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,

10 WORLD MOST UNIQUE TOURIST ATTRACTION

10. THE CHOCOLATE HILLS, BOHOL PHILIPINES

Chocolate Hills

            The Chocolate Hills are probably Bohol's most famous tourist attraction. They look like giant mole hills, or as some say, women's breasts, and remind us of the hills in a small child's drawing. Most people who first see pictures of this landscape can hardly believe that these hills are not a man-made artifact. However, this idea is quickly abandoned, as the effort would surely surpass the construction of the pyramids in Egypt. The chocolate hills consist of are no less than 1268 hills (some claim this to be the exact number). They are very uniform in shape and mostly between 30 and 50 meters high. They are covered with grass, which, at the end of the dry season, turns chocolate brown. From this color, the hills derive their name. At other times, the hills are green, and the association may be a bit difficult to make.

            Legend has it that the hills came into existence when two giants threw stones and sand at each other in a fight that lasted for days. When they were finally exhausted, they made friends and left the island, but left behind the mess they made. For the more romantically inclined is the tale of Arogo, a young and very strong giant who fell in love with an ordinary mortal girl called Aloya. After she died, the giant Arogo cried bitterly. His tears then turned into hills, as a lasting proof of his grief.

            However, up to this day, even geologists have not reached consensus on how they where formed. The most commonly accept theory is that they are the weathered formations of a kind of marine limestone on top of a impermeable layer of clay. If you climb the 214 steps to the top of the observation hill near the complex, you can read this explanation on a bronze plaque.

9. MARIANA TRENCH, PASIFIC OCEAN

            The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the 14 Mariana Islands (11"21' North latitude and 142" 12' East longitude ) near Japan.   As you probably already know, it is the deepest part of the earth's oceans, and the deepest location of the earth itself.  It was created by ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomena in which a plate topped by oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by oceanic crust. The deepest part of the Mariana Trench is the Challenger Deep, so named after the exploratory vessel HMS Challenger II; a fishing boat converted into a sea lab by  Swiss scientist Jacques Piccard. 

             On this site,  you will find information on the main characteristics of the Mariana Trench, its exploration, and its ecosystem. The Biology section of the site covers the fish and various (organisms and microorganisms) of the deep, what makes these creatures unique, and the fascinating ways in which they live and survive. The Oceanography section explores the data pertaining to the Mariana Trench and other deep sea formations.The Exploration section relates some of the events pertaining to the first survey of the MT, and the history of deep sea  exploration.

            We have also included a section on the Mariana Arc, from an article published by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Magazine Online.  In addition to this, we also added a nautical measurement conversion table, so that you mayIn closing we have added two supplemental sections so that you may continue your research into the fascinating world of the deep.  Whether you are seeking answers to questions about the Mariana Trench, or are simply interested in Marine Biology, Oceanography, or related subjects, we hope our site will help you better understand the mysteries of the ocean floor.

8. PAMUKKALE SPRING, TURKEY

            The hot springs of Pamukkale can be found trickling down the white cliffs of Pamukkale in southern Turkey. The cliffs cascade downward in a widening series of steps from a plateau more than 100m (300ft) high on Cal Da?i mountain. Water constantly bubbles up from thermal springs under the plateau and emerges into the air at around 38°C (98.5°F). As it journeys underground to the surface, this warm water passes through beds of limestone, dissolving calcium carbonate from the rock.

         

THE CURRENT ISSUES IN BALI

Along with the development of tourism in Bali, many emerging issues related to the impact of tourism itself. Start from the increasing number of service businesses in the tourism and hospitality, making the competition becomes more intense, even in a condition could create unfair competition. Besides the problems above, the negative impact of tourism development is simply alien cultures that go without screening it first, causing the danger of cultures, traditions and social values ​​of the people of Bali, which at present can be seen from the tendency of the Balinese glorifying a foreign culture than his own culture when it all could have an impact on the fading cultures of Bali. Start of the Balinese people who went along with "clubbing" in discotheques, the rise of binge drinking, as well as the more severe is easy to get drugs freely, as is known in Bali which is one of the regions in Indonesia that many HIV infected people. Very concerned if these negative things continued to evolve in the absence of proper treatment and effective, so that later can damage the image and social state of society in Bali.

Besides the impact on the field of tourism, these developments also resulted in a considerable impact on various sectors, such as from the emergence of crime caused by the dense population in large cities that arise as a result of the many immigrants who seek work in Bali without the knowledge and expertise provided enough, so it raises a new problem for Bali.

But, behind the greatness of it all, indirectly affecting all sectors of the tourism sector in Bali. throughout the development of economic activities dependent on tourism in Bali itself. The short tourism in Bali at the center and the foundation for development in Bali, whether economic, social and cultural.

This is the major points that must be considered as the development of tourism in Bali. how to make Bali a strong and robust both in the economic, social and cultural rights are not affected by tourism development. As happened in 2002 and 2004 post-explosion of the past where the first and second Bali bombings led to falling living standards in Balinese society, both economically and socially. As a result of tourists visiting the lonely, the sacking of hotel employees, the number of drivers and transport service providers are idle, and eventually make a lot of tourism businesses into bankruptcy. Can be said that a bleak period for the Bali tourism sector due to falling causing an enormous impact on all sectors in Bali.
