Abstract
In response to the increasing demands of tourism destinations, the
Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy under the mandate from
the Indonesian President in 2016 has initiated a mega project called
“Ten New Bali”. The areas of destination planned to be developed
are: Borobudur Temple in West Java, Mandalika in Lombok Island,
Labuan Bajo in Flores Island East Nusa Tenggara, Bromo-TenggerSemeru
in East Java, the Thousand Islands in North Jakarta, Toba
Lake in North Sumatra, Wakatobi in Southeast Sulawesi, Tanjung
Lesung in West Java, Morotai in North of Halmahera in maluku
Islands and Tanjung Kelayang in Belitung Sumatra. This initiation is
a summer breeze for some reasons knowing that Indonesia is
opening so many alternative channels for economic development
toward tourism. However, the concept of “Ten New Bali”, if it is
referred to the actual condition of what Bali is currently suffering
from at the moment, is a wake-up call for all participating social,
economy and environmental investigators to fully navigate the
projects from being staked out from a pull tourism destination’s
perspective. The study is intended to examine and elaborate strategic
answers toward the impacts on the enforcement of Indonesia’
tourism establishment particularly the aftermath likelihoods from the
initiation of “Ten New Bali”, starting with the issue of locals’
economic growth and leakages within their participation in tourism
development, and environmental quality’s degradation.
