"TIRTA: The Solution to Protect Beloved Bali from Overtourism"
This is a Response to the Pariwisata Berkelanjutan wikithon
We know that Bali's economy relies on the tourism sector. However, overtourism is not just a matter of tourist density, but also a threat to culture and the environment. Foreign cultures are increasingly pervasive, displacing local traditions, while traditional transportation such as cikar and dokar are starting to be marginalized by motorized vehicles that pollute nature.
To maintain the noble culture of Bali, a strong commitment is needed from the community, government, and tourists through TIRTA:
1. Strict tourism management so that the number of tourists remains controlled and of high quality. 2. Integration of culture & environment so that tourism does not erode local identity. 3. Revitalization of tradition by strengthening community pride in their customs. 4. Shared responsibility between the government, community, and tourists in preserving culture. 5. Direct it towards sustainable tourism that is community-based without damaging the environment.
Cultural festivals must also be strengthened with real regulations, not just mere ceremonies. If this commitment is ignored, the consequences could erode Bali's identity as a noble cultural heritage. With TIRTA, Bali can continue to shine amidst the current of globalization without losing its identity.- Category
