of pots

depending on the number of people. Lights, mattresses up to special treatments are also available for those who want to sleep comfortably in a tent.

Although most of your needs are provided but you can still feel the natural camp­ ing atmosphere. The manage­ ment rented some simple tools in order not to spoil the self-reliant nuance in the nature.

In Batu Tapak you can build a stronger family relation­ ship. In the past three years, I have camp seven times at this place. Six times with the whole family and one time joining the company’s out bond.

Access

Visitors can usually do these activities such as, playing in the water, bathing in the river, trek­ king, and cliff climbing. Other than those activities, Batu Tapak also provides activities like, paintball, flying fox, two-line Bridge, spider web and many more. The man­ agement will also provide activi­ ties that is requested by compa­ nies which are having out bond there.

Having been camping in Batu Tapak many times did not bore the children. They always enjoy playing at the rice paddy pathway while walking towards the loca­ tion of the waterfall. The children can see the buffalo plough the rice fields and learn various kinds of plants. Cooking is the activ­ ity they cannot wait to have. We brought our own raw materials.

We keep them at the cafeteria.

Weekend Without the Mall Weekend without the Mall is not an antimall movement! It is just an encouragement to people and families to spend the holiday with a more creative and educative way by recognizing the neighborhood and the city we live in.

W

eekend is the best time of the week for those who live in a big city like Jakarta.

To relax with friends or family on the weekend is a solution to release the weariness after five days of work. The main targets are usually malls, plazas, atriums, squares and the onestop-service structures.

People neglect tourism that values

education and other positive val­ ues because of lack of information, hidden access and other barriers.

“From that point Wiken Tanpa ke Mall (Weekend Without the Mall) or usually called WTM come into be­ ing,” said Opang, who was elected Public Relation. WTM used to be a community before it develops into a movement.

Wiken Tanpa ke Mall was born out of a chit-chat of a group of young

people and young families in August 2008. In the chat came out the long­ ing of visiting alternative, educative, creative but fun tourism places.

The purpose was to enhance the concern on the environment.

“Our main goal is to offer alterna­ tive ideas in enjoying a quality week­ end with the family or friends, to invite the people to have a creative, educative and fun weekend and to be acquainted with the environment and the city they live in,” explained Opang.

From there, various kinds of simple but fun activities came into being. Unfortunately, because of the organizer’s activities WTM temporarily stopped organizing

Ragunan is WTM’s initial pro­ gram. In Ragunan WTM invited its members to enjoy the weekend by playing the scout’s games such as to follow the trace. Members are divided into several groups.

Each group will trace the route set by the organizer. After a certain distant, the group will stop at the play stations such as, Ular Tangga station, playing with the snakes station guided by SIOUX, The Study on Snake Institute, tradi­ sional games station and the last station is trashcan painting.

Acik in Cikini What can you do in Cikini? WTM invites you to enjoy the weekend by exploring the historical track in Cikini. We start from Gedug Joang ’45 – Cikini Post Office – Tan Ek Tjoan Bakery – Maisson Benny Bakery, and the Planetarium to experience science together.

Fun to Play with Ceramic This activity takes place at the Museum of Art and Ceramic. Other than exploring the museum’s collection, members are invited to make ceramics guided by Nia Gautama, the Indonesian potter with International reputa­ tion.

activities since 2012. “But we still actively invite people to fill up their weekend with inventive activities,” explained Opang. He also gives some achieved WTM program as an example that will inspire people.

Other activities can be attrac­ tively presented while exploring the surrounding neighborhood.

WTM expects the movement keep on inspiring the forming of other communities that produce creative ideas on weekend WIKEN TANPA KE MALL Email : wikentanpakemall@gmail.com Facebook: Wiken Tanpa Ke Mall | Twitter : Wikentanpamall

To Reap Poems at Botanical Garden Light dialog with Sapardi Djoko Damo­ no at Bogor Botanical Garden. Picnic while discussing, reading and making poetry with one of Indone­ sia’s best poet, Sa­ pardi Djoko Damono.

“Although there are some members who have no idea on poetry, but at the end of the event there are hundreds of poems written by the members and organizers published in a form of a book titled: Ternyata Puisi itu Asyik (Obviously Poetry is Fun)!

activities in Jakarta and other big cities. WTM is not an anti mall movement. “We want to encourage people not to give up with one idea just to fill up the weekend by going to the mall. If we want to look further, there still lots of places in Jakarta that can be explored and creative activities that can be done with family and friends. Let us spend the week­ end without going to the mall.

We believe in a healthy weekend there is a strong weekdays!”

This Nation Needs Remedy!

N

O doubt, Indonesia is extraordinary rich. It has 400 volcanoes, more than one thousand ethnic groups, arts, cultures, dozens of national parks, and six of them is in UNESCO World Heritage Site’s list.

Unfortunately, many of the nation do not aware and appreciate the richness of their own country.

Let alone, promoting it to the international world, they sometimes are reluctant just to see and experience it for themselves. Traveling over­ seas is more interesting and prestigious.

Jaya Suprana the founder of Jamu Jago puts this condition forward. So what needs to be done?

Destinasi Indonesia tries to dig into his think­ ing, the man who is known as a pianist, writer, humanist and television host. Below is part of the interview.

What do you think about Indonesian Tourism?

Natural and cultural tourism of Indonesia is the best. Imagine, this country has dozens of national parks and cultural heritages that are ac­ knowledged and protected by the world. People put a lot of effort just to see Borobudur Temple.

While Indonesians like to go to countries that does not even own cultural heritage. They do not go there just to travel. They even go there to die.

They are so proud to die at one of the hospitals abroad, very proud. It says in the newspaper in big letters: Rest in Peace our beloved father in the neighboring country.

This nation is sick.

What should be done?

Firstly, the national pride has to be resurrected.

The nation has to learn to respect its own work, not respecting other nation’s work. It seems any­ thing that comes from abroad is the best. The na­ tion needs to be healed starting from the young generations which are easier to embrace.

What kind of action?

One of the acton is to introduce the culture and achievement of the nation. That is our purpose of establishing Jamu Jago and MURI Museum in Semarang and our target are young generations and schoolchildren. At Jamu Jago Museum, the young generations can learn about the history of

Will WOIP that you lead contribute?

Of course. Not long ago Wayang Orang Indonesia Pusaka (WOIP) present a performance titled Arjuna Galau. The performance is presented for the young generations of Indonesia, so they are familiar with the nation’s art tradition and at the end the national pride will grow. WOIP has performed overseas several times.

In which country WOIP has ever performed and what are the purposes?

In 2010, WOIP performed at Sydney Opera House, Australia. More than 2000 people welcomed us enthusiastically. Then in 2012,

WOIP performed in one of the cultural event at UNESCO quarter in Paris, France. At that time, delegates from 160 countries in the world watched us. From the performance, foreigners will know about Indonesian culture. They may also know the greatness of our culture and will be more interested in visiting Indonesia.

What do you hope for Indonesian Tourism?

My highest expectation is the people to appreciate their own art and culture because the two are worth appreciated. As we take ac­ count on our art and culture the national pride will emerge, then domestic tourism can be the primary choice.

I do not want to be too pompous in having vision and mission on improving the local tour­ ism. To me, action is more important than vi­ sion and mission. For that purpose, I will keep on developing the Jamu and MURI Museum to help grow the national pride within the young generations. Moreover, I will keep on perform­ ing wayang orang in countries around the world so that other nations will be interested in coming to Indonesia. Prayed that in the near future I will be on the trip to perform in Rusia.

jamu, to see the plants, blends of ingredients, and to try the jamu while listening to gamelan.

Then they can continue the visit to MURI Museum located in the same area.

There you can see the records made by the people through photos and slides. This year we will also operate MURI Gallery at Mall of Indonesia, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta. At the gallery, the young generations can see how incredible this nation is, that way the seeds of the national pride will grow.

Lodging Trend Among Y Generation

W

HAT does the hospitality industry need to learn in capturing the explosion of the Y Generation or known as the Millennium Generation? This genera足 tion starts to dominate the travel activities of the previous generation. Here are some facts revealed by hotelinteractive.com.

Horizon Photo: Destinasi Indonesia/Fahdi Wijaya Sudjana Destinasi Indonesia | Oktober 2013

54

Siapakah Generasi Y?

Generasi Y adalah generasi yang lahir antara 1980 hingga 1999. Sebagian dari mere足 ka masih bergantung pada orangtua, namun generasi awal sudah mulai mandiri dan mencapai kemapanan.

The American Express Survey

The American Express Survey shows the traveling and shopping expenditure increase in this generation.

Some of the Y Generation has reached the peak of their carrier and became the decider of million or even billions of dollars. The move足 ment of this generation is estimated to reach its peak in 2017.

The Y Generation has a habit of digging information through the web, search engine, and review sites such as TripAdvisor. They will look for new information, before they decide where to and where at to lodge. Hotel, resort and other types of lodging that does not follow the technology trend will be left behind and omitted. To control content, there is no other way; hotels have to provide comprehensive information and mate­ rial, to avoid bad review. Comprehensive and valid information with experience and user’s testimony of this generation will help to counter damaging issues.

Velocity and Efficiency The Y Genertion Trend heads to veloc­ ity and efficiency of service. That is why they like the concept of chain hotel such as Aloft and Yotel. There is a habit shift­ ing from the previous generation that prioritizes service and interactions with the hotel staff. This generation believes that talking to the concierge is just a waste of time when information can be acquired through smartphone. Technolo­ gy is the key comfort to this generation.

Social Media Domination Social Media like twitter, facebook, instagram, dominate the life Y Genera­ tion. They demand fast and real time information through social media. They expect the same way from the hospi­ tality industry. The Y Generation likes to share information, activities, and

Review The Y Generation or so-called Millen­ nium Generation is always bombarded with advertisement. However, they are too sophisticated to swallow every ad­ vertisement they see. They will look for friends to get reviews or the best com­ mentary on what they are looking for.

Again, they will do it through technology and social media.

Social Creature Millennium Generations are social creatures, online and offline. Although there are assumptions that this gen­ eration is lack of interactions. In reality they are connected to hundreds or even thousands of friends in a different way as to the previous generation. Messag­ es on Facebook , GChatting, WhatsApp, and others create bond among Y Gen­ erations. They are social creatures that love to interact and share experiences, locations and many more.

Love to Travel Millennium Generation loves to travel with friends. They like to interact directly with each, if that is not possible they will make use of the laptop or smart­ phone while relaxing at public places such as lobby, hotel, café and others.

Business Travel The same trend happens among Mil­

lennium Generations that travel for busi­ ness trip. The previous generation loves to get working facilities in the room; meanwhile Generation Y prefers to take advantage of the third room where it is possible for them to interact. Therefore, came forth the phenomenon of coffee shops and of the same type. Millennium Generation values teamwork and feed­ backs. The survey shows 36% of them prefer to work at an open veranda.

Authentic Experience The Y Generation refuses to travel only visiting one place to another. They demand integration between culture and authentic local experience. Re­ search shows 78% of them choose to learn something new when traveling.

Meanwhile 70% of them expect certain places that offer interactive experience.

Social Responsibility There is an important phenomenon in a journey for the Millennium Generation, that is to promote social responsibility.

They are not there just to see new sites and enjoy local experiences, but expect to give contribution. They believe, under­ go, and again love to share experiences and opinions through the social media.

Conclusion Millennium Generation will keep on growing. Therefore, the hospitality industry needs to un­ derstand and adapt to their point of view. They are not afraid to take advantage of the technol­ ogy. There is an anecdote that represents their being that is: “We don’t wait for you to greet us with open hands, but we wait for free wifi!”

Technology Trend

opinions through social media. Hospi­ tality industry has to follow the trend.

There are several hotels that published their success by updating through the instagram namely Morgan Hotel Group, Thompson Hotel, Four Seasons Los Angeles, and Gansevoort hotel. The five boutique hotels realized that a picture could take the place of thousands of words. A spectacular party by the pool can invite thousands of followers. The most recent photos can influence the Y Generation who is making decision in the last minute or second.

Director of Small Islands Productivity DG KP3K Ridho MS Batubara, inspecting the execution of Minawisata West Lombok

Raja Ampat The regional government is fully supported in Minawisata Program, namely Regional Government of Raja Ampat Islands that has issued regional policy that prohibited shark haul­ ing in Raja Ampat waters.

Sharks are now one of the mainstay attractions of diving in Raja Ampat.

Other kind of animal pro­ tection becomes tourist attraction. Sudirman mentioned the turtle conservation in Berau (East Kalimantan), Pangumbahan Beach (Sukabumi) and Jamursba Medi in Tambrauw District, West Papua that attract a lot of foreign tourist. The number of tourist ar­ rival increases each year.

West Lombok Lombok, especially West Lom­ bok District owns a number of small islands and coastal areas potentially to be in Minawisata zone. One of it is West Lombok, three gilis conservation area that they work on are, Gili Tangkong, Gili Nanggu, dan Gili Sudak.

The Minawisata Zone proclaimed

by Directorate of Small Islands Productivity DG KP3K in 2012 has shown its result. Foreign and local tourists come to witness directly the beauty of scaled turtle, cultiva­ tion of lobster, squid, and other kind of saltwater fish. The coastal area towards Gili Tangkong, Gili Nanggu, and Gili Sudak that used to be desolate and dirty is now started to tidy up. The people’s economical centers grow such as, food stalls, eatery, restaurant and traditional boat rent.

The Director of Small Islands Productivity DG KP3K, Ridho MS

59 Batubara said, after six month of development it started to give benefits to the group of managers that consist of 25 social members.

The floating fish net that they built has shown its fruitfulness, more­ over with the arrival of tourists that came to enjoy the beauty of the nature while enjoying grilled fish on top of a hexagonal pool.

On September 2012, West Lom­ bok Minawisata has gathered 450 lobster (around 100 kilograms) the same as Rp 8,5 million in value.

Contribution of earning is sig­ nificant, although visitors are not being charged yet. They can feel the multiplayer effect through this activity. Harvest, tourist arrival, and now school children come to the location to have a study tour. Other than that he people are eager to build food stalls. “I reckon, next year, this Minawisata zone will be more enhusiastic and gives benefit to the surrounding people,” said Ridho.

ONSERVATION and utilization of the natural resources is like a twosided coin that cannot be seperated.

Both need harmonization for balance implementa­ tion. For that purpose, come forth the concept of blue economy, presently is the blueprint of the Ministry of Marine and Fishery (KKP).

One realization of the blue economy was carried out by DG of Shoreline Marine and Small Islands, KKP, through Minawisata program. The program was aimed to inhabited small islands located in the border.

Basically Minawisata combines tourism investment activity in the small islands with the attempt to protect the ecosystem through conservation. “The principle is investment cannot destroy the ecosystem,” said Sudirman Saad, DG of Shoreline Marine and Small Islands (KKP).

To balance the ecosystem, KKP carry out various activities and policies. Other than Minawisata program, protecting variety of fish and rare wild marine animals in extinction such as turtle, shark, whale, dugong and dolphin. In present, KKP has determined full protection status on shark whale (Rhincodon Typus) through Minis­ terial Decree No 18 the year 2013.

“As a description, the researchers cited that selling one adult shark meat and fin can make Rp1,8 mil­ lion. Meanwhile if you keep it alive to be a diving tourism object, it is worth Rp1,8 billion. Imagine the big difference in value,” explained Sudirman.

Confetti sprinkled and the sound of siren when button was pressed by Sapta Nirwandar, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy on the Launching of Destinasi Indonesia.
