Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The Bali provincial administration is
developing 11 tourist villages in eight districts in an effort to
improve the welfare of the rural communities.
"The village sites can improve the economy in rural areas, and
therefore, can minimize urbanization and alleviate poverty," Head of the
Bali Provincial Tourism Office Anak Agung Gede Yuniartha Putra noted
here on Tuesday.
The tourist villages to be developed in 2016 are Pemuteran in
Buleleng district, Batuagung in Jembrana district, Tua and Sudimara in
Tabanan district, Pangsan in Badung district, Singapadu Tengah in
Gianyar district, Bakas in Klungkung district, Trunyan and Suter in
Bangli district, and Antiga and Muntigunung in Karangasem district.
"All the tourist villages will be developed into natural tourist
sites, which are different from the earlier ones. These tourist villages
also offer cultural tourism, agrotourism, and ecotourism," Yuniartha
explained.
The Bali provincial administration is targeting to develop 100
tourist villages by 2018. So far, the province has 42 tourist villages.
The developed villages offer unique tourist attractions in line with the local potentials.
"For instance, a village, with paddy fields, showcases paddy farming activities in addition to their rituals," he remarked.
Yuniartha noted that the Penglipuran village in Bangli district was
adjudged the best national tourist village and will compete at the ASEAN
level. (WDY)
