According to
data from Trip Advisor, Bali is ranked 4th out of the 10 best destinations in
the world after Paris, London and Rome. This achievement is one of the motivating
factors for the development of tourism in Bali. The development of tourism in
Bali is not only the duty of the government, but also our duty as the young
generation. As the young generation of our nation, we can contribute in
developing and empowering the potential of tourism objects that we can start
from a relatively small scope, such as in terms of empowering the potential of
tourism objects in our own 'Hometown'.
Tourism
in Bali is currently more concentrated in the southern regions of Bali, so that
other regions such as the West Bali region are less concerned by the
government. It would be better if the government does not only focus on
development and empowerment of tourist objects in the southern Bali region,
because it is still a tourist attraction in other areas that can be developed,
for example the tourist attraction of Palasari Dam located in Jembrana Regency.
Palasari
Jembrana Dam can be an alternative tourist choice as a fun refresing place.
This dam was built in April 1986 and was inaugurated on July 23rd, 1989 by President Soeharto. As a
reservoir of water reserves, Palasari Dam is very beneficial for local
residents if the dry season comes especially for irrigating rice fields.
Having
a land area of 100 hectares, Palasari Dam can accommodate up to 8 million
cubic meters of water. Many freshwater fish that live freely on this dam are
like: nile tilapia,carp,tilapia fish,snakehead fish,cat fish,etc.Not surprisingly,
anglers often spend time fishing in the
Palasari Dam. In addition to the favorite places for anglers, you can also rent
small canoes to navigate the entire dam area. Set in green scenery and cool
air, this location is perfect for refresing tired. Other activities that are
quite extreme can also be done here, namely motor cross and off road. Here you
can channel your hobbies in the world of motor cross because there is a
motorbike crossing around the dam. There is even a regular schedule for the
motor cross competition in Palasari Dam.
The livelihoods of the surrounding community are farmers
and raising livestock. This can be seen along the road with many stretches of
rice fields. The green scenery of the rice fields also adds to the beauty of
the Palasari Dam. The next activity that is not less exciting can be done in
Palasari Dam. Jembrana is hunting photos. With the background of the largest
dam on the island of Bali, you will be able to get very interesting photos.
This is another attraction of this dam.
In this area there is also a church that is quite unique,
namely the Palasari Church. The uniqueness of the Palasari Church, which is
commonly used for Christian religious rituals, has buildings and ritual
ceremonies thick with Balinese customs. The church building combines gothic
architecture with Balinese architecture, so that it looks unique and sacred.
Even though it is old, the conditions in the Palasari Church building are still
very good and look modern. At the entrance of the courtyard, a gate is needed,
like a gate on a temple or an entrance to houses in Bali.
Various advantages of this Palasari Dam tourist
destination are able to make this tourist attraction one of the most popular
tourist attractions when visiting Bali. However, very few people know the
attraction. If viewed in terms of aesthetics and geographical location, this
location must be perfect for tourism attractions in Bali island. But sadly,
promotion in this tourist attraction is still very minimal, so many tourist
objects do not understand this attraction.
The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism in 2018 has made a
program to increase the number of tourists in Indonesia. In this case the
government in Bali, attracts young people to participate in achieving the
targeted Vision. Pesona Indonesia Generation (GENPI) Bali fully supports the
programs that have been set by the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism.
GENPI (Generation of Enchantment Indonesia) is a
community that is social or volunteer that will promote Indonesian tourism. GENPI
is a motorbike for tourism promotion consisting of bloggers, vlogers, journalists,
photographers, travelers, so that this community has a big influence especially
on social media. They will play an active role through social media introducing
various hidden tourist destinations in Indonesia so that tourists visit.The
contribution of the young generation is not only limited to the field of
promotion of tourism objects, but can be done with a variety of concrete
actions in terms of developing tourism objects. Various efforts can be made by
the young generation to increase the development of tourism objects, for
example the contribution of the younger generation in terms of maintaining
cleanliness and sustainability of tourist objects, promoting tourism objects,
and some of them.
The smallest thing we can do as a young generation to
increase tourism in Bali is to maintain the cleanliness and preservation of
these tourist objects, for example when we are traveling to various tourist
objects, we should dispose of garbage in the trash that has been provided at
the tourist attraction. This may indeed seem trivial, but this will also have a
positive impact on tourism in Bali. Of course tourists will feel comfortable
when vacationing in a clean and well-maintained tourist attraction, and this
can certainly be one of the things that affects the increasing number of
tourists who come to Bali.(Agustiani Rahayu-MBP 5B-15)
