BIG PROBLEM IN BALI TOURISM

      One big problem in Bali is the inequality in the development of tourism in each region / province. Where in fact the strength of tourism in Bali only in focus in the area / region south of the island of Bali, which covers from Ubud, Denpasar and Badung. Where as in the northern region, tourism is only slightly developed, and is inversely related to tourism in the south. We have already started to appear due to problems of inequality in the development of tourism in Bali, the most visible example is, in economic terms.Masyarat in the south generally have sufficient income and are able to meet all the needs for survival, while in the northern region, although many high-income and unable to meet their needs, not least the poor, and even still many who are poor. It was very alarming to see the luxury tourism is very popular in many parts of the world, as well as the largest foreign exchange contributor to the economies of Indonesia, but there are still among the people who did not receive the blessings of tourism. If this is left unchecked, did not rule out the balance of economic and social culture in Bali can be threatened.

        Economic problems are particularly vulnerable in conflict and raises a new issue, for example, just a huge gap between the incomes of each district in Bali, the regency of Badung as a center of tourism in Bali has a very large income, and even more glorious center of the central government government in the capital Jakarta, it is inversely proportional to some districts in Bali,
for example, just Karangasem district that has a very small income when compared to other districts in Bali. One effect of the problem is the number of residents or people from less developed tourism district, flocked en masse to go into developing tourism areas, thus causing the population explosion or rapid increase in population density and can not be in control. Surely this also causes new problems such as congestion, widespread social conflicts, crime, unfair competition and environmental pollution was a concern.

          The conclusion is, inequality of tourism in Bali has led to problems that could threaten the balance of Bali, the longer it is allowed, the problem appears to be more and more.The government has made policies to empower the rural-based tourism by making the program Village cultural tourism, as well as with the plan to build the airstrip in the northern region as a solution for the distribution of tourism in Bali, especially the southern regions which have been very solid. No exact solution is expected later in dealing with these issues so as to reduce the problems that will arise.
