ie of tourism does not always taste sweet. Thosegetting involved in person or indirectly may tasteso. However, the remaining does not enjoy any

impact of the increase of tourist visit to Bali. Probably, it isactually a matter of imbalance on development policy.

By and large, development in general is ideally intendedto improve people’s prosperity. Its proceedings should bedistributed and could be enjoyed evenly. Otherwise, theimbalance 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 andthe airport to other region in order the new region could alsodrive a better economic growth. Meanwhile, anotherprotested that its region was just used as stopover of cruisepassenger. After landing, guests spent holidays or hadexcursion to other neighboring destination. It is considered,the region was merely taken advantage for ‘urinating’ andguests spent not a single penny.

Various attempts have indeed been undertaken by localgovernment to gradually diminish such imbalance. One ofthem is by launching tourism village in regencies. By thisinitiative, guests are driven to explore local village to knowmore about their uniqueness. They were expected to notonly have a sightseeing tour but also take advantage of localaccommodation facilities. The program denotes one of thecommunity involvements in tourism or better known ascommunity-based tourism.

Additionally, guests will have more convenient times toexplore the splendor of the village and get in closer touchwith the local community. This will enable local people toprovide everything required by guests during their stay atthe village. They are starting from unique tradition, beauty ofnature, challenging adventure to delicious and country-styleculinary. Of course, these would enrich their personalexperience as one of the objectives of traveling.

Simantri or integrated farming system initiated byGovernor Pastika is another program that is also expectedto empty out into agricultural-based tourism. Basically, it iscommenced by empowering farmers through theimplementation of eco-friendly facilities of rice productions.At the end, it also wants to achieve prosperity, quality healthand better environment.

Last but not least, government should also map the greatpotential retained by each region and make a policy in sucha way that each region is included in particular tour package.Basically each region has unique and attractive potentialslike arts, livelihood, tools, tourist destinations, customs andother treasures. Besides, government can lead newinvestment to less developed regions and establish inter-regency cooperation in distributing job opportunities. In reality,there are some regencies undergoing rapid growth in thehandicraft industry and informal sector enterprises, whileothers have abundant unemployment. Local labor forceshould be given priority to fill in the opportunities as they aresupporters of local culture and responsible for itsconservation.

Bali has a great potential of pristine destination. Thisshould be managed and preserved accordingly for itssustainability. When this can be achieved, people will havemore job opportunities without leaving agriculture or otherprevious job. Conversely, tourists will have a wide choice ofdestination and attraction to visit. Hopefully, suchdevelopment could be supported by all components of thecommunity, so the ‘social envy’ could be gradually diminishedwithout moving the ‘existing infrastructure’ but discoveringeach local potential and how to get a share of theopportunities.

Celebrating the World Tourism Day

e entered the tourismindustry when heworked as a daily worker

technician at Ramada Bintang BaliHotel in 1994. In that time hebegan to think that apparentlyworking at the hotel was very niceand pleasant which eventuallybecame the obsession of his own.Although later in the year 1995 heforced to leave the hotel due to thecrisis and moved to PT. CanningIndonesia Product, but because ofhis obsession that still wanted towork in a hotel, then only threeyears later he got that chance again.It was noted that several hotelsused his services such as TheAhimsa Villa, Alu Bali Villa andSol Lovina Villas & Spa Resort,where in 2001 he had become aChief Engineer at the hotel.

“In Sol Lovina I started to learnby autodidact. My learning processon this stage is quite difference

Ketut Swabawa:

Change the Weakness into ChallengeKetut Swabawa, ResidentManager of Kuta Seaview

Boutique Resort & Spa is typicalof person who does not easily

give up. He comes from a familybackground with less support of

the economy to sustain his bigdream. But with strong will and

persistent struggle, so that he canbe like now. He also a uniqueResident Manager due to his

educational background which isnot derived from the fields of

tourism, but an STM graduated.This, of course, is very rare.

compared with my colleagues, Istart to looking the source of theproblem and solve them by positive-negative anticipated effect, whilesome people wait until theinstruction was given and move theproblem to other part, not solvedthem. For me there are twoimportant things I alwaysemphasize to myself. Those are timeand health. Time for me iseverything. I will not be able toreturn the elapsed time, so I reallyappreciate it. In addition, I am alsovery concerned about my healthbecause I realize when experiencingany illness, then my work will bedisrupted. From this discipline, sofinally in the year 2003 I wasappointed as Resident Manager atthe hotel,” said the man who wasborn on May 30, 1976.

From Sol Lovina Villas & SpaResort, he then tried to find newchallenges by moving to Komaneka

Ubud in 2005. There, he tried againto do something new by handlingthe position of ExecutiveHousekeeper which of course wasvery different from his previousjobs. It did not take a long time toprove his capacity by becoming aResort Manager of Komaneka atMonkey Forest and alsoKomaneka at Bisma including toset up and open its newest resortand wedding chapel. Then, whenhis contract expired at theKomaneka in early 2010, soaccurately in April 2010 heproposed an application to RamaHotels and Resorts Bali asFreelancer Operation Consultantand was offered to in charge asResident Manager of KutaSeaview Boutique Resort & Spa,a member of Rama Hotels andResorts Bali.

This very low profile managerhas two hopes in his life; infinancial, he expects to be able toprovide a good education for hischildren, and in social side, hewants to make more people smartand work. All is reflecting hiseducate-ages experience. He has avery great time when havingdiscussion with his friends (healways call ‘friend’ to his staff). Healways reminds them thateveryone is a server in the resort,from the landscaper until GeneralManager. As a server, we couldmanage ourselves to provide anhonest and best quality of services.In hospitality industry, the serviceis a basic concept has to wellestablish beside of luxury and

gorgeous property or viewpresentation.

“I admit that my career is noteasy. I started everything fromzero, moved the workplace fromone to another and occupieddifferent positions. Besides myeducation was not too high becauseit hit my main weakness which inthat case was financial. But I didn’tgive up. I changed my weaknessinto challenge which alsoultimately helped to change mydestiny to be like now. Anotherthing to be considered is about theopportunity. That’s why I alwaysthankful and respect to myprevious experiences. I met good

friends, owners and company thosegave me chance to grow up. Now Imay say that my weakness haschanged into my strength becauseas the manager of a property orresort we have to know entire fieldsof our responsibility from the maingate until the back of house, fromrank in file until managementthinking. Luckily, I have been therebefore. I’m so grateful and proudwith my life. I think everyone hasthe same opportunity, but thedifference is how they maintain thatopportunity. That’s the point,” hesaid with enthusiasm.

Column by Jan Hendrik Peters*)

* ) Prof. Dr. Jan Hendrik Peters, Director ofInternational Centre of Service studies Bali

Sept. 24 - Oct. 7, 2010

herever you go on Bali,you will hear peoplediscussing about

Community-Based Tourism (CBT).To get a survey of the impact of CBTsofar, I visited villages all over Baliand found indeed that CBT is ‘thetalk of town’. Bali comprises of manyvillages, and these villages have inmind to develop CBT, althoughgenerally speaking they don’t reallyunderstand about CBT and surelynot how to develop it. They justexpect that CBT will bring welfareto the villages. In their ambition theyare looking at Ubud that in the pasthas developed from a small ruralvillage into the center of art, cultureand spir ituality of today. Andnowadays Ubud is inviting manyinternational tourists for tasting art,culture and spirituality as an eye-and mind-opener in their life. Whatthe villages mostly overlook is thatUbud is a unique case, which cannot easily be copied to beintroduced in their own place. CBTis a general concept that has to beadapted to the specificcircumstances of each village.

In some way it does remind meof the Gold-Rush in the USA in thefifties of the 19th century, when somany people tried their luck bytrekking to the West, where theywould dig up from the rivers somuch gold that they wouldn’t worryanymore for the rest of their life. Ofcourse some adventurers werelucky by finding gold, but most didn’tdig up any gold and realized too latethat the Gold-Rush was just a fata

This new development has to be in line with the values of the philosophyof ‘Tri Hita Karana’. If not, forget about Community-Based Tourism

morgana. Their dreams spoilt theyhad not the energy anymore torestart their life.

The ambition to start CBT allover Bali is more or lesscomparable with the Gold-Rush ofold times. People in or outside thevillages are starting CBT withoutproper analysis and preparations.Home stay is established with asmall number of rooms and thevillagers have high expectations ofinternational tourists, who will stayovernight and experience rural life(the life of the farmer) and attenddance and gamelan performances.However, the moment internationaltour ists do not show up, theeuphoria of the beginning dropsdown and feelings of apathy andfrustration emerge. That’s whathappens today.

Overseeing the outcry for CBT Ihave mixed feelings. On one handI know that CBT is basically okayin this respect that it is inextricablylinked to tourism and as such canbe profitable to enhance the welfareof the people of Bali. On the otherhand I am aware that the explosionof initiatives by villages to start rightaway with CBT is doing more harmthan good. And just as with theadventurers of the Gold-Rush in theUSA who started enthusiastically,but became disillusioned, it will bedifficult for villages to make a restartafter their spontaneous plan todevelop CBT has failed.

The only logical conclusion fromthis dilemma will be to mark timeinstead of pushing new initiatives

which only leads to frustration. Inthe meantime one should not stopthe initiatives that have alreadystar ted and are running asexpected, but unfortunately that ismore exception than rule.

The first priority to develop CBTsuccessfully will be to study anddiscuss the results of appliedresearch before deciding about theroad-map to CBT. Recently, someinteresting researches have beenpublished about the feasibility ofCBT on Bali. These researches areconducted in rural villages (Bedulu,Mas and Pinge) by researchers ofNHTV, Breda, The Netherlands. Itis beyond the reach of this articleto go into detail, but the headlinesof these researches are interestingand can not be ignored. Two basicconditions have to be consideredbefore ever starting CBT, namelythe linkage of CBT to the Tri HitaKarana (THK) philosophy and themeaning of the concept of CBT. Aslong as people, who are involved,have just a vague idea about thesetwo basic conditions, you betterforget about CBT.

CBT has to be based on theTHK. Nearly all villages on Bali aredesa adat, what means that thepeople in the village are livingaccording to customary law andrespect the philosophy of Tri HitaKarana. Whatever the people in thevillage will undertake, the activitieshave to be in line with THK. In ameeting to discuss the feasibility ofCBT in Pinge, a village in the heartof Bali, the community leaderstressed the point that everyone

involved has to maintain the visionof Tri Hita Karana. By referring tothe Tri Hita Karana the village chiefexpressed his desire forsustainable development of CBT inhis village and all members of thatmeeting agreed completely withthis statement.

I am sure that the village chiefof Pinge can be seen as themouthpiece of all villages on Bali.The confession to the values ofTHK can be seen as the origin ofdaily life in the village and newactivities such as CBT have to bein line with THK. By taking sufficienttime for discussion about theimpact of THK on CBT manyproblems during the process ofCBT can be prevented. I realizethat this kind of discussion is noteasy, but has to be done to preventfrustration. The confession to THKmeans for example that sacredplaces in the village will never bedesecrated by tourists, nor that thecommunity will be upset byimproper behavior of tourists orthat the environment will bepolluted. These are negativeaspects that will be discussedbeforehand, so there will be nofrustration afterwards. It will also bein line with THK that CBT will be tothe benefit of all villagers and notjust the happy few. Otherwise thiswould endanger the solidarity in thecommunity life and would bringdaily life out of balance.

It is impossible to discussbeforehand all potential excesses.Crucial however is the statementby all stakeholders that CBT can

only be developed in line with thephilosophy of THK and that they arewilling to discuss all problems onthe way to CBT against thebackground of THK. It is a conditiosine qua non or in other words acondition that can not be disputed.Villages will claim this condition asa guarantee that their authenticitywill not be endangered byinnovation. CBT together with thedevelopment of Bali GreenProvince are the political topics thatwill attract many internationaltourists to Bali. Made MangkuPastika, Bali Governor, recentlywrote in the preface of the roadmaptowards Bali Green Province: “Thisprogram aims to create a regionalenvironment of Bali that is clean,healthy, comfortable, sustainableand beautiful in accordance withthe values of the philosophy of TriHita Karana”. I have no doubt thatthis Governor is willing to underlinethe same statement in the prefaceof a roadmap to CBT on Bali. Onthe short term this roadmap to CBTon Bali can be made, supported byrecent research. Just as in the caseof Bali Green Province the initiativehas to be taken by the provincialgovernment. A special taskforce isneeded consisting of stakeholders.First of all they have to agree aboutthe concept of CBT, because noteveryone has the same opinion.But I will reflect on that in the nextedition of BTN.

He reminded that, other than having an academic freedom, professoralso had to have the sasana kawikon or saintly code of ethics, namelypatience, respect other people’s opinions, no touchy, honest and keeping thepromises. On that account, Sukarsa said the success of Runa was also thesuccess of Warmadewa University.

To motivate the birth of more professors in Warmadewa University,Chairman of Korpri Bali Welfare Foundation, IGA Oka Wisnu Murti, saidthe foundation set up allowances for professors aside from getting benefitsfrom the government. Secondly, the foundation set up scholarships worthIDR 100 million per year for lecturers that would continue their study todoctoral program. Thus, he targeted that Warmadewa University could givebirth to a professor each year. Even, he considered that Runa was a scarceprofessor 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 expectedthe lecturers of Warmadewa University could take advantage of 800scholarship quotas for doctoral program each year. Unfortunately, only 3-4lecturers of Kopertis VIII taking advantage of the offer. They found difficultyin the matter of foreign language, competition and family problems.

established in 1972 by anAustralian, together with GedeBrata who at that time was servedas chairman of the youthorganization of Banjar Wangaya

Made Suparka:

“Balawista” Gives Positive Image in Terms of Security“Balawista” (Badan

Penyelamat Wisata Tirta)was another part of Kuta

beach that we could meetevery day around there.

Made Suparka ascoordinator of Balawista for

the Badung regionmentioned that the

attendance of Balawistawas very important

remembering that its dutywas to provide security for

visitors who cameespecially for swimming or

other water activities.

Kaja. At that time the name wasWAJA Surf Life Saving Guardand funded only by donationsfrom local hotels. Then, in 1978,it began to be taken over by localgovernment specifically by thetourism department. Therefore,since that time, all operatingbudgets were financed by themand the name was also changedinto Balawista.

Since 1980, he continued,Balawista had already its worldorganization and the name wasWorld Life Saving (now it calledthe International Life SavingFederation). From there, it wasdecided that every two years since1981 the organization would behold a congress or meeting, andalso games which participated bythe nations who already becamethe members of that World LifeSaving. “We hosted the firstcongress and game which locatedat Kuta beach. At that time wereceived the award as the BestAsian Team because we managedto collect the most points incomparison with participants fromother Asian countries. It’s one ofour greatest achievements,” hesaid proudly.

The center of Balawista forIndonesia was located in Bali.Currently Balawista especially inthe province of Bali could befound in several areas such asBadung, Denpasar, Gianyar,Klungkung and Karangasem.Personally Suparka hoped thatBalawista established in everydistrict of Bali remembering thatalmost all the districts have their

own beach which became the topdestination for tourists. “By theexisting of Balawista, it will

indirectly be able to promotetourism in Bali because it can alsogive a positive image in terms of

security. Besides, I would also liketo underline that Balawista is notan easy job and very challenging.It can be said that apart fromhelping people, on the other handwe also risked our own lives,” heexplained at the end of theinterview. (BTN/Angga/Dewa)

Sangeh is the village whose north-ern part covers about 14 hectares of aholy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ treeswith hundreds of monkey inhabitants.The trees cannot be found on anyother part of Bali and their existencein this village remains a mystery. Lookfor a lovely mossy temple, which ishidden amongst the tall and gracious‘Pala’ trees.

Ayung River RaftingThe river Ayung is the longest and

largest river in Bali, and along thisriver, white water rafting was first in-troduced in Bali. To experience raft-

ing on the river Ayung’s west side isamazing, for besides the enjoymentof challenging rapids, the panoramaof this beautiful, intact nature area ishighlighted by the appearance of wildanimals along the rafting route suchas big bats, black monkeys, and more.

Uluwatu TempleAt the westernmost tip of Bukit

Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples.The location is dramatic, perched onthe edge of a high cliff with a pictur-esque sunset view. The temple wasfirst used for worship by the 11th cen-tury holy priest, Empu Kuturan, whocame to Bali to bring religious lawand to form Desa Adat (traditional vil-lages). The area where spectacularsunsets can be viewed is filled withthe scent of frangipani blossoms andis also the home of friendly monkeys.

is located at Banjar Batubelig,Kerobokan village kecamatanKuta. To reach this object by mo-tor vehicle from Denpasar, travelwestwards more or less 10 kmthen turn south, or to the northfrom Kuta following RayaSeminyak Street.

Peti Tenget temple was builtin the 15th century and it used tobe a plot of extraordinary holy(Tenget) land, bush growth anddwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demonthat was trusted by Holy priest,Dang Hyang Nirartha to safe-guard his holy box. The story istold that when the priest stayedat south port (now Uluwatu), aman from Kerobokan villagecame asking the priest for help.He wished to cultivate the plotof land without feeling fear. Thepriest suggested that the peoplebuild a temple dedicated to god‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a singleclosed shrine (Pagedongan) forBhuta Ijo as a place to safeguardthe priest’s box (Peti). From thattime on, the temple was namedPeti Tenget Temple.

Sadha TempleThis temple, with decorative

carvings, is famous for its intricacyand ingenuity. Dating from theMajapahit period, this originallywas an old dynastic sanctuary(prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

Taman Ayun Temple‘Taman Ayun’ means beautiful

garden, located in the village ofMengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar.It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king ofMengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom,built its stately proportioned court-yards and large surrounding moatin the year 1634.

Sept. 24 - Oct. 7, 2010Your guide to this island

Tabanan is the name of one district and townin Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a touristtown there are still some interesting aspects toit. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch werefighting over control of the island.

One of the more positive historical pointsof interest is the Subak Museum, located closeto the main bypass road. While the museumitself is nothing special, it documents one ofthe most important social/economic/cultural in-stitutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

Tabanan Regencymechanized rice cultivation and water manage-ment. Bali’s ability to produce an endless sup-ply of rice year round is central to its history.The Subak controls management of the water-courses, stretching all the way to the highlandlakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fieldsat the same time, or divert a main stream to ac-cess more water. The system is intricate and theSubak museum is the place where it’s officiallydocumented.

Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian tothe west are beach environments around thearea. Highlights of the area close to Tabananinclude Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) inWanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura TanahLot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan.Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot, one of the most popular placesof interest in Bali, is located on the coast of WestBali, at the village of Beraban in the TabananRegency. It is also called Tanah Let, whichmeans ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, whichmean the land to the south. The temple PuraTanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dra-matic in its ocean-front location and is one ofthe main temples in the worship of Balinesegods.

Tanah Lot has a long history in the world oftourism. The temple itself is built on a smallpromontory, which is only accessible at low tide.During high water the rock takes on the ap-pearance 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’sdangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time tovisit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies framethe temple and waves crash into the rocks. It isadvisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as itcan be severe.

WHERE TO GO . . . Klungkung, the SmallestRegency on the Island

This is the smallest regency in Bali. Itcovers only 121 square kilometers and in-cludes three islands, Nusa Penida,Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size,its influence on Balinese culture has beenpowerful. It was here, in the shadow of theholy volcano Agung, that the princes andpriests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 tocontinue the kingdom by setting up‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within acouple of generations, they moved toGelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. Inthe 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgelwhen Dalem Baturenggong reached an im-pressive political and cultural achievementto earn his ‘golden age’

Kertha Gosa, which is situated in thecentral town of Semarapura, was the placefor administration and traditional justice inthe pre-colonial times by a council consist-ing of the great king and his priests. Nextto the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, knownas a Floating House (Bale Kambang) whichwas the King’s Guard’s headquarters.These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonialbuilding, located next to these two build-ings, is Semarajaya Museum, collectingsome handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historicand historic articles especially those usedin the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle.In the southern part of the museum area,there stands the main gate of SemarapuraPalace ‘Pemedal Agung’.

The newest sight in Semarapura Townis Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at themain junction of Semarapura town. Somepeople consider this statue as the landmarkof Klungkung Regency. Next to this land-mark stands an historical monument knownas Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle.This monument is a cenotaph reminiscentof an event that once took place on April28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, acounter-defence of The Great King ofKlungkung against the Dutch soldiers.Moving south of Semarapura town alongthe main road, one will arrive at the ‘underconstruction’ area of Tourism Villages, homeof traditional Painting, Kamasan Village andBali’s original capital, Gelgel.

Tabanan is the name of one district and townin Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a touristtown there are still some interesting aspects toit. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch werefighting over control of the island.

One of the more positive historical pointsof interest is the Subak Museum, located closeto the main bypass road. While the museumitself is nothing special, it documents one ofthe most important social/economic/cultural in-stitutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

Tabanan Regencymechanized rice cultivation and water manage-ment. Bali’s ability to produce an endless sup-ply of rice year round is central to its history.The Subak controls management of the water-courses, stretching all the way to the highlandlakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fieldsat the same time, or divert a main stream to ac-cess more water. The system is intricate and theSubak museum is the place where it’s officiallydocumented.

Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian tothe west are beach environments around thearea. Highlights of the area close to Tabananinclude Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) inWanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura TanahLot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan.Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot, one of the most popular placesof interest in Bali, is located on the coast of WestBali, at the village of Beraban in the TabananRegency. It is also called Tanah Let, whichmeans ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, whichmean the land to the south. The temple PuraTanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dra-matic in its ocean-front location and is one ofthe main temples in the worship of Balinesegods.

Tanah Lot has a long history in the world oftourism. The temple itself is built on a smallpromontory, which is only accessible at low tide.During high water the rock takes on the ap-pearance 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’sdangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time tovisit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies framethe temple and waves crash into the rocks. It isadvisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as itcan be severe.

WHERE TO GO . . . Klungkung, the SmallestRegency on the Island

This is the smallest regency in Bali. Itcovers only 121 square kilometers and in-cludes three islands, Nusa Penida,Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size,its influence on Balinese culture has beenpowerful. It was here, in the shadow of theholy volcano Agung, that the princes andpriests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 tocontinue the kingdom by setting up‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within acouple of generations, they moved toGelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. Inthe 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgelwhen Dalem Baturenggong reached an im-pressive political and cultural achievementto earn his ‘golden age’

Kertha Gosa, which is situated in thecentral town of Semarapura, was the placefor administration and traditional justice inthe pre-colonial times by a council consist-ing of the great king and his priests. Nextto the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, knownas a Floating House (Bale Kambang) whichwas the King’s Guard’s headquarters.These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonialbuilding, located next to these two build-ings, is Semarajaya Museum, collectingsome handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historicand historic articles especially those usedin the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle.In the southern part of the museum area,there stands the main gate of SemarapuraPalace ‘Pemedal Agung’.

The newest sight in Semarapura Townis Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at themain junction of Semarapura town. Somepeople consider this statue as the landmarkof Klungkung Regency. Next to this land-mark stands an historical monument knownas Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle.This monument is a cenotaph reminiscentof an event that once took place on April28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, acounter-defence of The Great King ofKlungkung against the Dutch soldiers.Moving south of Semarapura town alongthe main road, one will arrive at the ‘underconstruction’ area of Tourism Villages, homeof traditional Painting, Kamasan Village andBali’s original capital, Gelgel.

recreation and relaxation. It is quieterthan its neighboring beaches and onewill find nice hotels and mostly sea-food served at Jimbaran’s restaurants.Jimbaran is in fact famous for its de-licious seafood, particularly its typi-cal grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s‘secret sauce’.

Sangeh is the village whose north-ern part covers about 14 hectares of aholy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ treeswith hundreds of monkey inhabitants.The trees cannot be found on anyother part of Bali and their existencein this village remains a mystery. Lookfor a lovely mossy temple, which ishidden amongst the tall and gracious‘Pala’ trees.

Ayung River RaftingThe river Ayung is the longest and

largest river in Bali, and along thisriver, white water rafting was first in-troduced in Bali. To experience raft-

ing on the river Ayung’s west side isamazing, for besides the enjoymentof challenging rapids, the panoramaof this beautiful, intact nature area ishighlighted by the appearance of wildanimals along the rafting route suchas big bats, black monkeys, and more.

Uluwatu TempleAt the westernmost tip of Bukit

Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples.The location is dramatic, perched onthe edge of a high cliff with a pictur-esque sunset view. The temple wasfirst used for worship by the 11th cen-tury holy priest, Empu Kuturan, whocame to Bali to bring religious lawand to form Desa Adat (traditional vil-lages). The area where spectacularsunsets can be viewed is filled withthe scent of frangipani blossoms andis also the home of friendly monkeys.

is located at Banjar Batubelig,Kerobokan village kecamatanKuta. To reach this object by mo-tor vehicle from Denpasar, travelwestwards more or less 10 kmthen turn south, or to the northfrom Kuta following RayaSeminyak Street.

Peti Tenget temple was builtin the 15th century and it used tobe a plot of extraordinary holy(Tenget) land, bush growth anddwelled by the I Bhuta Ijo demonthat was trusted by Holy priest,Dang Hyang Nirartha to safe-guard his holy box. The story istold that when the priest stayedat south port (now Uluwatu), aman from Kerobokan villagecame asking the priest for help.He wished to cultivate the plotof land without feeling fear. Thepriest suggested that the peoplebuild a temple dedicated to god‘Labuhan Masceti’ and a singleclosed shrine (Pagedongan) forBhuta Ijo as a place to safeguardthe priest’s box (Peti). From thattime on, the temple was namedPeti Tenget Temple.

Sadha TempleThis temple, with decorative

carvings, is famous for its intricacyand ingenuity. Dating from theMajapahit period, this originallywas an old dynastic sanctuary(prasada) of Mengwi Royalty. The

garden, located in the village ofMengwi, 18 km west of Denpasar.It is indeed one of Bali’s most pic-

turesque temples. The king ofMengwi, I Gusti Agung Anom,built its stately proportioned court-yards and large surrounding moatin the year 1634.

Sept. 24 - Oct. 7, 2010Who’s WhoWho’s WhoLooking back at your activities

iewed from the history,Suparka explained thatBalawista was

established in 1972 by anAustralian, together with GedeBrata who at that time was servedas chairman of the youthorganization of Banjar Wangaya

Made Suparka:

“Balawista” Gives Positive Image in Terms of Security“Balawista” (Badan

Penyelamat Wisata Tirta)was another part of Kuta

beach that we could meetevery day around there.

Made Suparka ascoordinator of Balawista for

the Badung regionmentioned that the

attendance of Balawistawas very important

remembering that its dutywas to provide security for

visitors who cameespecially for swimming or

other water activities.

Kaja. At that time the name wasWAJA Surf Life Saving Guardand funded only by donationsfrom local hotels. Then, in 1978,it began to be taken over by localgovernment specifically by thetourism department. Therefore,since that time, all operatingbudgets were financed by themand the name was also changedinto Balawista.

Since 1980, he continued,Balawista had already its worldorganization and the name wasWorld Life Saving (now it calledthe International Life SavingFederation). From there, it wasdecided that every two years since1981 the organization would behold a congress or meeting, andalso games which participated bythe nations who already becamethe members of that World LifeSaving. “We hosted the firstcongress and game which locatedat Kuta beach. At that time wereceived the award as the BestAsian Team because we managedto collect the most points incomparison with participants fromother Asian countries. It’s one ofour greatest achievements,” hesaid proudly.

The center of Balawista forIndonesia was located in Bali.Currently Balawista especially inthe province of Bali could befound in several areas such asBadung, Denpasar, Gianyar,Klungkung and Karangasem.Personally Suparka hoped thatBalawista established in everydistrict of Bali remembering thatalmost all the districts have their

own beach which became the topdestination for tourists. “By theexisting of Balawista, it will

indirectly be able to promotetourism in Bali because it can alsogive a positive image in terms of

security. Besides, I would also liketo underline that Balawista is notan easy job and very challenging.It can be said that apart fromhelping people, on the other handwe also risked our own lives,” heexplained at the end of theinterview. (BTN/Angga/Dewa)

By and large, theirproduct is earthenwarefor kitchen equipment,such as cookingequipment, watercontainer and others.There is a variety ofpotteries used for theneeds of Hindu religiousceremonies with the so-called coblong, dulang,jempere and so forth.

As fuel for theproduction process, theyremain to take advantageof firewood especiallycoconut shell and fiberand straw that are easy toobtain from the

surrounding areas.Since the rapid development of Bali

tourism, Balinese pottery craftsmen alsoreceived orders from local hotels andrestaurants. They usually demand variouskinds of pot, vase, garden spot lights,contemporary sculptures and ashtrays. Evensome restaurants ordered plates and appliancefor cooking rice that look so unique. “Cookingby this pottery will make the rice to taste moredelicious,” said a vendor of ceramic vesselfrom Kapal Village.

Theexhibition entitled “TrulyBagus” was opened by DeputyRector II of ISI Denpasar, I GedeArya Sugiartha, last Tuesday(Aug 18).

I Gede Arya Sugiartha said thecollaboration of two institutions (ISIDenpasar and The University of WesternAustralia) was expected to improve thestudents’ creativity through the knowledgeand information between the twoinstitutions. “This sort of activity is trulyimportant, in addition to cultural exchange,it also poses a part to establish good relationsbetween the two countries, improving thenational competitiveness, positively imagingIndonesia, especially Bali,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prof. Paul Trinidad (alecturer at UWA) bridging the twoinstitutions stated that it was the realizationof cooperation between ISI Denpasar and theUniversity of Western Australia. Theuniversity-to-university (U to U)cooperation had been established since fouryears ago where many activities had beenengendered from this collaboration,including the “Truly Bagus” exhibition,namely a Bridge of Culture having highaesthetic significance.

Column by Jan Hendrik Peters*)

* ) Prof. Dr. Jan Hendrik Peters, Director ofInternational Centre of Service studies Bali

Sept. 24 - Oct. 7, 2010

herever you go on Bali,you will hear peoplediscussing about

Community-Based Tourism (CBT).To get a survey of the impact of CBTsofar, I visited villages all over Baliand found indeed that CBT is ‘thetalk of town’. Bali comprises of manyvillages, and these villages have inmind to develop CBT, althoughgenerally speaking they don’t reallyunderstand about CBT and surelynot how to develop it. They justexpect that CBT will bring welfareto the villages. In their ambition theyare looking at Ubud that in the pasthas developed from a small ruralvillage into the center of art, cultureand spir ituality of today. Andnowadays Ubud is inviting manyinternational tourists for tasting art,culture and spirituality as an eye-and mind-opener in their life. Whatthe villages mostly overlook is thatUbud is a unique case, which cannot easily be copied to beintroduced in their own place. CBTis a general concept that has to beadapted to the specificcircumstances of each village.

In some way it does remind meof the Gold-Rush in the USA in thefifties of the 19th century, when somany people tried their luck bytrekking to the West, where theywould dig up from the rivers somuch gold that they wouldn’t worryanymore for the rest of their life. Ofcourse some adventurers werelucky by finding gold, but most didn’tdig up any gold and realized too latethat the Gold-Rush was just a fata

morgana. Their dreams spoilt theyhad not the energy anymore torestart their life.

The ambition to start CBT allover Bali is more or lesscomparable with the Gold-Rush ofold times. People in or outside thevillages are starting CBT withoutproper analysis and preparations.Home stay is established with asmall number of rooms and thevillagers have high expectations ofinternational tourists, who will stayovernight and experience rural life(the life of the farmer) and attenddance and gamelan performances.However, the moment internationaltour ists do not show up, theeuphoria of the beginning dropsdown and feelings of apathy andfrustration emerge. That’s whathappens today.

Overseeing the outcry for CBT Ihave mixed feelings. On one handI know that CBT is basically okayin this respect that it is inextricablylinked to tourism and as such canbe profitable to enhance the welfareof the people of Bali. On the otherhand I am aware that the explosionof initiatives by villages to start rightaway with CBT is doing more harmthan good. And just as with theadventurers of the Gold-Rush in theUSA who started enthusiastically,but became disillusioned, it will bedifficult for villages to make a restartafter their spontaneous plan todevelop CBT has failed.

The only logical conclusion fromthis dilemma will be to mark timeinstead of pushing new initiatives

which only leads to frustration. Inthe meantime one should not stopthe initiatives that have alreadystar ted and are running asexpected, but unfortunately that ismore exception than rule.

The first priority to develop CBTsuccessfully will be to study anddiscuss the results of appliedresearch before deciding about theroad-map to CBT. Recently, someinteresting researches have beenpublished about the feasibility ofCBT on Bali. These researches areconducted in rural villages (Bedulu,Mas and Pinge) by researchers ofNHTV, Breda, The Netherlands. Itis beyond the reach of this articleto go into detail, but the headlinesof these researches are interestingand can not be ignored. Two basicconditions have to be consideredbefore ever starting CBT, namelythe linkage of CBT to the Tri HitaKarana (THK) philosophy and themeaning of the concept of CBT. Aslong as people, who are involved,have just a vague idea about thesetwo basic conditions, you betterforget about CBT.

CBT has to be based on theTHK. Nearly all villages on Bali aredesa adat, what means that thepeople in the village are livingaccording to customary law andrespect the philosophy of Tri HitaKarana. Whatever the people in thevillage will undertake, the activitieshave to be in line with THK. In ameeting to discuss the feasibility ofCBT in Pinge, a village in the heartof Bali, the community leaderstressed the point that everyone

involved has to maintain the visionof Tri Hita Karana. By referring tothe Tri Hita Karana the village chiefexpressed his desire forsustainable development of CBT inhis village and all members of thatmeeting agreed completely withthis statement.

I am sure that the village chiefof Pinge can be seen as themouthpiece of all villages on Bali.The confession to the values ofTHK can be seen as the origin ofdaily life in the village and newactivities such as CBT have to bein line with THK. By taking sufficienttime for discussion about theimpact of THK on CBT manyproblems during the process ofCBT can be prevented. I realizethat this kind of discussion is noteasy, but has to be done to preventfrustration. The confession to THKmeans for example that sacredplaces in the village will never bedesecrated by tourists, nor that thecommunity will be upset byimproper behavior of tourists orthat the environment will bepolluted. These are negativeaspects that will be discussedbeforehand, so there will be nofrustration afterwards. It will also bein line with THK that CBT will be tothe benefit of all villagers and notjust the happy few. Otherwise thiswould endanger the solidarity in thecommunity life and would bringdaily life out of balance.

It is impossible to discussbeforehand all potential excesses.Crucial however is the statementby all stakeholders that CBT can

only be developed in line with thephilosophy of THK and that they arewilling to discuss all problems onthe way to CBT against thebackground of THK. It is a conditiosine qua non or in other words acondition that can not be disputed.Villages will claim this condition asa guarantee that their authenticitywill not be endangered byinnovation. CBT together with thedevelopment of Bali GreenProvince are the political topics thatwill attract many internationaltourists to Bali. Made MangkuPastika, Bali Governor, recentlywrote in the preface of the roadmaptowards Bali Green Province: “Thisprogram aims to create a regionalenvironment of Bali that is clean,healthy, comfortable, sustainableand beautiful in accordance withthe values of the philosophy of TriHita Karana”. I have no doubt thatthis Governor is willing to underlinethe same statement in the prefaceof a roadmap to CBT on Bali. Onthe short term this roadmap to CBTon Bali can be made, supported byrecent research. Just as in the caseof Bali Green Province the initiativehas to be taken by the provincialgovernment. A special taskforce isneeded consisting of stakeholders.First of all they have to agree aboutthe concept of CBT, because noteveryone has the same opinion.But I will reflect on that in the nextedition of BTN.

He reminded that, other than having an academic freedom, professoralso had to have the sasana kawikon or saintly code of ethics, namelypatience, respect other people’s opinions, no touchy, honest and keeping thepromises. On that account, Sukarsa said the success of Runa was also thesuccess of Warmadewa University.

To motivate the birth of more professors in Warmadewa University,Chairman of Korpri Bali Welfare Foundation, IGA Oka Wisnu Murti, saidthe foundation set up allowances for professors aside from getting benefitsfrom the government. Secondly, the foundation set up scholarships worthIDR 100 million per year for lecturers that would continue their study todoctoral program. Thus, he targeted that Warmadewa University could givebirth to a professor each year. Even, he considered that Runa was a scarceprofessor 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 expectedthe lecturers of Warmadewa University could take advantage of 800scholarship quotas for doctoral program each year. Unfortunately, only 3-4lecturers of Kopertis VIII taking advantage of the offer. They found difficultyin the matter of foreign language, competition and family problems.

ie of tourism does not always taste sweet. Thosegetting involved in person or indirectly may tasteso. However, the remaining does not enjoy any

impact of the increase of tourist visit to Bali. Probably, it isactually a matter of imbalance on development policy.

By and large, development in general is ideally intendedto improve people’s prosperity. Its proceedings should bedistributed and could be enjoyed evenly. Otherwise, theimbalance 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 andthe airport to other region in order the new region could alsodrive a better economic growth. Meanwhile, anotherprotested that its region was just used as stopover of cruisepassenger. After landing, guests spent holidays or hadexcursion to other neighboring destination. It is considered,the region was merely taken advantage for ‘urinating’ andguests spent not a single penny.

Various attempts have indeed been undertaken by localgovernment to gradually diminish such imbalance. One ofthem is by launching tourism village in regencies. By thisinitiative, guests are driven to explore local village to knowmore about their uniqueness. They were expected to notonly have a sightseeing tour but also take advantage of localaccommodation facilities. The program denotes one of thecommunity involvements in tourism or better known ascommunity-based tourism.

Additionally, guests will have more convenient times toexplore the splendor of the village and get in closer touchwith the local community. This will enable local people toprovide everything required by guests during their stay atthe village. They are starting from unique tradition, beauty ofnature, challenging adventure to delicious and country-styleculinary. Of course, these would enrich their personalexperience as one of the objectives of traveling.

Simantri or integrated farming system initiated byGovernor Pastika is another program that is also expectedto empty out into agricultural-based tourism. Basically, it iscommenced by empowering farmers through theimplementation of eco-friendly facilities of rice productions.At the end, it also wants to achieve prosperity, quality healthand better environment.

Last but not least, government should also map the greatpotential retained by each region and make a policy in sucha way that each region is included in particular tour package.Basically each region has unique and attractive potentialslike arts, livelihood, tools, tourist destinations, customs andother treasures. Besides, government can lead newinvestment to less developed regions and establish inter-regency cooperation in distributing job opportunities. In reality,there are some regencies undergoing rapid growth in thehandicraft industry and informal sector enterprises, whileothers have abundant unemployment. Local labor forceshould be given priority to fill in the opportunities as they aresupporters of local culture and responsible for itsconservation.

Bali has a great potential of pristine destination. Thisshould be managed and preserved accordingly for itssustainability. When this can be achieved, people will havemore job opportunities without leaving agriculture or otherprevious job. Conversely, tourists will have a wide choice ofdestination and attraction to visit. Hopefully, suchdevelopment could be supported by all components of thecommunity, so the ‘social envy’ could be gradually diminishedwithout moving the ‘existing infrastructure’ but discoveringeach local potential and how to get a share of theopportunities.

Ubud in 2005. There, he tried againto do something new by handlingthe position of ExecutiveHousekeeper which of course wasvery different from his previousjobs. It did not take a long time toprove his capacity by becoming aResort Manager of Komaneka atMonkey Forest and alsoKomaneka at Bisma including toset up and open its newest resortand wedding chapel. Then, whenhis contract expired at theKomaneka in early 2010, soaccurately in April 2010 heproposed an application to RamaHotels and Resorts Bali asFreelancer Operation Consultantand was offered to in charge asResident Manager of KutaSeaview Boutique Resort & Spa,a member of Rama Hotels andResorts Bali.

This very low profile managerhas two hopes in his life; infinancial, he expects to be able toprovide a good education for hischildren, and in social side, hewants to make more people smartand work. All is reflecting hiseducate-ages experience. He has avery great time when havingdiscussion with his friends (healways call ‘friend’ to his staff). Healways reminds them thateveryone is a server in the resort,from the landscaper until GeneralManager. As a server, we couldmanage ourselves to provide anhonest and best quality of services.In hospitality industry, the serviceis a basic concept has to wellestablish beside of luxury and

“I admit that my career is noteasy. I started everything fromzero, moved the workplace fromone to another and occupieddifferent positions. Besides myeducation was not too high becauseit hit my main weakness which inthat case was financial. But I didn’tgive up. I changed my weaknessinto challenge which alsoultimately helped to change mydestiny to be like now. Anotherthing to be considered is about theopportunity.

Now Imay say that my weakness haschanged into my strength becauseas the manager of a property orresort we have to know entire fieldsof our responsibility from the maingate until the back of house, fromrank in file until managementthinking. Luckily, I have been therebefore. I’m so grateful and proudwith my life. I think everyone hasthe same opportunity, but thedifference is how they maintain thatopportunity.
