The balinese people consider themselves as an ethnic group of indonesians. 93% of the balinese in bali are Hindu, but the balinese are only 2% of the indonesian population. Their culture has always been the bali’s strongest attraction. From their beautiful hindu temples, traditional dances, and art, tourism has changed their culture in some ways that made balinese culture different. Balinese temples are being disturbed by hotels/resorts. Some hotels has been built only about 2km away from temples. Some traditional dances that were once performed for cultural events and to have fun are now performed for tourist for money. Their costume for the dances has also changed from very to traditional to a more modern costume.

According to James M. Henslin, as of 2008, Indonesia is considered one of the least industrializing nations. Least industrializing nations account for 68 percent of the world’s people but only 49 percent of the earth’s land. These nations usually are filled with poverty. People that live in these nations have no running water, indoor plumbing, or access to teachers or doctors. The more the population grows the more stress it causes and gives them setbacks (p. 247, 249). Industries in Indonesia consist of agro-business, resource extraction and export, construction, and tourism. As of the 1970s, industrial sectors have been developed, commonly in Java around Jakarta and Surabaya and other cities along the north coast. In the outer islands is where agro-business and resource extraction is located. Much of Indonesia’s foreign exchange and domestic operating funds are supplied by these industries. Sumatra has plantations, oil, gas, and mines; West Papua has mining; and Kalimantan has timber.

Due to the unique and complex ceremonies, “Tana Toraja is now the second most popular destination for tourist in Indonesia after Bali” (ancient-origins, 2017). It is true that the increase in visitors has boost the local economy, however many loses have occurred in other areas. Toraja is a recent tourist development as President Suharto began in late 1960s, “to encourage the development of the Indonesian tourism industry” (Adams, 1997) and by 1994 over 258,000 tourists came to the region annually. With such a huge crowd visiting a small region, locals have been influence greatly by the outsiders and have caused a change in the social organization. Some locals have intently kept their ancient

Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, one of the world’s most densely developed megacities, and home to more than 10 million inhabitants (The World Bank 2015). The Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Region (JMR) is officially known as Jabodetabek, a name formed by combining the initial syllables of 6 independent municipalities: Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi. This huge urban agglomeration with more than 27 million population, or 10 percent of the population of Indonesia, has been the most attractive area in Indonesia for both domestic and direct foreign investments —especially in the manufacturing sectors— which can potentially

Indonesia is a country of 34 provinces and over 300 ethnic groups. Although this particular country has diverse cultures to present, its tourism has always been focused in Bali. From the 1990s, Bali has always been the major attraction for foreign visitors in Indonesia (Statistics Indonesia). In August 2014, it was found that Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali has the highest number of international arrivals compared to other provinces in Indonesia (Statistics Indonesia). Little is known about other destinations, such as Borobudur temple in Magelang, Central Java. Borobudur temple is one of the largest Buddhist monuments in the world that was built in the ninth century during Syailendra Dynasty supremacy. This temple has six square platforms with three circular platforms on the top and it owns 504 Buddha statues inside mounds known as stupa. Borobudur was previously recognized as one of world’s seven wonders and it is also acknowledged as UNESCO World Heritage site. However, this valuable cultural heritage barely attracts foreign visitors. Statistics Indonesia revealed that international arrival in the nearest airports to Magelang was far under Bali’s visitors (9,887 arrivals in Surakarta and Jogjakarta and 336,628 arrivals in Bali). Based on this fact, the author proposes that Central Java government should focus on improving Borobudur temple tourism as the way to increase the number of international tourists to Indonesia, which

The Philippines is a tropical country that is rich in one of a kind, stunning, land and sea forms alike, so it is no surprise that the official slogan of the Department Of Tourism, or DOT, is “It’s More Fun in the Philippines”. Tourism plays a major role in our economy, making up a whopping 8.6% of the total gross domestic product (TGDP) in 2016 alone. Now incase 8.6% does not seem impressive enough to you, that actually translates to Php 1,243,500,000,000 or 1,243.5 billion Pesos. So basically, tourism is a major player when it comes to sustaining and boosting our economy. But sadly this is one of the many sectors that is greatly affected by something that the Government seems to be in no apparent rush at all to address and fix. The lack of proper waste disposal in the Philippines is an issue of national concern as it jeopardizes the potential growth of the tourism industry of the country, and the preservation of the cultural heritage of our nation, and also takes a toll on the overall health of the Filipino citizens.
