ALONG with the development of tourism in a new era that is moving towards quality and sustainability, tourism villages have an important role in generating tourism and the creative economy in Indonesia.
This is because there is a lot of potential that can be developed from a village, based on the character and potential of each. Currently, Indonesia has hundreds of tourism villages. There are even some who have gone global, so visiting a tourist village is not only a new experience but also very exciting.
One of the efforts made by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy/Tourism and Creative Economy Agency is to activate ecotourism activities through the growth of tourism villages in the archipelago.
“Through tourism village-based ecotourism, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy together with the community seeks to find a balance of economic benefits and the preservation of natural culture around the village,” said Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy/Head of the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, Sandiaga Uno, in mid-April 2021.
Here are some tourism villages that you can stop by while in Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) or West Nusa Tenggara and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) or East Nusa Tenggara:
Penglipuran Village, Bali
Bali is known as a natural tourist destination with a strong cultural nuance. If you want to get a different Balinese charm, try visiting Penglipuran Village. The atmosphere is cool and very beautiful, making this village crowned as one of the cleanest villages in the world.
Sasak Sade Village, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)
Thatched roofs and bamboo walls are the hallmark of Sasak Sade Village, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Here we can enjoy cultural attractions, from dance to the unique concept of the house. It should not be missed either, to see firsthand the process of weaving Lombok’s typical Sasak woven fabric.
Liang Ndara Tourism Village, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)
Flores is not only known for its charming nature but also for its rich culture, one of which is dance. This tourism village is the only place for tourists who want to see Caci Dance. In addition, the weaving culture from generation to generation is still maintained through the colorful flores weaving made by the women of Liang Ndara Village.
Even though we are in a friendly tourist village with open air, we must remain disciplined in complying with health protocols by using masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands so that we remain safe and comfortable when traveling
