VILLAGE populist-based tourism has become one of the leading Indonesian tourism. Yogyakarta exemplifies the emergence of villages and community-managed tourism is now able to contribute to a better economy for the community.
Former Minister of Culture and Tourism I Gede Ardika that since the 1990s strongly encourage the establishment of tourist villages expressed a similar thing.
"Model-based tourism a strong democracy must grow from the bottom. Yogyakarta is the first to realize this concept. Tourism Village Tanjung for example, has succeeded in first, then followed the villages around. Leaders in Cape Tourism Village, a sort of foster father and transmit science to another village, "said Ardika in Bali recently.
Now, through the Ecological Tourism Village Bali (Bali DWE), Ardika as coach Bali DWE pass and implement the establishment of tourist villages in Bali.
Around 1993, there are five tourist villages established. Each has its own uniqueness and can complement each other. One village nurtured with the help of money from the government, while four others through mentoring.
"One village was given capital by the government, only lasted a few years. Based on that experience, I no longer want to use the model of Santa Claus-style help. We chose to do the coaching and mentoring. The process is so much longer, it took many years. But the result is far better. In essence the concept of rural tourism should emerge from society itself, while the Bali DWE only assist, "he said.
Four guided tours of Bali DWE village, is now beginning and many foreign tourists visited the archipelago. In fact, never ogled, as far ari access downtown and not maintaining the uniqueness of the village. The fourth village, the village is Tenganan, Sebetan, Nusa Ceningan, and Plage.
Tenganan Village

They admire the wisdom of indigenous peoples, including how to organize a spatial point emphasizes the balance of nature and man. "This way is much more powerful in my opinion. Moreover, indigenous villages provisions guaranteed in the Constitution of 1945. I hope, what is already established indigenous villages are not violated by the government."
During this time, the light Ardika, local governments often violate a predefined spatial indigenous villages. For example customary provisions violated the green line in Bali, trimmed and built the building. Finally, in the long run, especially, all the balance disrupted, รข €? Ardika said.

Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta City is a city in the Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. It is renowned as a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry, and puppet shows. Yogyakarta was the Indonesian capital during the Indonesian National Revolution from 1945 to 1949.Orientation
The area of the city of Yogyakarta is 32.5 km². While the city spreads in all directions from the kraton (the Sultan's palace), the core of the modern city is to the north, centring around Dutch colonial-era buildings and the commercial district. Jalan Malioboro, with rows of pavement vendors and nearby market and malls, is the primary shopping street for tourists in the city, while Jalan Solo, further north, is a shopping district more frequented by locals. At the southern end of Malioboro, on the east side is the large local market of Beringharjo, not far from Fort Vredeburg a restored Dutch fort.
At Yogyakarta's centre is the kraton, or Sultan's palace. Surrounding the kraton is a densely populated residential neighbourhood that occupies land that was formerly the Sultan's sole domain. Evidence of this former use remains in the form of old walls and the ruined Taman Sari, built in 1758 as a pleasure garden. No longer used by the sultan, the garden had been largely abandoned. For a time, it was used for housing by palace employees and descendants. Reconstruction efforts began in 2004, and an effort to renew the neighbourhood around the kraton has begun. The site is a developing tourist attraction.
Nearby to the city of Yogyakarta is Mount Merapi. The northern outskirts of the city run up to the southern slopes of the mountain in Sleman Regency (Indonesian language–Kabupaten). Gunung Merapi (literally Mountain of Fire in Indonesian/Javanese), is an active Stratavolcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. The volcano last erupted in November 2010.
Arts and culture
Yogyakarta is known for its silver work, leather puppets used for shadow plays (wayang kulit), and a unique style of making batik dyed fabric. It is also known for its vivid contemporary art scene. Yogyakarta is also known for its gamelan music, including the unique style Gamelan Yogyakarta, which developed in the courts.
Yogyakarta is also a haven for underground art. It is home to many independent filmmaking communities, independent musicians, performance artists, and visual artists. One underground community that is internationally reputable among art collectors but barely heard of within the country is the Taring Padi community in Bantul, which produces posters using a technique called cukil. daren kidul Dono Kerto Turi
History
The City of Jogjakarta and the Kingdom of Jogjakarta was established as a result of a "Gianti war treaty" (Perjanjian Gianti) by HRH Prince Mangkubumi, who later become HRH Sultan Hamengkubuwono I. Officially, the creation of Kingdom of Jogjakarta is dated to October 7, 1756 as a result of civil war among the bloodline of The Kingdom of Mataram. The civil war was fought against Hamengkubuwono's and his elder brother, HRH Sunan Pakubuwono II. This civil war marked the end of the Kingdom of Mataram and resulted in the birth of the Kingdom of Jogjakarta and the Kingdom of Surakarta.
The root of the civil war started when Sunan Pakubuwono II agreed to cooperate with the Dutch colonial government and submit to foreign (western) powers. His younger brother, HRH Prince Mangkumbumi (HRH Sultan Hamengkubuwono) stood against the concept, due to concern that his people would become slaves under Dutch rule. The Javanese slaves were used to work for businesses owned by V.O.C. and the Dutch Colonial Government and exported to present day Suriname in South America. In the Netherlands itself, some of the Dutch people stood against the policy of their home government.
Prince Mangkubumi fought until the defeat of the Pakubuwono forces and declared sovereignty in the Kingdom of Jogjakarta south of the original Kingdom of Mataram. Because of this historical act of bravery and sacrifice, Jogjakarta is given Special Administrative Region (SAR) status, making the Province of Jogjakarta the only province headed by a monarchy.

Ngasem Bird Market
Ngasem is located just 400 meters to the west of Keraton. It is the largest and oldest bird market in Yogyakarta. It has been operating from as early as 1809. During that period, birds were used as a measurement of wealth and social status. That’s the reason why the location is not too far from the kingdom.Although birds aren’t the only thing sold in Ngasem, but bird sellers occupy most of the area in Ngasem, covering about one third of it. Other than birds, Ngasem also provide other animasl that can be bought, such as dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, fishes, hamsters, and many others. If you’re looking to find a pet, this is the place to look for. Besides animals, like almost every traditional market in Yogyakarta, Ngasem also sells everyday needs, including cooking ingredients, vegetables, fruits and meat.

Taman Sari
Taman Sari also known as Taman Sari Water Castle is a site of a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. It is located about 2 km south within the grounds of the Kraton, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Built in mid 18th century, the Taman Sari had multiple functions, such as a resting area, a workshop, a meditation area, a defense area, and a hiding place.[2]Taman Sari consisted of four distinct areas: a large artificial lake with islands and pavilions located in the west, a bathing complex in the centre, a complex of pavilions and pools in the south, and a smaller lake in the east. Today only the central bathing complex is well preserved, while the other areas have been largely occupied by the Kampung Taman settlement.
Since 1995 the Yogyakarta Palace Complex including Taman Sari is listed as a tentative World Heritage Site.
Etymology
The name Taman Sari comes from the Javanese words taman, meaning a "garden" or "park" and sari, which means "beautiful" or "flowers". Hence, the name Taman Sari means an area of a beautiful garden adorned with flowers. An old article described it as a "water castle" (Dutch: waterkasteel); as by shutting the watergates, the complex would be completely immersed in water, leaving tall structures standing out.[5]
[edit] History
The building of Taman Sari commenced during the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwono I (1755–1792), the first sultan of the Yogyakarta Sultanate, and was completed by the time of Sultan Hamengkubuwono II. The building site, however, had already been known as a bathing place called Pacethokan Spring since Sunan Amangkurat IV’s reign (1719–1726).[6][7] According to Kitab Mamana in Yogyakarta Kraton, the project leader for the construction of Taman Sari was Tumenggung Mangundipura. He had travelled twice to Batavia to learn about European architecture, which is the reason why the architecture of Taman Sari has marks of European style.[8] The Regent of Madiun, Raden Rangga Prawirasentika, participated in funding the construction of Taman Sari. Prawirasentika also beseeched the Sultan to be relieved of Madiun's tax obligation. He offered other alternative ways of payment. The Sultan accepted his proposal. In 1758, the Sultan commanded the Regent to supervise the making of bricks and various complements, which would be used to build a beautiful garden. The sultan wanted a place where he could spend some time to relax after many years of wars that he had just experienced. Raden Tumenggung Mangundipura, under supervision of Raden Arya Natakusuma (who later became Sri Pakualam II), was responsible for the construction. The building was started in 1684 Javanese year (1758 AD). After finding out how large the complex was, Raden Rangga Prawirasentika realized that the cost would have been greater than the taxes. He resigned from the project and was replaced by Prince Natakusuma who continued the project to completion.[9][10]
Taman Sari was built three years after the Giyanti Agreement as a resting place for Sultan Hamengkubuwono I. The complex consists of about 59 buildings[4] including a mosque, meditation chambers, swimming pools, and a series of 18 water gardens and pavilions surrounded by artificial lakes. The complex was effectively used between 1765-1812.[11]
The British invasion of the Yogyakarta Kraton saw considerable parts of the complex destroyed in 1812.[12]
The building of Taman Sari ended upon the completion of the gates and the walls. A sengkalan memet (a Javanese chronogram)[13][14] on the western gate (Gedhong Gapura Hageng) marks the year with the Javanese words Lajering Kembang Sinesep Peksi, denoting the Javanese year of 1691 or about 1765: lajering, "core" for 1; kembang, "flower" for 9; sinerep, "suck" or "drink" for 6; peksi, "bird" for 1; the sentence can be read as "birds gathering pollen of the flower". The relief around this sengkalan memet shows birds siphoning honey from flowery trees.
The maintenance of Taman Sari was abandoned shortly after Hamengkubuwono I died, partly because the elaborate hydraulic works were so difficult to maintain. The gardens were neglected and the buildings suffered some damage during the Java War of 1825-1830.
The palace complex fell out of use following an earthquake in 1867, which destroyed several buildings and drained the water features. Over time, squatters began to inhabit the site, surrounding the ruins of the deserted pavilions and filling the empty lakebeds.
In early 1970s, effort at restoration was made. Only the bathing complex has been completely restored.
Buildings
Taman Sari can be divided into four areas. The first area is the artificial lake Segaran located in the west. The second area is a bathing complex in the south of the Segaran lake, called the Umbul Binangun bathing complex. The third area, now completely gone, is the Pasarean Ledok Sari and Garjitawati Pool, located in the south of the bathing complex. The fourth area is the east side of the first and second area, which extend far to the east and to the southeast complex of Magangan..
The Segaran Lake Area
The Segaran lake area was the main complex of the Taman Sari during its era. This complex consisted of a man-made lake called Segaran ("artificial sea") with some buildings located on artificial islands in the middle of a lake. The buildings are connected by an underwater tunnel. It was used as the starting point for the royal family to reach the Taman Sari pools via a vessel. Today, the Segaran lake cannot be seen any longer as the water had been drained and the lake bed is now filled with human settlements. The underwater tunnel, which is now underground after the water had gone, still exist and can be accessed.
In the middle of Segaran was an artificial island known as Kenongo Island (Javanese Pulo Kenongo). It was named after the cananga trees which once covered the island. On this island is a one-storeyed structure called the Kenongo building (Javanese Gedhong Kenongo), now in ruins.[4][18][19]
On the south side of Kenongo Island is a row of small buildings called the Tajug. These buildings were originally used as air vents for the tunnel located below the lake. This underground tunnel, constructed in 1761,[20]was an alternative way to reach the Kenongo Island other than by a vessel. Also on the south side of the Kenongo Island is another artificial island called Cemethi Island (Javanese Pulo Cemethi) or Panembung Island (Javanese Pulo Panembung). It is a one-storeyed structure for the Sultan to meditate, or some said, a hiding place for the royal family during an attack. Another name for this island is Sumur Gumantung, because on the south side of this island is a well that hangs above the ground. This place could only be reached via the underwater tunnel. The building of Cemethi Island is now also in ruin.[18] A legend says that there is a secret tunnel that connects the palace with the south sea (Indian Ocean) where Nyai Roro Kidul or the Queen of the South has her palace.[21] The supernatural Queen becomes the spiritual wife of Yogyakarta Sultan for many generations.[19][22]
The elevated platform inside Sumur Gumuling where the four staircases meet in the center.
On the west side of Kenongo Island is another one-storeyed circular structure that forms another artificial island in the past called Gumuling Well (Sumur Gumuling). These one-storeyed building can only be entered via the underwater tunnel. The building was used as a mosque. A niche in the wall of this building was used as a mihrab. The central area of this building is an elevated platform where four staircases meet, and then from the platform, one staircase reach the first floor. On the ground level of this platform is a small pool that was used for Muslim ritual ablution
The bathing complex
The second area is located on the south of the former artificial lake of Segaran. Even though this area was not the focal point of Taman Sari, it is the best preseved area in the complex and is currently the most popular tourist attraction. The area is accessed via two gates on the east and the west side, each of these gates leads to the center of the complex, first to an inner octogonal-shaped courtyard on the east and the west, and then each of these courtyards leads to a central bathing complex in the center.
The Gates
There are two gates that lead to the bathing complex, the western one called Gedhong Gapura Hageng and the eastern one called Gedhong Gapura Panggung. Both gates are decorated with ornaments of stylized birds and flowering foliages.[4][18][19]
The west entrance, the Gedhong Gapura Hageng was formerly used as the main entrance to the bathing complex. The east facade of the gate is still visible today, but the west facade is blocked by settlements. The construction of this gate was finished in 1691 Javanese Year (about 1765 AD). The east entrance, the Gedhong Gapura Panggung is still functioning as a gate and is now the main entrance for tourists. The east entrance is a building with four staircases, two on the west side and two on the eastside. Four nagas once decorated this gate, now there are only two nagas left. The building was finished in 1684 Javanese calendar (about 1758 AD).[4][18][19]
[edit] The octagonal courtyards
Each of the gates leads to an octagonal-shaped courtyard. The western gate leads to a western octagonal-shaped enclosed courtyard. In the past, a building stood in the center of this courtyard, which was called the Lopak-lopak building (Javanese Gedhong Lopak-lopak).[18][19]
The eastern gate leads to an octagonal-shaped enclosed courtyard as well. It has a similar layout with the Gedhong Lopak-lopak courtyard, but within it, there are four pavilions known as Gedhong Sekawan. These pavilions were used as the resting place for the royal family.[18][19]
The eastern and the western octagonal courtyards lead to the central bathing complex.
Umbul Pasiraman Bathing Complex
Umbul Pasiraman, also known as Umbul Binangun or Umbul Winangun, is a bathing complex for the royal family. The bathing complex is an enclosed space surrounded by tall structures. It consists of three pools decorated with mushroom-shaped springs and large flower pots.[18][19]
There are two buildings in the bathing complex. The northernmost building was used as the resting place and changing room for the daughters and concubines of the sultan. On the south side of this building is a pool known as Umbul Muncar. The pool is divided into two by a central pathway (known as Blumbang Kuras) that runs east-west. The next building on the south is a building with a tower in its center. The right wing of the building was used as the sultan's changing room, the east wing was used as his resting place. The central tower was used by the sultan to observe his daughters and concubines bathing in the pool.[18][19]
On the south of this building is the third pool that was used only by the sultan and his concubines. During its era, only females and the sultan were allowed to enter this bathing complex.
Gedong Temanten
On the southeast and northeast of the Gedhong Gapuro Panggung are two buildings known as Gedhong Temanten. The buildings were formerly used by the castle guard. According to archeological study, on the south side of this building was another building and a garden whose remain cannot be seen anymore and is filled with settlements

Kraton Yogyakarta
Kraton or the Palace where Sultan and his family of Yogyakarta live is located in the center of the axis stretching from the north to the south, and in the secondary axis from the east to the west. It is encircled by row of the mountains called the Horizon as the border of the universe.It lies between Tugu as the north border and Panggung Krapyak as the south border, between Code River in the east and Winongo River in the west; between the Merapi Mountain and the South Sea. In the mind of the Javanese community, kraton is defined as center of the world that is described as center of the universe.
After the Giyanti Agreeement, Yogyakarta territory was given to Pangeran Mangkubumi. To run his governance, he built a palace in 1755 in Hutan Beringan area; such a good place flanked by two rivers that protect it from being flooded. The first king of Yogyakarta Palace was Pangeran Mangkubumi with the title Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono I (HB I).
Karaton, Keraton or Kraton, originates from the word ke-ratu-an that means the place where the queen/king lives. Simple explanation of its broader meaning is that all structures and buildings in the Kraton area have significant meaning related to essential Javanese philosophy of life, namely Sangkan Paraning Dumadi that means the origin and the destination of human being.
In general, the Kraton area stretches 5 kilometers southwards to Krapyak village and 2 kilometers northwards until the Tugu monument. In this imaginary line, there is a reversed dualism linear line that tells symbolical philosophy: the direction from south to north symbolizes the birth of human being from the high place to the perishable world, and the opposite direction symbolizes the return of human being to the Dumadi (God in Javanese philosophy). Kraton is physical symbol and the King is the symbol of the real soul that presents into the physical body.
The direction from the Palace to the Tugu monument represents the road of life that is full of temptations. Beringharjo market symbolizes women temptation and temptation of power is symbolized by Kepatihan building. The straight street connecting the Palace to Tugu monument symbolizes close relationship between human being and the Creator (Sangkan Paraning Dumadi).
In short, Tugu monument is a symbol of lingga (male sex organ) and Krapyak symbolizes yoni (female sex organ) and kraton is physical blend of the two.
Hit by the earthquake in 1867, the Sultan Palace was severely damaged. During the reign of HB VII in 1889, the building was renovated. The lay out being retained, the shape of the building was changed to the current look.
Tugu monument and Manguntur Tangkil hall or Bangsal Kencana (where the king is seated), are straight in a line. This means that while sitting on his throne and looking toward the Tugu monument, he will always remember his people.
In general, the space arrangement of the current Sultan Palace is similar to the one of Mataram Dynasty. The center of the Palace is the so called Bangsal Kencana that is adjacent to Bangsal Prabayeksa as the place to keep sacred weapons (in this room, there is an oil lamp called Kyai Wiji that is kept lit by the Palace servants). This hall is surrounded by Kedhaton yard so that people must go through layers of the yard that seem like waves in order to reach the center.
This special arrangement of the Palace looks similar to constellation of mountain and Jambu Dwipa land that is considered to be central archipelago of the universe.
From north part to west part of the Palace area, there are North Square, North Siti Hinggil, North Kemandhungan, Srimanganti, Kedhaton, Kemagangan, South Kemandungan, South Siti Hinggil and South Square (the yard that is protected by high walls).
In order to reach all of the places, there are nine gates (called regol) that must be passed through, namely: gerbang, pangurukan, tarub agung, brajanala, srimanganti, kamagangan, gadhung mlati, kemandhungan and gading.
Brongtodiningrat sees the significance of this number, as the highest number to describe excellence. This is related to nine holes in human beings, commonly called babahan hawa sanga.
The sacredness of each Palace building is indicated by the frequency and intensity of Sultan activities in the location.
Sultan only visits the Square, Pagelaran, and Siti Hinggil three times a year, namely during the events of Pisowan Ageng Grebeg Maulud, Sawal and Besar and other very special, incidental events such as coronation of the Sultan and the crown prince or Pangeran Adipati Anom.
Yogyakarta Sultan Palace is an old building that was once damaged and restored. In general, it looks like other Kingdom buildings. When we understand the philosophy of them deeper, however, we will understand the symbolical meaning of life philosophy, human nature, how the nature works and human beings live their lives and various symbols of life existence in them.

History of Prince Diponegoro’s struggle can not be released to the existence of sacred places, this one, namely Goa Selarong. During the Diponegoro resistance against the Dutch in 1825 until 1830, Goa Selarong is the key to the success of the struggle Selarong Diponegoro and the army.

Location of Goa region Selarong included in the Dusun Kembang ofwhite, Guwosari Village, Sub-Display, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Location was in the southern city of Gudeg these, approximately 30 km from the city center or if using a land route will take approximately 45 minutes duration. Complex Goa Selarong limestone hills located approximately 35 m tall covered by shady trees labat nan. Its location is very steep, the slope can be about 45 degrees. To achieve that, whoever the person has to walk hundreds of steps as far as 400 m to get to that place.Selarong Goa is shaped narrow with a width of approximately only 3 m and a height of no more than 2 m, while the length to it only about 3 m only. Nothing special about this form Selarong Goa. The Javanese call this cave species such as cave buntet alias not transparent perforated appendicitis. So, this cave is a rock basin plain without any copy into. It is said by Sarimin (75) the caretaker complex Selarong Goa, Goa is indeed visible Selarong is a dead end, but for the Diponegoro and his followers, Goa Selarong a magic door to enter into the bowels of the hill towards the chalk. “Although the cave is a dead end, but Prince Diponegoro and his bodyguard could penetrate to the inside, as if able to stay inside the hill. So, Goa Selarong just as magical door entrance only and the actual cave is far in it, “he said. That’s why that makes why Prince Diponegoro and loyal troops will be very difficult to catch and had never touched or even seen by the eyes of Dutch troops, if you’re hiding in Goa this Selarong. Although the Dutch troops had arrived at the compound, but the troops of the Company still can not see that in fact there are hundreds of Diponegoro’s troops hiding in Goa Selarong. Company troops just spinning in place and could only see mountains uninhabited rock.
Not surprisingly, then to provoke a Diponegoro for going out of Goa Selarong, Dutch Company by General De Kock had to do political race by bringing sheep to negotiate Diponegoro in Magelang in around 1830, to then catch and mengasingkannya to Makassar, South Sulawesi until the end his death in 1855.

There was his voice, but no form. That said it is believed, on the second day of the supernatural are gathered in Temat sacred places, including in Goa this Selarong. At that moment, from night until dawn scattered like the smell of incense and incense must be very clear this Selarong burst of Goa.
Even so, there are some restrictions that should not be done in Goa this Selarong, that is asking pesugihan or request a toggle number. “It was a very unpopular by the occult in Goa Selarong. If it is banned, disaster will surely befall anyone who violated that, “said grandfather four grandchildren. The disaster could happen right on the spot, such as slip or fall off a cliff to result in death. Even if not in place, on the other disaster where it must be approached. “If you want to find pesugihan or find a number, do not be in place here, look elsewhere mending it,” remembers Sarimin

Tourist arrivals may exceed govt target
Foreign tourist arrivals in Indonesia may reach 7.8 million this year, slightly exceeding the government’s target of 7.7 million, a tourism industry group estimated.
Rudiana, vice chairman of the Jakarta branch of the Association of the Indonesia Tour and Travel Agencies (Asita), said in Jakarta on Monday that beside holding international events, improvement of the country’s security conditions had also contributed to the higher than expected number of tourist arrivals.
“Unfavorable security conditions in other countries will also push up the number of inbound tourists, as they may shift their destinations to Indonesia,” he told The Jakarta Post.
Rudiana said that visits are expected to peak in June, July, August and December because of school holidays and the change of seasons in many foreign countries.
“Foreign tourist arrivals may top four to five million in total during those months,” he said.
He added that a number of events, including the SEA Games and those related to the Indonesian ASEAN chairmanship would also boost arrivals of inbound tourists to the country.
The SEA Games are scheduled to run from Nov. 11 to 22 in Jakarta and Palembang. Other official meetings in relation to Indonesia’s ASEAN chairmanship will also take place from this month through the end of 2011.
The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recently announced that from January to April this year, the number of tourist arrivals increased by 7.20 percent to 2.32 million from 2.17 million over the same period last year.
According to Rudiana, the 7.20 percent growth was quite good given the declining number of tourists from Japan — one of the most important countries of origin of Indonesia’s inbound tourists.
“Many Japanese tourists canceled their travel following the disaster. Agencies in Bali, for example, reported a 50-percent decline in numbers of free individual travelers [a group consisting two to four travelers],” he said.
Rudiana added that during the first months of each year, visits of foreign tourists usually slowed and would climb later in the middle of the year.
BPS data shows that in April inbound tourists totaled 608,100, a 9.39 percent rise from 555,900 in April last year. Earlier this year, Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik said that the government aimed to draw around 7.7 million inbound tourists in 2011, a 10-percent increase from 7 million last year.
Last year, inbound tourists brought a total of US$7.6 billion with average spending of $1,085 per person during an average stay of eight days per visitor. The rising number of travelers in Indonesia has attracted a number of tourism stakeholders, such as hotel management chains, to boost their investments in the country in the coming years.
For example, global hotel management chain Accor recently unveiled plans through 2014 to operate 21 new hotels in Indonesia; its fastest growing market in Asia after China and India.
The hotel, managed under brands such as Pullman, Novotel, Ibis, All Seasons and Formule 1, will be located in Greater Jakarta and other major cities, including Pekanbaru, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Denpasar, Banjarmasin, Palu and Makassar.
It had also previously announced that it would open another 13 hotels by 2013, most of which are currently under construction.

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recently announced that from January to April this year, the number of tourist arrivals increased by 7.20 percent to 2.32 million from 2.17 million over the same period last year.
According to Rudiana, the 7.20 percent growth was quite good given the declining number of tourists from Japan — one of the most important countries of origin of Indonesia’s inbound tourists.
“Many Japanese tourists canceled their travel following the disaster. Agencies in Bali, for example, reported a 50-percent decline in numbers of free individual travelers [a group consisting two to four travelers],” he said.
Rudiana added that during the first months of each year, visits of foreign tourists usually slowed and would climb later in the middle of the year.
BPS data shows that in April inbound tourists totaled 608,100, a 9.39 percent rise from 555,900 in April last year. Earlier this year, Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik said that the government aimed to draw around 7.7 million inbound tourists in 2011, a 10-percent increase from 7 million last year.
Last year, inbound tourists brought a total of US$7.6 billion with average spending of $1,085 per person during an average stay of eight days per visitor. The rising number of travelers in Indonesia has attracted a number of tourism stakeholders, such as hotel management chains, to boost their investments in the country in the coming years.
For example, global hotel management chain Accor recently unveiled plans through 2014 to operate 21 new hotels in Indonesia; its fastest growing market in Asia after China and India.
The hotel, managed under brands such as Pullman, Novotel, Ibis, All Seasons and Formule 1, will be located in Greater Jakarta and other major cities, including Pekanbaru, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Denpasar, Banjarmasin, Palu and Makassar.
It had also previously announced that it would open another 13 hotels by 2013, most of which are currently under construction.

Pantai Charlita, Wisata Baru di Nias
Mencari obyek wisata pantai di Kota Gunungsitoli tidaklah susah. Di Gunungsitoli Utara ada pantai Charlita, sebuah kawasan wisata yang selalu ramai dikunjungi masyarakat setempat untuk melepas kepenatan atau sekadar memandang laut lepas dari bilik pondok yang berjejer menghadap samudra.Berada di Desa Afia, Kecamatan Gunungsitoli Utara, sekitar 14 kilometer dari pusat Kota Gunungsitoli, menjadikan obyek wisata ini mudah dijangkau. Menuju lokasi, kendaraan roda dua dan empat melewati jalan setapak yang berjarak sekitar 100 meter dari jalan raya.
Tapi ingat, bila sampai di persimpangan, Anda harus berbelok ke arah kanan menuju Pantai Charlita, sebab tidak jauh dari lokasi terdapat obyek wisata lain.
Nama Charlita sendiri diambil dari nama anak pertama sang pemilik obyek wisata ini yakni Charlita Zega atau lebih sering disingkat Carla Zega.
Obyek wisata yang berdiri tahun 2006 ini awalnya adalah sebuah kawasan tepi pantai yang sepi pengunjung. Namun setelah dikelola oleh Anita Yuniar Telaumbanua (37), tepi pantai yang semula sepi berubah menjadi kawasan yang setiap hari selalu ramai dikunjungi, baik masyarakat sekitar maupun dari daerah lain.
“Awalnya saya tidak tertarik menjalankan usaha ini. Tapi karena saya orangnya tidak bisa diam, apa usaha yang bisa saya lakukan akan saya kerjakan,” tutur Anita.
Pantai Charlita yang memiliki luas 8,5 hektar itu, menawarkan berbagai fasilitas, antara lain penginapan, Karaoke TV (KTV), hall badminton, aula, pondok, live music, restoran dan kolam renang. Tak perlu khawatir dengan waktu, karena 15 pekerja tetap dan 10 pekerja lepas yang siap melayani Anda 24 jam.
Untuk penginapan, tersedia 10 kamar yang bertarif Rp 125.000 hingga Rp 250.000 per 24 jam. Bagi Anda yang hobbi bernyanyi, berkaraoke bersama keluarga atau teman menjadi pilihan, karena tersedia 2 KTV dengan tarif Rp 80.000 per jam dengan kapasitas 6 orang dan Rp 50.000 untuk KTV yang berkapasitas 4 orang.
“Kalau live music hanya malam hari mulai pukul 8-11 malam,” ujar pemilik Charlita yang biasa dipanggil Ina Charlita Zega.
Disini juga ada 10 pondok, berkapasitas 4 hingga 10 orang. Masing-masing pondok juga diberi nama unik berupa nama bunga seperti mawar dan teratai. Begitu pula bila ingin membuat sebuah acara yang mengharuskan mengundang teman atau keluarga hingga ratusan orang juga jangan khawatir karena ada 2 aula berkapasitas 200 dan 300 orang.
Sementara untuk menu yang ditawarkan juga beragam, mulai dari yang umum seperti nasi goreng, mie ayam dan gado-gado, atau seafood seperti ikan bakar, udang saus tiram dan cumi goreng. Harganya antara Rp 10.000 sampai Rp 100.000. Minuman ringan dan jus juga tersedia untuk menemani pesanan Anda.
“Charlita kebanyakan dikunjungi orang untuk makan dan berenang,” kata Ina Charlita Zega. Namun seiring dengan semakin bertambahnya fasilitas yang disediakan, menurut Ina Charlita, obyek wisata yang dikelolanya juga sering dikunjungi oleh para tamu dari luar daerah Nias.
Daerah Gunungsitoli memang memiliki banyak kawasan tepi pantai yang indah namun belum dikelola dengan maksimal. Padahal bila dikelola dengan baik, tentu dapat memberikan sumbangan yang besar bagi kemajuan masyarakat disekitarnya.
“Saya rasa obyek wisata pantai itu akan dicari karena masyarakat Nias memang sangat membutuhkan tempat hiburan dan rekreasi,” begitu komentar Ina Charlita.
Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat, Pantai Charlita yang dikelolanya selalu berupaya melengkapi fasilitas yang ada serta meningkatkan pelayanan kepada tamu yang datang.
“Saya ingin Charlita bisa lebih berkembang dari yang sekarang,” ujar Ina Charlita yang telah merencanakan pembangunan beberapa fasilitas tambahan selain kolam renang.
Penambahan kamar, pondok dan fasilitas olahraga sedang menunggu giliran. Dan semuanya lagi-lagi bergantung pada kemampuan finansial yang harus dikorbankan dari kantong pribadi guna mewujudkan rencananya, membangun Nias melalui pariwisata.
