Belinda Cumington and ChrisSimpson had been come to Bali formany times. They already visited manyplaces there such as Ubud, Lovina, Gitgitwaterfall, Safari park, Tanah Lot andLegian. All of those places were attract-ing for them, especially Legian becausein there they could do their hobby whichin this case was shopping. Besides thegood things, there were still some thingsto be concerned in their opinion. Thosewere a lot of plastic bags on the street,traffic and slow service in airport. “Thegovernment should pay attention to theseproblems. If all the problems can besolved, so we think Bali will become oneof the greatest tourist destinations in theworld,” said those two women who alsoloved Indonesian foods.

When asked about All Season Hotelas their place to stay, they said that thehotel was very good especially in theservice. According to them, although thehotel was not big, but it had good rooms,

Bali representing Indonesia in the Dieppe KiteFestival 2010 in France at the end of last Septemberhad incised significant record in the world’s most pres-tigious competition.

The kite entitled Rangda designed by an architectMade Dwi Armika, 31, was named the best in the cat-egory of creation kite after defeating 42 other partici-pating countries. Category of creation kite was the mostfavorite in the biennial event that has been going onsince 30 years ago. Previously, this category was al-ways achieved by developed countries like the UnitedStates and the Netherlands with the technology-basedcreation.

According to Made Dwi Armika, who also ownsthe Guet Gallery in Sanur, the success of the designto beat the other participants was inseparable fromthe uniqueness of the concept applied. The kiteRangda was made of natural materials such as palmleaves, wood fiber and various grasses. In compari-son to the works of European and American coun-tries relying on the engineering technology and theart, the work of Armika even precisely revealed thesimplicity of media in use but it was intelligent in thematter of creative design. He said the concept pro-moted was in line with the message of global warm-ing becoming the central issue and concern in theworld today. The selection of Nature concept was in-separable from the structural and cultural life of theBalinese people upholding the Tri Hita Karana con-cept as a pillar of the universal balance toward a peace-ful and prosperous life.

Even though he had successfully attained an out-standing achievement, Armika was not easy to getthe ticket to attend such an international event. Start-ing from Sanur Village Festival 2010, he introduceda number of kite works featuring the Nature with aclear concept about saving the Earth from the threatof global warming. Uniqueness of the artistic con-cept and visualization had taken him to represent In-donesia and Asia in the Dieppe Kite Festival 2010.

“Initially, I became a participant who was not reck-oned among the participating countries. But aftergoing through the various qualifications and due tothe support and motivation of Nyoman Adnyana, 75,considered as director, they were finally impressedwith the concept I promoted,” said Armika after com-ing from roaming around Europe at the beginning ofthis October. His success to win one of the most pres-

tigious trophies had made him busy to prepare theexhibition for his next creations in Xienmen, China,in the middle of November 2010. Due to his achieve-ment, Armika automatically held the tickets to par-ticipate in the qualification of Dieppe Kite Festival2012 where for Asia would take place in Thailand.

The success of Armika at the same time posed thesuccess of Bali and Indonesia to inscribe the interna-tional victory that actually denoted an individual per-sistent struggle for his love to kite culture. Indeed, asa tourism attraction, Bali had an annual event like theKite Competition among the Hamlets and Commu-nities. However, this competition did not have a con-tinued agenda in the more dignified context.

By adopting various categories put into compe-tition in France, the kite competition in Bali couldactually be developed into a number of more at-tractive categories, such as combat category (col-liding kites), kite without frame (soft kite), and kiteinstallation with the involvement of the Balineseartists. The role of government should not be half-hearted and the competition usually conductedevery August should become the starting pointheading for a larger event. On that account, thekite lovers and creators got a wider medium oflearning and did not give impression to becomethe number one in their own arena only.

At the beginning, his grouphad 22 members, and in 2009 twonew members joined and up toSeptember 2010 it had been re-corded 24 members with majorbusiness activities in the field offreshwater prawn augment.

Head of Badung Transpor-tation, Communications andInformatics, Made Sutama, ex-plained that the award achievedhad passed through the long pro-cess of observation and admin-istrative selection along withfield assessment.

In addition, it was also as-sessed the level of discipline so-ciety in the matter of orderly traf-fic and adherence to use thesafety belt and helmet for motor-cycle riders, human resources

Meanwhile, the supportingbusiness of the group was creditand saving services with initialcapital sourced from basic savings,mandatory savings and financialassistance for capital strengthen-ing. From such freshwater prawnaugment cultivation, the number ofprawn production generated by thegroup in 2009 amounted to 18.860tons, with the average productionof 4.1 tons/ha on the total of 4.60hectares of land.

pography and beautiful hills. Simi-larly, the village had a variety of veg-etables, horticultural plants and char-acteristic crop. “In terms of histori-cal development, Mayungan Ham-let produced various vegetables be-ing able to provide supply for theBaturiti subdistrict long time ago,”she said.

Historically, continued Eka, thevillage was capable of producingvegetables that provided supplies forBaturiti subdistrict as well as otherareas from the past times. Mean-while, in the field of technology, lo-cal villagers remaining to use tradi-tional manners along with its subakirrigation system could become themain attraction.

Its products comprised the com-bination of activity to enjoy the natu-

ral scenery of plantation and agri-culture with other activities, such asenjoying the scenery around thetourist object while picking pine-apples, tomatoes, oranges and otherfruits. “And the current trend at thevillage is that visitors can do addi-tional activities such as hiking andcycling around the location ofagrotourism,” said the administra-tor of the Indonesia Hotel and Res-taurant Association (PHRI) ofBadung Chapter calmly.

Mayungan Hamlet also hadancestral cultural heritages such asChinese ceramics originated in theMing Dynasty times (thirteenth tofourteenth century), pieces ofslonding gamelan blades, buffer ofslonding blades, and the Okokanarts. The panoramic view of terraced

rice field combined with sunsetgenerated an interesting scene.Likewise, there were also touristattractions of Ngingil and CepungWaterfall that were no less inter-esting.

However, Eka added that theroad leading to the village stayedto become a significant constraint.Road access to the village was ex-tremely damaged and not worthyto be passed through. Then, con-necting bridge of Tohjiwa Villagein Badung Regency andTalangpati Village in Tabanan Re-gency had not been improved yetproperly. For this moment, theseobjects could only be reached bymotorcycle or four-wheeled pri-vate car because there was no pub-lic transport. (BTN/bud)

fter planting rice, there are series of activi-ties to maintain their paddies. As a socio-religious organization, subak community

treats their paddy as human by providing them withlife-cycle rituals. After cleaning up the weeds, farm-ers will perform ngulapin to regain the spirit or con-sciousness of paddies. Then, 42 days after the kick-off ritual (only one member selected to do this), theyorganize collective ritual at subak temple resumedwith one-day of silence or nyepi. During which, noone may do activities in the rice field.

When the paddy has got ‘pregnant’ or is going tobloom, farmer will perform miseh ritual. Striking con-tent of this oblation is assorted sour fruits and smallpenjor (bamboo log or midrib of sugar palm) installedadjacent to the upstream shrine. As on human, thesour fruits mean to strengthen the pregnancy and ex-pected the entire grains could produce rice. Whenthe rice turns yellow, it is time for the last ritualmabiyukukung marked with the use of basket madeof plaited green coconut leaf. This ritual is resumedwith the selection of rice known as Dewa Nini. Byand large, it amounts to a handful of rice stalk thatwill be given offering in post-harvest ritual at ricegranary.

In technical matters, the subak regularly checkstheir water divider or temuku before entering the newplanting season. Due to natural process and waterflows, its condition may have changed. Subak ad-ministrators will calibrate the measurement of temuku(if made of wooden log) pursuant to the record book

Verdant Rice Field:

A Playground ofBirds and Hikers

Having a promenade or watching birds atverdant rice field in Bali is very exciting.Aside from seeing nice rice terrace andbeautiful birds, you may also encounter

farmers being absorbed in completing theiractivities. As in the household, they also

organize various rituals for their rice fromthe very beginning of land cultivation until by

the harvest.

of water subscription. Measurement unit of watersubscription is called tektek. This measurement isproportional to the extent of rice field so there willbe no rice field having surplus of water or on thecontrary. For instance, one hectare of land in theupper stream may need ½ tektek, while at down-stream will need 1 tektek. This happens due to dis-parity of water discharge.

Other than water subscription, there is also mu-tual assistance work. Let’s assume the subscriptionrate is IDR 10,000 per tektek. If a farmer subscribesfor 1 tektek and he attends the mutual works, he isunnecessary to pay. However, when he uses morethan 1 tektek he should pay the excess pursuant tothe rate.

In relation to water subscription, there are alsosome penalties. If a subak member cannot meet thetime limit of planting rice or proven to have stolenwater, his water subscription for the ongoing plant-ing season will be terminated or just imposed withparticular fines. Some practices may slightly varyfrom one subak to another.

Meanwhile, if you happen to see a sign of bam-boo stem or tree branch plugged onto the bund ofrice field and tied with some grasses near its upperend it is called sawen. It is used to convey a prohibi-tion. Probably, it prohibits others from mowing grassas farmer just sprayed the paddy or the grass itselfwill be cut by its owner. Or if it is plugged on theclean up area of rice field, it stands for that peoplemay not step foot into it to take snail or eel at night.

Hopefully, your adventure to rice field could be-come a memorable one and see more than verdantrice field, colorful birds and farmers’ activities. Be-sides, you can enrich the experience on seeing thehabits and activities of local farmers. Nice rice ter-race may be found at other places around the globe,but uniqueness of subak as above can only be en-countered in Bali. It is an indigenous wisdom inher-ited from more than one thousand years ago. Comeand be one of the witnesses to see this surviving an-cient agricultural tradition!

ER first official jobwith a hotel industry

was at La Taverna Bali Ho-tel – Sanur as a Junior Secre-tary. Within 8 month, she waspromoted to the position asExecutive Secretary. She hadto learn things in a very fastspace, especially communi-cating and writing in English.During her time as ExecutiveSecretary, she was givenmany additional opportuni-ties to learn other section ofthe hotel. In 2007, she wasgiven the opportunity, pro-moted to the position as Ad-ministrative/Coordinating

Dayu Basmiari, EAM – The Breezes Bali Resort and Spa:

“There are Three Important Subjects in the Hotel Industry”At first she was guided

to take Civil Engineeringby her family. After

having 3 years in CivilEngineering, then she

realized what she reallywanted to do. She had

dream that always beendoing Public Relation

(PR) in a Hotel. There-fore, she graduated in PR

Diploma.

Assistant. This job basicallyinvolves around PR, Market-ing, Special Function, Coor-dinating VIP clients, organiz-ing the Spa and Assisting theGM with his admin work.During that time, she reallyenjoyed it and most of thetime 8 hours a day was neverenough. Sadly, she left LaTaverna with a lot of happi-ness because she was expect-ing her second child and shetook time off from work tohave my son.

In June 2010 she started towork again as PA at CEOHatten Wine Bali. Not for along time, then she got a callfrom her previous boss theGM at La Taverna, Mr. PrabaManiam who is now GM ofthe Breezes Bali Resort andSpa. His instructions werevery simple “Drop whateveryou are doing, I am workingfor a great property, I wantyou to work with me”.

“The next things I know, Iwas given responsibilities ofbeen the EAM of The BreezesBali Resort and Spa. The main

areas of my responsibilitiesare PR, Marketing and Pro-motions as well I oversee thePersonnel Department, GuestActivity Department and TheSpa. Besides this, TheBreezes Bali Resort and Spawill be going through majorrefurbishment of the rooms,renovation of the restaurantand spa, I assist the GM onthis project. In a strange way,having done 3 years at CivilEngineering is definitelyhelping me because I under-stand faster and better for thisproject”, said the women whoalso active as a member ofSKAL Bali.

When asked about tourismin Bali, she suggested thatserious thought should begiven to ecosystem, social-izing the business and peopleof better improving disposalgarbage, tighten securitysystem, a constructive planof providing sufficient waterand electricity. For her, thoseare going to play a big partwith the toursm industry.She also added that to make

guest love your property andbecome repeater clients, firstof all there are 3 importantsubjects in the hotel indus-try; the owners as an inves-

tor, the staff that make theteam, the guest – the soul ofthe business. “When the 3subjects are in good har-mony, everything else willfall into place and guest willkeep on coming back againand again. The same princi-pal of Hinduism Tri HitaKarana,” she said.

HERE are people that come and go. There are day andnight. Thus, the Hindu philosophy known as Rwa Bhineda(basic dualism) tells. After the death of Beratha Ashrama

bringing to reach many outstanding achievements, now Bali TravelNews (BTN), the tourism publi-cation in Bali, has a new skipper.This man from Gianyar joined inBali Post Media Group about 18years ago. Journalism tasks hadtaken him to roam around theworld like to the United States,Germany, China, Japan, Austra-lia and some ASEAN countries.

In building the strength of tour-ism, cooperation is one of the pri-mary keys. Let’s build Bali!!

S a result from some desk researchI discovered that there has been ameeting of Dutch and Balinese

tourism experts on Bali in 2002. Purposeof the meeting was to create a toolkit forthe development and promotion of sustain-able tourism in Asia. As a basis for thistoolkit the Dutch proposed the concept ofPeople, Planet, Profit that aims at findinga balance between this triangle. The Ba-linese, however, proposed the Tri HitaKarana (THK) as a different concept forsustainable tourism development that aimsat finding a balance between the social, thespiritual and natural environment.

The most striking conclusion of thatmeeting was that sustainable tourism inBali could only be effective based on theBalinese THK philosophy. The westernconcept neglects spirituality and was con-sidered too materialistic. It is a pity thatsince then little has happened on Bali topromote THK with the exception of theambitious program of THK Awards andAccreditations that promotes the THK asa reference for sustainable tourism devel-opment. The book BALI IS BALI FOR-EVER: Sustainable in the Framework ofTri Hita Karana should be a ‘must’ in thecurriculum of universities and hotelschools. This way students will get an up-to-date insight into the THK as frame ofreference for tourism development on Bali.

Recognizing that Bali is a privi-leged island with this philosophy of THKthat is deeply rooted in Hindu belief and

Community-Based Tourism (3)This development is not competitivewith the hotel industry; on the contrary,it can be seen as complimentary. That’swhy smart hotels are more than willing

to support community-based tourism.

recognizing that this concept is the ori-gin of all activities on Bali, now it is timeto face the crucial challenge of how toimplement community-based tourism(CBT). The fact that opinions on CBTamong tourism experts differ widelyis creating confusion and doesn’t makethings easier. It is really impossible todiscover the outline of CBT in thishotchpotch of conflicting and unclearreasoning. Let me describe in simpleterms what to my opinion the high-lights of this emerging concept of CBTare. Keep it simple is what I havelearned in life. If you need many wordsto promote something, it is in mostcases not very convincing.

CBT is a branch of tourism thatopens a perspective to enhance welfareamong the people in the villages in therural or mountainous areas that up till nowdo not benefit from tourism. Tourism onBali has been booming in the past, butbenefited mainly the people in the southof Bali, while the villages in the rural ar-eas were excluded from these benefits.This is felt as unfair and in conflict withthe THK. Inequality of welfare puts pres-sure on the solidarity among the peopleof Bali. Officials of the poor district ofKarangasem expressed this feelingfrankly by saying that tourism develop-ment on Bali is out of balance, focusingonly on southern Bali, while northern andeastern Bali remained dry. All this timetourists traveling to Karangasem just

made sanitary stops for urinating anddefecating, while they laid a golden eggin Denpasar or Badung!

Bali is ranking high on the list ofpopular tourism destinations because ofits many attractions such as its nicebeaches, exciting waves and amazingsunset and sunrise. But keep in mind thatthe uniqueness of Bali has all to do withthe THK, in which balance and harmonyin life play such important roles. Touristswill no doubt enjoy their stay in a beauti-ful hotel along the beach, but the full at-tractiveness of Bali can only be discov-ered if a stroll on the beach is comple-mented with a trip to the villages in thehinterland. There, tourists will be inspiredby the spirituality and culture, a journeyof life that is so much more than just asummer holiday.

In developing CBT, villages andhotels are like twins; they have their ownidentity but share a common interest,which is optimizing Bali’s appeal to tour-ists, thus generating welfare for Bali andits people. Although hotels and villageshave their own responsibility, they still areinterrelated and focused on each other.Success in either hotel industry or CBTwill influence the image of tourism as awhole or in other words if one of thesesectors has problems, it will be negativefor the other as well. So cooperation be-tween hotels and villages is logical and asone team they will be able to build a strongand effective CBT. Together, hotel indus-try and CBT will reach the top of themountain of tourism. Individually eachwill not get higher than halfway the moun-tain and that would be a strategic blunder.

Still some people claim that ho-tels and villages are competitors andthat hotels would be stupid to cooper-ate with the villages to implement CBT.

I even heard a general manager of abig 5-star beach hotel protesting CBTbecause he believes guests, who slipout of this hotel for a journey of life inthe village, will not come back to hishotel. In his opinion it would thereforebe contra-productive to support CBT.I generally respect someone’s opinion,in this case however I feel, I am sorryto say, that this GM is really stupid andit would be best to replace him bysomeone else who is strategically morequalified and less short minded.

Hotels and tour operators are theallies of villages that have decided to de-velop CBT. This is not a pact of charity,but much more a question of a win-winsituation for all, although at first glanceit might not seem that way. The advan-tage for hotels is that they can offer theirguests an attractive and varied packageincluding a visit to the hinterland. Thiscould be considered an extra service tothe guests. Instead of a defensive reac-tion like the one from the GM just men-tioned one might expect a more proac-tive and positive reaction form the hotelmanagers, one that will help developCBT as a complementary experience towhat they themselves have to offer. Iwould strongly welcome a sponsoringrole by the hotels in the south for the de-velopment of CBT in the villages.

Off course, the village should beleading and is the primary stakeholder, buthotels and tour operators should be mem-bers of the strategic team that supervisesthe operational process. The first task ofthis strategic team under the chairmanshipof the village-head is to prepare an actionplan for successful implementation ofCBT. For CBT to be successful, deliver-ing benefits to the spiritual, social and en-vironmental elements of the village, a few

principle conditions have to be taken intoaccount. They should be explicitly formu-lated and agreed upon at the start.

First of all THK has to be recog-nized as the umbrella under which CBThas to be built. Next enhancement of wel-fare among the people of the village; thepreservation of culture (desa adat); theconservation of nature and the develop-ment of human resources potential, needto be acknowledged as the main objec-tives of CBT.

In cooperation with the hotels, thevillages should develop an attractiveproposition for tourists that is based onthe unique characteristics of each village.The village is then in the position to makean operational plan that details all thepreparations necessary to implement CBT.Again, the hotels should support this bygiving proper advice on all sorts of aspectsof management like requirements forrooms, sanitary conditions, level of ser-vice and F&B.

To my opinion management willbe the bottleneck for a successful imple-mentation of CBT in the village. But Ipresume that the village has enough po-tential that will provide the right man, onthe right place, on the right time. Peopleon Bali love the village they come fromand it will be felt as an honor to servetheir own village. Wherever Balinesepeople live and work, indissoluble tiesalways bind them. As I see how youngBalinese who work on a cruise line, stillfeel responsible for their family and sendpart of their salary home, I feel confi-dent that the village-head, as represen-tative of the village, will be able to tapin to this potential of human resourcesbeyond the borders of the village.

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.

ENPASAR - Incommemoration of the

World Tourism Day, the BaliGovernment Tourism Officeheld a variety of activitiesincluding mutual assistance byinvolving all civil servants in thecircle of Bali GovernmentTourism Office and TourismAssociation, Friday (Sep 24).

The Head of BaliGovernment Tourism Office,Ida Bagus Kade Subhiksu,accompanied by the SecretaryI.G.A. Ambari said that variousproblems had threatened thetourism sector in the recent

Tourism becomes one of the sectors most affected byclimate change due to global warming. If not antici-

pated accordingly, it will eventually harm the countriesbecoming the tourism destination, particularly the

countries in the ASEAN region.

According to Laksaguna,the impact of climate changemostly felt by tourism sectorwas in the motif change of tour-ists. For instance, tourists hav-ing great concern about the en-vironment would select the des-tination countries having greatcare about environment. In ad-dition, the considerable concernwas the impact on travelerschoosing not to take long haultravel because the long-distancetransport was considered as thecontributor to pollution.

“Tourists are very con-cerned about the environ-ment until canceling theirlong-haul flights. Tour opera-tors also received a lot ofquestions from tourists pre-ferring to choose hotels thatcare about the environment.These symptoms have oc-curred rampantly,” he said.

Countries in the ASEAN

region becoming the worldtourist destination, he said,would have to think of solu-tions to anticipate the impactof climate change. For thatpurpose, in the workshop fo-rum, the participating del-egates exchanged ideas anddelivered their solutions. Inessence, the ASEAN countrieswanted to move together, for-mulate the concepts and findout the solutions to the impactof climate change, particularlyin the field of tourism.

The Workshop on De-veloping the Policy Frame-work for the ASEAN Tour-ism Standards in Respondingto the Climate Change wasattended by eight ASEANcountries. They were Cambo-dia, Indonesia, Myanmar,Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam,the Philippines and Laos.

In the meantime,Laksaguna added that the re-sults of the workshop wouldbe incorporated into theASEAN Tourism StrategicPlan. (BTN/KMB)

To Resolve Congestion in UbudStakeholders Agree to Build Bus StopsGianyar Regency Government together with the

community empowerment agency (LPM) of Ubud, tourismassociations and tourism stakeholders in Ubud area

agreed to build a bus stop for shuttle bus in Ubud tourismarea. The agreement was reached at a meeting led by theRegent of Gianyar along with the Gianyar Transportation,

Informatics and Communication Services, Gianyar Police,public order agency (Pol PP), LPM Ubud, associations andperpetrators of Ubud tourism association in Wantilan Hall

of Dalem Temple, Ubud Royal Palace not long ago.

Head’s Office, Ubud WantilanHall, Puri Lukisan Museum andin front of Neka Museum.

“As an alternative solutionto resolve the problems of thechaotic traffic in Ubud area, es-pecially during December, it willbe made bus stops to embark anddisembark passengers in Ubudarea,” said the Regent ofGianyar, Tjokorda Oka ArthaArdhana Sukawati. The Regent,who is also Chairman of the In-donesia Hotel and RestaurantAssociation (PHRI) of BaliChapter, added that such alter-native solution would be used asa pilot project to address the traf-fic congestion in Ubud. If the so-lution ran effectively, it would becontinued to some places inUbud area, while continuing toevaluate with relevant parties

and institutions. The endeavor ofGianyar Regency to build a busstop in Ubud area received apositive response from commu-nity figures, tourism associationsand tourism businesspeople inUbud area.

A statement of the supportcame from Cokorda NgurahSuyadnya from LPM Ubud. CokWah, who is also the Chief of Cus-tomary Security (Pecalang) ofUbud, expected the establishmentof bus stops could reduce the traf-fic congestion in Ubud. In addition,Cok Wah reminded that in theimplementation and supervision therelated officials should act deci-sively and impartially. Apart fromthe control against the embarkingand disembarking of passengers, theuse of road for parking also got at-tention from the officials.

Meanwhile, Chairman ofthe PHRI Gianyar, DewaArimbawa, was glad to welcomethe existence of such bus stops.He also reminded when theproject had been running forsome time it should be continuedby evaluation. On that account,

the effectiveness and drawbacksof the project could become oneof the alternatives to overcomethe traffic congestion elsewhere.

In response to the initiative,the Head of Gianyar Transporta-tion, Informatics and Communi-cation Services, Ida Bagus GagaAdisaputra, would immediatelyfollow up by the installation oftraffic signs and coordination withthe party of Ubud customary vil-lage. In addition, Gus Gaga alsoconveyed that the agreementcould be followed up by tourismbusinesspeople by disseminating

it to drivers of hotels and res-taurants respectively.

Ultimately, Gus Gaga re-quested the cooperation of allcommunities and road users inUbud to comply it. Withoutthe support and awareness ofthe community and road us-ers in Ubud, the project cer-tainly could not run well asexpected. (BTN/014)

Oct 08 - 21, 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.

ENPASAR - Incommemoration of the

World Tourism Day, the BaliGovernment Tourism Officeheld a variety of activitiesincluding mutual assistance byinvolving all civil servants in thecircle of Bali GovernmentTourism Office and TourismAssociation, Friday (Sep 24).

The Head of BaliGovernment Tourism Office,Ida Bagus Kade Subhiksu,accompanied by the SecretaryI.G.A. Ambari said that variousproblems had threatened thetourism sector in the recent

Tourism becomes one of the sectors most affected byclimate change due to global warming. If not antici-

pated accordingly, it will eventually harm the countriesbecoming the tourism destination, particularly the

countries in the ASEAN region.

According to Laksaguna,the impact of climate changemostly felt by tourism sectorwas in the motif change of tour-ists. For instance, tourists hav-ing great concern about the en-vironment would select the des-tination countries having greatcare about environment. In ad-dition, the considerable concernwas the impact on travelerschoosing not to take long haultravel because the long-distancetransport was considered as thecontributor to pollution.

“Tourists are very con-cerned about the environ-ment until canceling theirlong-haul flights. Tour opera-tors also received a lot ofquestions from tourists pre-ferring to choose hotels thatcare about the environment.These symptoms have oc-curred rampantly,” he said.

Countries in the ASEAN

region becoming the worldtourist destination, he said,would have to think of solu-tions to anticipate the impactof climate change. For thatpurpose, in the workshop fo-rum, the participating del-egates exchanged ideas anddelivered their solutions. Inessence, the ASEAN countrieswanted to move together, for-mulate the concepts and findout the solutions to the impactof climate change, particularlyin the field of tourism.

The Workshop on De-veloping the Policy Frame-work for the ASEAN Tour-ism Standards in Respondingto the Climate Change wasattended by eight ASEANcountries. They were Cambo-dia, Indonesia, Myanmar,Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam,the Philippines and Laos.

In the meantime,Laksaguna added that the re-sults of the workshop wouldbe incorporated into theASEAN Tourism StrategicPlan. (BTN/KMB)

To Resolve Congestion in UbudStakeholders Agree to Build Bus StopsGianyar Regency Government together with the

community empowerment agency (LPM) of Ubud, tourismassociations and tourism stakeholders in Ubud area

agreed to build a bus stop for shuttle bus in Ubud tourismarea. The agreement was reached at a meeting led by theRegent of Gianyar along with the Gianyar Transportation,

Informatics and Communication Services, Gianyar Police,public order agency (Pol PP), LPM Ubud, associations andperpetrators of Ubud tourism association in Wantilan Hall

of Dalem Temple, Ubud Royal Palace not long ago.

Head’s Office, Ubud WantilanHall, Puri Lukisan Museum andin front of Neka Museum.

“As an alternative solutionto resolve the problems of thechaotic traffic in Ubud area, es-pecially during December, it willbe made bus stops to embark anddisembark passengers in Ubudarea,” said the Regent ofGianyar, Tjokorda Oka ArthaArdhana Sukawati. The Regent,who is also Chairman of the In-donesia Hotel and RestaurantAssociation (PHRI) of BaliChapter, added that such alter-native solution would be used asa pilot project to address the traf-fic congestion in Ubud. If the so-lution ran effectively, it would becontinued to some places inUbud area, while continuing toevaluate with relevant parties

and institutions. The endeavor ofGianyar Regency to build a busstop in Ubud area received apositive response from commu-nity figures, tourism associationsand tourism businesspeople inUbud area.

A statement of the supportcame from Cokorda NgurahSuyadnya from LPM Ubud. CokWah, who is also the Chief of Cus-tomary Security (Pecalang) ofUbud, expected the establishmentof bus stops could reduce the traf-fic congestion in Ubud. In addition,Cok Wah reminded that in theimplementation and supervision therelated officials should act deci-sively and impartially. Apart fromthe control against the embarkingand disembarking of passengers, theuse of road for parking also got at-tention from the officials.

Meanwhile, Chairman ofthe PHRI Gianyar, DewaArimbawa, was glad to welcomethe existence of such bus stops.He also reminded when theproject had been running forsome time it should be continuedby evaluation. On that account,

the effectiveness and drawbacksof the project could become oneof the alternatives to overcomethe traffic congestion elsewhere.

In response to the initiative,the Head of Gianyar Transporta-tion, Informatics and Communi-cation Services, Ida Bagus GagaAdisaputra, would immediatelyfollow up by the installation oftraffic signs and coordination withthe party of Ubud customary vil-lage. In addition, Gus Gaga alsoconveyed that the agreementcould be followed up by tourismbusinesspeople by disseminating

it to drivers of hotels and res-taurants respectively.

Ultimately, Gus Gaga re-quested the cooperation of allcommunities and road users inUbud to comply it. Withoutthe support and awareness ofthe community and road us-ers in Ubud, the project cer-tainly could not run well asexpected. (BTN/014)

According to him, the coop-eration and economic relationsbetween China and Indonesiahad been developing very rap-idly in various sectors. Espe-cially for the local economy ofBadung, such cooperation hadbeen developed through tourismsector. Later on, marketing ofthe craft products posed a fur-ther effort to enhance the eco-nomic benefits of the economicand trade relations between thetwo countries for the sake ofBadung people.

“In keeping with the progressof China’s economy growingstronger, and even now ranked thesecond in the world, then the pur-chasing power of the communityis getting larger. As a result, moreand more Chinese citizens trav-eled overseas and collected vari-ous objects of art.

S a result from some desk researchI discovered that there has been ameeting of Dutch and Balinese

tourism experts on Bali in 2002. Purposeof the meeting was to create a toolkit forthe development and promotion of sustain-able tourism in Asia. As a basis for thistoolkit the Dutch proposed the concept ofPeople, Planet, Profit that aims at findinga balance between this triangle. The Ba-linese, however, proposed the Tri HitaKarana (THK) as a different concept forsustainable tourism development that aimsat finding a balance between the social, thespiritual and natural environment.

The most striking conclusion of thatmeeting was that sustainable tourism inBali could only be effective based on theBalinese THK philosophy. The westernconcept neglects spirituality and was con-sidered too materialistic. It is a pity thatsince then little has happened on Bali topromote THK with the exception of theambitious program of THK Awards andAccreditations that promotes the THK asa reference for sustainable tourism devel-opment. The book BALI IS BALI FOR-EVER: Sustainable in the Framework ofTri Hita Karana should be a ‘must’ in thecurriculum of universities and hotelschools. This way students will get an up-to-date insight into the THK as frame ofreference for tourism development on Bali.

Recognizing that Bali is a privi-leged island with this philosophy of THKthat is deeply rooted in Hindu belief and

Community-Based Tourism (3)This development is not competitivewith the hotel industry; on the contrary,it can be seen as complimentary. That’swhy smart hotels are more than willing

to support community-based tourism.

recognizing that this concept is the ori-gin of all activities on Bali, now it is timeto face the crucial challenge of how toimplement community-based tourism(CBT). The fact that opinions on CBTamong tourism experts differ widelyis creating confusion and doesn’t makethings easier. It is really impossible todiscover the outline of CBT in thishotchpotch of conflicting and unclearreasoning. Let me describe in simpleterms what to my opinion the high-lights of this emerging concept of CBTare. Keep it simple is what I havelearned in life. If you need many wordsto promote something, it is in mostcases not very convincing.

CBT is a branch of tourism thatopens a perspective to enhance welfareamong the people in the villages in therural or mountainous areas that up till nowdo not benefit from tourism. Tourism onBali has been booming in the past, butbenefited mainly the people in the southof Bali, while the villages in the rural ar-eas were excluded from these benefits.This is felt as unfair and in conflict withthe THK. Inequality of welfare puts pres-sure on the solidarity among the peopleof Bali. Officials of the poor district ofKarangasem expressed this feelingfrankly by saying that tourism develop-ment on Bali is out of balance, focusingonly on southern Bali, while northern andeastern Bali remained dry. All this timetourists traveling to Karangasem just

made sanitary stops for urinating anddefecating, while they laid a golden eggin Denpasar or Badung!

Bali is ranking high on the list ofpopular tourism destinations because ofits many attractions such as its nicebeaches, exciting waves and amazingsunset and sunrise. But keep in mind thatthe uniqueness of Bali has all to do withthe THK, in which balance and harmonyin life play such important roles. Touristswill no doubt enjoy their stay in a beauti-ful hotel along the beach, but the full at-tractiveness of Bali can only be discov-ered if a stroll on the beach is comple-mented with a trip to the villages in thehinterland. There, tourists will be inspiredby the spirituality and culture, a journeyof life that is so much more than just asummer holiday.

In developing CBT, villages andhotels are like twins; they have their ownidentity but share a common interest,which is optimizing Bali’s appeal to tour-ists, thus generating welfare for Bali andits people. Although hotels and villageshave their own responsibility, they still areinterrelated and focused on each other.Success in either hotel industry or CBTwill influence the image of tourism as awhole or in other words if one of thesesectors has problems, it will be negativefor the other as well. So cooperation be-tween hotels and villages is logical and asone team they will be able to build a strongand effective CBT. Together, hotel indus-try and CBT will reach the top of themountain of tourism. Individually eachwill not get higher than halfway the moun-tain and that would be a strategic blunder.

Still some people claim that ho-tels and villages are competitors andthat hotels would be stupid to cooper-ate with the villages to implement CBT.

I even heard a general manager of abig 5-star beach hotel protesting CBTbecause he believes guests, who slipout of this hotel for a journey of life inthe village, will not come back to hishotel. In his opinion it would thereforebe contra-productive to support CBT.I generally respect someone’s opinion,in this case however I feel, I am sorryto say, that this GM is really stupid andit would be best to replace him bysomeone else who is strategically morequalified and less short minded.

Hotels and tour operators are theallies of villages that have decided to de-velop CBT. This is not a pact of charity,but much more a question of a win-winsituation for all, although at first glanceit might not seem that way. The advan-tage for hotels is that they can offer theirguests an attractive and varied packageincluding a visit to the hinterland. Thiscould be considered an extra service tothe guests. Instead of a defensive reac-tion like the one from the GM just men-tioned one might expect a more proac-tive and positive reaction form the hotelmanagers, one that will help developCBT as a complementary experience towhat they themselves have to offer. Iwould strongly welcome a sponsoringrole by the hotels in the south for the de-velopment of CBT in the villages.

Off course, the village should beleading and is the primary stakeholder, buthotels and tour operators should be mem-bers of the strategic team that supervisesthe operational process. The first task ofthis strategic team under the chairmanshipof the village-head is to prepare an actionplan for successful implementation ofCBT. For CBT to be successful, deliver-ing benefits to the spiritual, social and en-vironmental elements of the village, a few

principle conditions have to be taken intoaccount. They should be explicitly formu-lated and agreed upon at the start.

First of all THK has to be recog-nized as the umbrella under which CBThas to be built. Next enhancement of wel-fare among the people of the village; thepreservation of culture (desa adat); theconservation of nature and the develop-ment of human resources potential, needto be acknowledged as the main objec-tives of CBT.

In cooperation with the hotels, thevillages should develop an attractiveproposition for tourists that is based onthe unique characteristics of each village.The village is then in the position to makean operational plan that details all thepreparations necessary to implement CBT.Again, the hotels should support this bygiving proper advice on all sorts of aspectsof management like requirements forrooms, sanitary conditions, level of ser-vice and F&B.

To my opinion management willbe the bottleneck for a successful imple-mentation of CBT in the village. But Ipresume that the village has enough po-tential that will provide the right man, onthe right place, on the right time. Peopleon Bali love the village they come fromand it will be felt as an honor to servetheir own village. Wherever Balinesepeople live and work, indissoluble tiesalways bind them. As I see how youngBalinese who work on a cruise line, stillfeel responsible for their family and sendpart of their salary home, I feel confi-dent that the village-head, as represen-tative of the village, will be able to tapin to this potential of human resourcesbeyond the borders of the village.

fter planting rice, there are series of activi-ties to maintain their paddies. As a socio-religious organization, subak community

treats their paddy as human by providing them withlife-cycle rituals. After cleaning up the weeds, farm-ers will perform ngulapin to regain the spirit or con-sciousness of paddies. Then, 42 days after the kick-off ritual (only one member selected to do this), theyorganize collective ritual at subak temple resumedwith one-day of silence or nyepi. During which, noone may do activities in the rice field.

When the paddy has got ‘pregnant’ or is going tobloom, farmer will perform miseh ritual. Striking con-tent of this oblation is assorted sour fruits and smallpenjor (bamboo log or midrib of sugar palm) installedadjacent to the upstream shrine. As on human, thesour fruits mean to strengthen the pregnancy and ex-pected the entire grains could produce rice. Whenthe rice turns yellow, it is time for the last ritualmabiyukukung marked with the use of basket madeof plaited green coconut leaf. This ritual is resumedwith the selection of rice known as Dewa Nini. Byand large, it amounts to a handful of rice stalk thatwill be given offering in post-harvest ritual at ricegranary.

In technical matters, the subak regularly checkstheir water divider or temuku before entering the newplanting season. Due to natural process and waterflows, its condition may have changed. Subak ad-ministrators will calibrate the measurement of temuku(if made of wooden log) pursuant to the record book

Verdant Rice Field:

A Playground ofBirds and Hikers

Having a promenade or watching birds atverdant rice field in Bali is very exciting.Aside from seeing nice rice terrace andbeautiful birds, you may also encounter

farmers being absorbed in completing theiractivities. As in the household, they also

organize various rituals for their rice fromthe very beginning of land cultivation until by

the harvest.

of water subscription. Measurement unit of watersubscription is called tektek. This measurement isproportional to the extent of rice field so there willbe no rice field having surplus of water or on thecontrary. For instance, one hectare of land in theupper stream may need ½ tektek, while at down-stream will need 1 tektek. This happens due to dis-parity of water discharge.

Other than water subscription, there is also mu-tual assistance work. Let’s assume the subscriptionrate is IDR 10,000 per tektek. If a farmer subscribesfor 1 tektek and he attends the mutual works, he isunnecessary to pay. However, when he uses morethan 1 tektek he should pay the excess pursuant tothe rate.

In relation to water subscription, there are alsosome penalties. If a subak member cannot meet thetime limit of planting rice or proven to have stolenwater, his water subscription for the ongoing plant-ing season will be terminated or just imposed withparticular fines. Some practices may slightly varyfrom one subak to another.

Meanwhile, if you happen to see a sign of bam-boo stem or tree branch plugged onto the bund ofrice field and tied with some grasses near its upperend it is called sawen. It is used to convey a prohibi-tion. Probably, it prohibits others from mowing grassas farmer just sprayed the paddy or the grass itselfwill be cut by its owner. Or if it is plugged on theclean up area of rice field, it stands for that peoplemay not step foot into it to take snail or eel at night.

Hopefully, your adventure to rice field could be-come a memorable one and see more than verdantrice field, colorful birds and farmers’ activities. Be-sides, you can enrich the experience on seeing thehabits and activities of local farmers. Nice rice ter-race may be found at other places around the globe,but uniqueness of subak as above can only be en-countered in Bali. It is an indigenous wisdom inher-ited from more than one thousand years ago. Comeand be one of the witnesses to see this surviving an-cient agricultural tradition!

She hadto learn things in a very fastspace, especially communi-cating and writing in English.During her time as ExecutiveSecretary, she was givenmany additional opportuni-ties to learn other section ofthe hotel. In 2007, she wasgiven the opportunity, pro-moted to the position as Ad-ministrative/Coordinating

“There are Three Important Subjects in the Hotel Industry”At first she was guided

to take Civil Engineeringby her family. After

having 3 years in CivilEngineering, then she

realized what she reallywanted to do. She had

dream that always beendoing Public Relation

Diploma.

Assistant. This job basicallyinvolves around PR, Market-ing, Special Function, Coor-dinating VIP clients, organiz-ing the Spa and Assisting theGM with his admin work.During that time, she reallyenjoyed it and most of thetime 8 hours a day was neverenough. Sadly, she left LaTaverna with a lot of happi-ness because she was expect-ing her second child and shetook time off from work tohave my son.

In June 2010 she started towork again as PA at CEOHatten Wine Bali. Not for along time, then she got a callfrom her previous boss theGM at La Taverna, Mr. PrabaManiam who is now GM ofthe Breezes Bali Resort andSpa. His instructions werevery simple “Drop whateveryou are doing, I am workingfor a great property, I wantyou to work with me”.

“The next things I know, Iwas given responsibilities ofbeen the EAM of The BreezesBali Resort and Spa. The main

areas of my responsibilitiesare PR, Marketing and Pro-motions as well I oversee thePersonnel Department, GuestActivity Department and TheSpa. Besides this, TheBreezes Bali Resort and Spawill be going through majorrefurbishment of the rooms,renovation of the restaurantand spa, I assist the GM onthis project. In a strange way,having done 3 years at CivilEngineering is definitelyhelping me because I under-stand faster and better for thisproject”, said the women whoalso active as a member ofSKAL Bali.

When asked about tourismin Bali, she suggested thatserious thought should begiven to ecosystem, social-izing the business and peopleof better improving disposalgarbage, tighten securitysystem, a constructive planof providing sufficient waterand electricity. For her, thoseare going to play a big partwith the toursm industry.She also added that to make

tor, the staff that make theteam, the guest – the soul ofthe business. “When the 3subjects are in good har-mony, everything else willfall into place and guest willkeep on coming back againand again. The same princi-pal of Hinduism Tri HitaKarana,” she said.

Initially, there were onlyfew people deeply involving inthis business. However, due to apromising prospect where thehigh demand for hotels and res-taurants made the owners of ricefield that originally cultivatedpaddy converted their professionto freshwater prawn aquaculture.As a result, the initiative to es-tablish a fishery group was in ef-fect.

ral scenery of plantation and agri-culture with other activities, such asenjoying the scenery around thetourist object while picking pine-apples, tomatoes, oranges and otherfruits. “And the current trend at thevillage is that visitors can do addi-tional activities such as hiking andcycling around the location ofagrotourism,” said the administra-tor of the Indonesia Hotel and Res-taurant Association (PHRI) ofBadung Chapter calmly.

Mayungan Hamlet also hadancestral cultural heritages such asChinese ceramics originated in theMing Dynasty times (thirteenth tofourteenth century), pieces ofslonding gamelan blades, buffer ofslonding blades, and the Okokanarts. The panoramic view of terraced

rice field combined with sunsetgenerated an interesting scene.Likewise, there were also touristattractions of Ngingil and CepungWaterfall that were no less inter-esting.

However, Eka added that theroad leading to the village stayedto become a significant constraint.Road access to the village was ex-tremely damaged and not worthyto be passed through. Then, con-necting bridge of Tohjiwa Villagein Badung Regency andTalangpati Village in Tabanan Re-gency had not been improved yetproperly. For this moment, theseobjects could only be reached bymotorcycle or four-wheeled pri-vate car because there was no pub-lic transport. (BTN/bud)

Bali representing Indonesia in the Dieppe KiteFestival 2010 in France at the end of last Septemberhad incised significant record in the world’s most pres-tigious competition.

The kite entitled Rangda designed by an architectMade Dwi Armika, 31, was named the best in the cat-egory of creation kite after defeating 42 other partici-pating countries. Category of creation kite was the mostfavorite in the biennial event that has been going onsince 30 years ago. Previously, this category was al-ways achieved by developed countries like the UnitedStates and the Netherlands with the technology-basedcreation.

According to Made Dwi Armika, who also ownsthe Guet Gallery in Sanur, the success of the designto beat the other participants was inseparable fromthe uniqueness of the concept applied. The kiteRangda was made of natural materials such as palmleaves, wood fiber and various grasses. In compari-son to the works of European and American coun-tries relying on the engineering technology and theart, the work of Armika even precisely revealed thesimplicity of media in use but it was intelligent in thematter of creative design. He said the concept pro-moted was in line with the message of global warm-ing becoming the central issue and concern in theworld today. The selection of Nature concept was in-separable from the structural and cultural life of theBalinese people upholding the Tri Hita Karana con-cept as a pillar of the universal balance toward a peace-ful and prosperous life.

Even though he had successfully attained an out-standing achievement, Armika was not easy to getthe ticket to attend such an international event. Start-ing from Sanur Village Festival 2010, he introduceda number of kite works featuring the Nature with aclear concept about saving the Earth from the threatof global warming. Uniqueness of the artistic con-cept and visualization had taken him to represent In-donesia and Asia in the Dieppe Kite Festival 2010.

“Initially, I became a participant who was not reck-oned among the participating countries. But aftergoing through the various qualifications and due tothe support and motivation of Nyoman Adnyana, 75,considered as director, they were finally impressedwith the concept I promoted,” said Armika after com-ing from roaming around Europe at the beginning ofthis October. His success to win one of the most pres-

tigious trophies had made him busy to prepare theexhibition for his next creations in Xienmen, China,in the middle of November 2010. Due to his achieve-ment, Armika automatically held the tickets to par-ticipate in the qualification of Dieppe Kite Festival2012 where for Asia would take place in Thailand.

The success of Armika at the same time posed thesuccess of Bali and Indonesia to inscribe the interna-tional victory that actually denoted an individual per-sistent struggle for his love to kite culture. Indeed, asa tourism attraction, Bali had an annual event like theKite Competition among the Hamlets and Commu-nities. However, this competition did not have a con-tinued agenda in the more dignified context.

By adopting various categories put into compe-tition in France, the kite competition in Bali couldactually be developed into a number of more at-tractive categories, such as combat category (col-liding kites), kite without frame (soft kite), and kiteinstallation with the involvement of the Balineseartists. The role of government should not be half-hearted and the competition usually conductedevery August should become the starting pointheading for a larger event. On that account, thekite lovers and creators got a wider medium oflearning and did not give impression to becomethe number one in their own arena only.

Belinda Cumington and ChrisSimpson had been come to Bali formany times. They already visited manyplaces there such as Ubud, Lovina, Gitgitwaterfall, Safari park, Tanah Lot andLegian. All of those places were attract-ing for them, especially Legian becausein there they could do their hobby whichin this case was shopping. Besides thegood things, there were still some thingsto be concerned in their opinion. Thosewere a lot of plastic bags on the street,traffic and slow service in airport. “Thegovernment should pay attention to theseproblems. If all the problems can besolved, so we think Bali will become oneof the greatest tourist destinations in theworld,” said those two women who alsoloved Indonesian foods.
