Tourism in Indonesia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tourism in Indonesia is an important component of the Indonesian economy as well as a significant source of its foreign exchange revenues. The vast country of sprawling archipelago has much to offer; from natural beauty, historical heritage to cultural diversity. In 2012 the tourism sector contributes to around US$9 billion of foreign exchange, and is estimated will surpassed US$10 billion in 2013. The tourism sector ranked as the 4th largest among goods and services export sectors.
In year 2012, 8,044,462 international visitors entered Indonesia, staying in hotels for an average of 7.70 nights and spending an average of US$1,133.81 per person during their visit, or US$147.22 per person per day. Singapore, Malaysia, China, Australia, and Japan are the top five source of visitors to Indonesia.







Overview

Both nature and culture are major components of Indonesian tourism. The natural heritage can boast a unique combination of a tropical climate, a vast archipelago of 17,508 islands, 6,000 of them being inhabited,the third longest shoreline in the world (54,716 km) after Canada and the European Union. It is the worlds largest and most populous country situated only on islands.The beaches in Bali, diving sites in Bunaken, Mount Bromo in East Java, Lake Toba and various national parks in Sumatra are just a few examples of popular scenic destinations. These natural attractions are complemented by a rich cultural heritage that reflects Indonesia's dynamic history and ethnic diversity. One fact that exemplifies this richness is that 719 living languages are used across the archipelago.The ancientPrambanan and Borobudur temples, Toraja, Yogyakarta, Minangkabau, and of course Bali, with its many Hindu festivities, are some of the popular destinations for cultural tourism.
Tourism in Indonesia is currently overseen by the Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism.International tourism campaigns have been focusing largely on its tropical destinations with white sand beaches, blue sky, and cultural attractions. Beach resorts and hotels have been developed in some popular tourist destinations, especially Bali island as the primary destination. At the same time, the integration of cultural affairs and tourism under the scope of the same ministry shows that cultural tourism is considered an integral part of Indonesia's tourism industry, and conversely, that tourism is used to promote and preserve the cultural heritage.
Some of the challenges Indonesia's tourism industry has to face include the development of infrastructure to support tourism across the sprawling archipelago, incursions of the industry into local traditions (adat), and the impact of tourism development on the life of local people. The tourism industry in Indonesia has also faced setbacks due to problems related to security. Since 2002, warnings have been issued by some countries over terrorist threats and ethnic as well as religious conflicts in some areas, significantly reducing the number of foreign visitors for a few years. However, the number of international tourists has bounced back positively since 2007, and reached a new record in 2008 and then made a new record every year and in 2012 set at 8,044,462 foreign tourists.
In 2013, based on World Economic Forum survey, Indonesia got Tourism Competitiveness Index score 4.0 and rank at number 70 (up from number 74 in 2011 and number 81 in 2009) from 140 countries. Aspects that need to be improved in order to move up the rank ladder are; tourism and ICT infrastructures, health and hygiene, environmental sustainability, and affinity for travel and tourism.


Branding

Main article: Wonderful Indonesia



In late January 2011 Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik announced that "Wonderful Indonesia" would replace the previous “Visit Indonesia Year” branding used by the nations official tourism promotional campaigns, although the logo of stylized curves Garuda remain.[14] The minister announced that in 2010, foreign tourists visiting Indonesia touched 7 million and made predictions of 7.7 million in 2011. He was reported as describing the new branding as reflecting "the country’s beautiful nature, unique culture, varied food, hospitable people and price competitiveness. “We expect each tourist will spend around US$1,100 and with an optimistic target of 7.7 million arrivals, we will get $8.3 billion,” from this. The Culture and Tourism Minister added that 50 percent of the revenue would be generated from about 600 meetings, conventions and exhibitions that were expected to take place in various places throughout the country 2011. He further added in the announcements of January 2011 that his ministry would be promoting the country’s attractions under the eco-cultural banner.






context

The service and hospitality sector that linked to travel and leisure probably already exist since ancient Indonesia, especially ancient Java circa 8th century. Some panels in Borobudur bas-reliefs depicted drink vendors, warungs (small restaurant), and there is a building depicting people drinking, dancing and having fun, seems to describe tavern or lodging. The historical record about travel in Indonesia can be found since 14th century. The Nagarakretagama reported about King Hayam Wuruk's royal travel throughout Majapahit realm inEast Java with large numbers of carriages, accompanied by nobles, royal courtiers, officials and servants.Although it seems as stately affair, for some instances the king's journey is somewhat resembles modern day tour, as the king visited numbers of interesting places; from temples such as Palah and Jajawa, to enjoying mountain scenery, having bath in petirtaan (bathing pools) and beach. The 15th-century travelogue of Bujangga Manik, a travelling Hindu scholar-priest from Pakuan Pajajaran, reported about his travel around Java and Bali. Although his travel was a pilgrimage one; visiting temples and sacred places in Java and Bali, sometimes he behaves like a modern day tourist, such as sitting around fanning his body while enjoying beautiful mountain scenery in Puncak area, look upon Gede volcano that he describes as the highest point around Pakuan Pajajaran (capital of Sunda kingdom).
Initially the tourism, service and hospitality sector in Dutch East Indies were developed to cater the lodging, entertainment and leisure needs of domestic visitors, especially the wealthy Dutch plantation owners and merchants during their stay in the city. In the 19th century, colonial heritage hotels equipped with dance halls, live music and fine dining restaurants were established in Dutch East Indies urban areas, such as Hotel des Indes (est. 1829) in Batavia (now Jakarta), Savoy Homann Hotel (est. 1871) in Bandung, Hotel Oranje (est. 1910) in Surabaya, and Hotel De Boer in Medan. Since the 19th century Dutch East Indies has attracted visitors from The Netherlands. The first national tourism bureau was the Vereeeging Toeristen Verkeer, established by Governor General of Dutch East Indies in early 20th century, and shared their head office in Batavia with Koninklijke Nederlansch Indische Luchtfahrt Maatschapijj (part of KLM) that began to fly from Amsterdam to Batavia in 1929. In 1913, Vereeneging Touristen Verkeer wrote a guide book about tourism places in the Indies. Since then Bali become known to international tourist with foreign tourist arrivals rose for more than 100% in 1927. Much of the international tourism of the 1920s and 1930s was by international visitors on oceanic cruises. The 1930s did see a modest but significant influx of mainly European tourists and longer term stayers to Bali. Many came for the blossoming arts scene in the Ubud area, which was as much a two-way exchange between the Balinese and outsiders as it was an internal phenomenon.[24]
Tourism more or less disappeared during World War II, Indonesian National Revolution and in the early years of the Sukarno era. On 1 July 1947, the government of Republic of Indonesia tried to revive tourism sector in Indonesia by establishing HONET (Hotel National & Tourism) led by R. Tjitpo Ruslan. This new national tourism authority took over much of colonial heritage hotels in Java and all named as "Hotel Merdeka". After Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference in 1949, this tourism authority change its name to NV HORNET.In 1952 the President formed the Inter-Departement Committee on Tourism Affairs that responsible to explore the possibility to reestablish Indonesia as world's tourism destination.National pride and identity in the late 1950s and early 1960s was incorporated into the monumentalism of Sukarno in Jakarta— and this included the development of grand multi-storied international standard hotels and beach resorts, such as Hotel Indonesia in Jakarta (est. 1962), Ambarrukmo Hotel in Yogyakarta (est. 1965), Samudra Beach Hotel in Pelabuhan Ratu beach West Java (est. 1966), and Inna Grand Bali Beach Hotel in Bali (est. 1966). The political and economic instability of the mid-1960s saw tourism decline radically again. Bali, and in particular the small village of Kuta, was however, in the 1960s, an important stopover on the overland hippy trail between Australiaand Europe, and a "secret" untouched surf spot. In the early-to-mid-1970s, high standard hotels and tourist facilities began to appear in Jakarta and Bali. After the completion of Borobudur restoration project in 1982, Yogyakarta become a popular tourist attraction in Indonesia after Bali, mostly attracted to this 8th-century Buddhist monument, surrounding ancient Javanese temples and Yogyakarta Sultanate palace. From this period to the end of the Suharto era, governmental policies of the tourism industry included an array of regulations and developments to encourage increasing numbers of international tourists to both visit Indonesia and stay longer.

Lack of  tourism  in  Indonesia

That image does not depict the actual situation of Indonesia, but the chaotic image in the minds of international tourism community.

Insomnia-article-mrs.Anita



Insomnia bisa terjadi karena kebiasaan-kebiasaan buruk yang sering Anda lakukan sendiri. Bahkan kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang Anda pikir bisa menyembuhkan insomnia malah bisa jadi kebiasaan yang menjadi penyebab utama insomnia Anda. Dilansir dari rd.com, ada setidaknya 5 kebiasaan buruk yang menjadi penyebab insomnia.
1. Tidur dengan Jadwal yang Berubah-Ubah
Michael Breus, PhD seorang dokter ahli ilmu tentang tidur dan psikolog menyatakan bahwa, "Jika aku boleh memberi satu saran tidur, saya menyarankan untuk pergi tidur dan bangun pada jam yang sama setiap harinya." Ia juga menjelaskan bahwa tubuh kita pada dasarnya butuh konsistensi. Jadi, misalnya jika Anda tidur dan bangun siang di akhir pekan, maka untuk bisa tidur cepat di hari biasa akan menjadi lebih sulit.

2. Menggunakan Alat Elektronik Sebelum Tidur
Tidak semua alat elektronik itu buruk, tetapi kegiatan yang sangat interaktif dengan alat elektronik Anda seperti chatting di Facebook dengan ponsel Anda bisa membuat Anda lebih susah tidur. Kegiatan-kegiatan interaktif semacam ini bisa membuat otak kita tidak bisa diam dan akhirnya menyebabkan insomnia.

3. Memperhatikan Jam
"Hal paling buruk yang dilakukan saat tidak bisa tidur adalah memperhatikan jam," kata Breus. Ia menjelaskan bahwa saat kita melihat jam, kita akan langsung memikirkan tentang berapa jam lagi yang tersisa untuk bangun keesokan paginya. Hal ini akan memicu produksi kortisol dan adrenalin. Alhasil, Anda akan terjaga dan semakin sulit tidur.

4. Merasa Ada Kewajiban Tidur 8 Jam Sehari
Tidak semua orang dewasa butuh waktu persis 8 jam untuk tidur. Ada yang baru merasa segar jika tidur dalam waktu 9 jam. Ada juga yang sudah merasa segar meskipun baru tidur selama 6 jam. Ketika Anda bisa bangun tidur tanpa alarm dan tidak merasa lelah sepanjang hari, itulah waktu tidur yang cukup untuk Anda.

5. Tidak Memiliki Jam Tidur yang Pasti
Anda setidaknya harus memastikan pukul berapa Anda tidur di malam hari. Lalu, sisakan satu jam sebelum jam tidur Anda itu untuk melakukan sejumlah hal. Dalam waktu satu jam sebelum tidur, gunakan sepertiga jam pertama untuk menyelesaikan beberapa kewajiban. Lalu, gunakan sepertiga jam kedua untuk membersihkan tubuh seperti menggosok gigi dan ganti baju tidur. Di sepertiga jam terakhir, gunakan waktu untuk relaksasi.

kisah Putri Herlina-article-mrs.Anita

Sebuah cerita dari kisah seorang Putri Herlina, yang memberikan inspirasi dan motivasi tak hanya bagi dia dan istrinya, tetapi juga bagi pembaca blog serta banyak pembaca lain di Indonesia.



Pertemuan dengan pemilik 'tangan bidadari'
Pertemuan pertama Saptuari berawal Juni 2011 silam, di mana ia mendadak ingin main ke Panti Asuhan Sayap Ibu, Yogyakarta untuk sekedar menyapa dan melihat-lihat kondisi di sana. Di panti asuhan tersebut, bayi-bayi terlantar yang dibuang oleh orang tuanya ditampung, diberi kasih sayang dan dibesarkan 'bersama' oleh para pengasuh yayasan serta tangan-tangan 'Malaikat' yang kerap menyisihkan sedikit rejekinya untuk mereka.
Diperkenalkan dengan gadis manis berambut panjang dan berkulit putih yang punya senyum mengembang, Saptuari kemudian dibuat takjub terpesona. Gadis tersebut akrab dipanggil Lina, sudah lulus SMA, bisa komputer, bisa pakai jilbab sendiri, dan sekarang aktif membantu mengelola yayasan. Kedengarannya biasa saja bukan? Tetapi Anda harus 'melihat' juga apa yang membuat Saptuari takjub.

Lina dilahirkan tidak sempurna, demikian disebut orang-orang pada umumnya. Sejak kecil ia dibuang oleh orang tua yang entah siapa karena terlahir tanpa kedua tangan yang utuh. Namun, bila Anda melihatnya, Anda seperti tak menemukan kekurangan pada dirinya. Ia ceria, punya tatapan mata yang jernih, dan kepercayaan diri serta rasa syukur pada dirinya. Lina mengaku enggan dikasihani, dan ingin dipandang seperti wanita lain pada umumnya. 
"Aku sekolah di sekolah biasa mas, aku gak mau dikasihani, SMPku di sekolah Muhammadiyah biasa, SMAku juga, aku tidak minta meja khusus... kutulis semua dengan kakiku, bisa kok!" katanya tegas.

Bahkan Lina bilang bahwa ia pernah menjadi MC di Ambarukmo Plaza untuk sebuah acara anak-anak penyandang cacat. Baginya yang penting cuek dan bersikap biasa. Ia tidak ingin dikasihani, tidak ingin dibedakan dengan yang lain, mungkin itulah yang membuatnya kuat dan tegar selama ini.
Jodoh untuk Putri Herlina
Pada akhirnya, setiap manusia akan merindukan pendamping di dalam hidupnya. Yang tak hanya sekedar ada, tetapi yang membuat seseorang jadi lebih hidup dan memaknai hidup itu sendiri. Demikian pula seperti wanita lainnya, Putri Herlina rindu bertemu jodoh. Berangan-angan, akankah ia bisa menikah, dan hidup normal dalam kondisinya.
Wahai pemilik 'tangan bidadari', jodoh itu sudah diatur oleh Tuhan, dan untuk itulah jembatan doa harus selalu dipanjatkan agar lekas berdiri kokoh. Yang akan membuat jodoh semakin dekat denganmu.
"Aku pengen pergi dari panti ini mas, sudah 24 tahun aku di sini.. ingin rasanya untuk segera bisa mandiri. Aku membayangkan punya suami yang normal, walaupun kondisiku seperti ini, tapi ada gak ya yang bener-bener serius sama aku. Apa aku gak tau diri ya mas kalo ngarepin jodohku lelaki yang sempurna.. apa hidupku sampai tua hanya di panti ini ya mas, sendirian tiap hari di meja ini," kata Lina pada Saptuari yang kemudian dijawab dengan singkat dan penuh arti. "Ya banyakan berdoa aja Put, minta Allah langsung. Dia yang punya pabrik jodoh. Dia kan yang bisa mengubah segalanya."
Dan setiap bulan berlalu, Lina kerap bercerita tentang siapa-siapa saja pria yang mendekati dirinya. Ada pria yang ternyata sudah beristri, namun rajin mengunjunginya di panti, ada pula bule asal Kanada. Namun, jembatan jodoh yang sudah jadi itu pada akhirnya menuntun Lina pada jodoh yang sebenarnya...
Reza Somantri, pria ini adalah pria yang istimewa bagi Lina. Bukan karena ia adalah putra salah seorang petinggi Bank Indonesia dengan jabatan terakhir Deputi Gubernur, tetapi karena Reza adalah sosok sederhana yang bisa melihat kesempurnaan Lina yang sebenarnya.

Yogyakarta, 13 Oktober 2013
Sepasang insan ini meresmikan ikatan cintanya lewat pernikahan yang digelar secara sah di ruangan Balai Sinta. Dengan diiringi restu ayah bunda Reza, banjir air mata mewarnai momen mengharukan sekaligus membahagiakan ini.
Mulai dari acara sungkeman hingga naik ke pelaminan, setiap hati seolah memanjatkan doa bahagia pada mempelai berdua. Berharap bahwa kelak ada Lina-Lina lain yang punya semangat yang sama. Yang tak lekas menyerah dengan kondisi dan keadaan dirinya.
Terima kasih Putri Herlina, kau dan 'tangan bidadari'-mu telah menyentuh setiap hati, dan mengingatkan kami kembali akan kesempurnaan itu sendiri.

Assigment on April -Softskill-mrs.Anita

History of Candi Prambanan

There is a legend that Javanese people always tell about this temple. As the story tells, there was a man named Bandung Bondowoso who loved Roro Jonggrang. To refuse his love, Jonggrang asked Bondowoso to make her a temple with 1,000 statues only in one-night time. The request was nearly fulfilled when Jonggrang asked the villagers to pound rice and to set a fire in order to look like morning had broken. Feeling to be cheated, Bondowoso who only completed 999 statues cursed Jonggrang to be the thousandth statue.
Prambanan temple has three main temples in the primary yard, namely Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva temples. Those three temples are symbols of Trimurti in Hindu belief. All of them face to the east. Each main temple has accompanying temple facing to the west, namely Nandini for Shiva, Angsa for Brahma, and Garuda for Vishnu. Besides, there are 2 flank temples, 4 kelir temples and 4 corner temples. In the second area, there are 224 temples.
Entering Shiva temple, the highest temple and is located in the middle, you will find four rooms. One main room contains Shiva statue, while the other three rooms contain the statues of Durga (Shiva's wife), Agastya (Shiva's teacher), and Ganesha (Shiva's son). Durga statue is said to be the statue of Roro Jonggrang in the above legend.
In Vishnu temple, to the north of Shiva temple, you will find only one room with Vishnu statue in it. In Brahma temple, to the south of Shiva temple, you find only room as well with Brahma statue in it.
Quite attractive accompanying temple is Garuda temple that is located close to Vishnu temple. This temple keeps a story of half-bird human being named Garuda. Garuda is a mystical bird in Hindu mythology. The figure is of golden body, white face, red wings, with the beak and wings similar to eagle's. It is assumed that the figure is Hindu adaptation of Bennu (means 'rises' or 'shines') that is associated with the god of the Sun or Re in Old Egypt mythology or Phoenix in Old Greek mythology. Garuda succeeded in saving his mother from the curse of Aruna (Garuda's handicapped brother) by stealing Tirta Amerta (the sacred water of the gods).
Its ability to save her mother made many people admire it to the present time and it is used for various purposes. Indonesia uses the bird as the symbol of the country. Other country using the same symbol is Thailand, with the same reason but different form adaptation and appearance. In Thailand, Garuda is known as Krut or Pha Krut.
Prambanan also has panels of relief describing the story of Ramayana. Experts say that the relief is similar to the story of Ramayana that is told orally from generation to generation. Another interesting relief is Kalpataru tree that - in Hindu - the tree is considered tree of life, eternity and environment harmony. In Prambanan, relief of Kalpataru tree is described as flanking a lion. The presence of this tree makes experts consider that Javanese society in the ninth century had wisdom to manage its environment.

promiscuity-article-mrs.Anita

Promiscuity among adolescents 


We, who currently sits as a student should know that Indonesian teenagers are being threatened. Their future in jeopardy. Why do I say that? It is based on the fact that many young people in Indonesia have exceeded their age. At their young age, I often see them smoking, then there is plenty of data showing that they are pregnant outside of marriage because of the association .
The bad moral that we usually see nowadays is a motorcycle gang that do so many damage to public facilities; then there is another one that consistently performed by Indonesian teenagers, namely brawl.
Social relationships are things that must be maintained properly. for the friends we have not been able to sort out which ones are good and which are bad. So I invite educators are here to work together in order to guide our students to get the best moral education. When the moral education they get is in high quality, then I'm sure they will be able to avoid all forms of incitement moral evil out there.


So, we not only can get academic education. If we continue to focus only on academic education, moral education then the intensity will be reduced and we were not able to be smart including awesome.
it is better to give a few minutes to advise us, so that young people can gain enough morale. The division of the existing education system in the classroom should be 50:50. 50 percent is the academic education, while 50 percent is moral education. When this technique is followed consistently, I believe Indonesian students will be better in the future and promiscuity will be reduced.

             "Our Indonesia youth are virtuous character and noble for a bright future."

laskar pelangi-article-mrs.Anita

Laskar Pelangi


Laskar Pelangi (English: The Rainbow Troops) is a 2008 Indonesian film adapted from the popular same titled novel by Andrea Hirata. The movie follows a group of 10 schoolboys and their two inspirational teachers as they struggle with poverty and develop hopes for the future in Gantong Village on the farming and tin mining island of Belitung off the east coast of Sumatra. The film is the highest grossing in Indonesian box office history and won a number of local and international awards.

Synopsis :

The movie, set in the 1970s, opens on the first day of the year at a Muhammadiyah elementary school on Belitung. The school needs 10 students but is one short until near the end of the day, when a straggler fills out the ranks for their teachers, Muslimah and Harfan. Muslimah dubs the children "The Rainbow Troops" (sometimes translated as "The Rainbow Warriors") and the movie traces their development and relationships with the teachers.

Background and impact

The film "reportedly" cost 8 billion rupiah (US$890,000) to make and was a year in production. Most of the child actors in the film are from Belitung, and Producer Mira Lesmana explained that choice by saying: "In my opinion, there won't be any actors with a deeper connection to the roles than those who were born and lived in Belitong their entire life."
The Bangka Belitung Provincial government declared some of the locations used in the film as areas of importance to culture and tourism in 2010, and provincial tourism chief Yan Megawandi said the decision was "primarily" made to help raise funds for the Muhammadiyah elementary school on which the film and novel's story are centered.
The film's local and international success fueled a tourism boom on Belitung, with Indonesian airline Garuda reopening direct service from Jakarta to Tanjung Pandan, Belitung's capital. A provincial government official that month said he had no hard data on the increase in tourist arrivals as a result of the film, but said that nearly all seats on flights to the island from Jakarta were booked in the first week it was open and that most arrivals were asking about information on how to visit the film's locations.

note:
in my opinion is this movie reflects the many positive side,for example, the struggle for school spirit.
so not to waste the time available to achieve future goals.
