THE NATIONAL Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) plans to divide the tourist areas of Ubud, Tegallalang, and Payangan in Bali into three tourist zones. Ubud, Tegallalang, and Payangan are three sub-districts in Gianyar which are located close together.
The three sub-districts have a number of leading destinations in the tourism sector. The three tourist zones consist of zone one or core zone, zone two namely cultural tourism, and zone three namely nature tourism.
The core zones will be in Ubud Village, Peliatan Village, and Mas Village, Ubud District. The leading destinations in the three villages are Monkey Forest, Puri Painting, to a number of existing museums such as the Neka Museum, Rudana Museum, and the Arma Museum. Then, Zone IB, which is the core support, includes Singakerta, Lodtunduh, Sayan, Kedewatan, Petulu, Keliki, Tegalalang, and Melinggih Kelod.
Zone 2 or the development of cultural tourism, namely in Kenderan, Kedisan, Melinggih, Kelusa, and Bukian. Finally, Zone three, namely the development of natural tourism, is in the villages of Pupuan, Sebatu, Taro, Beresela, Puhu, Buahan, Buahan Kaja, and Kerta.
Each zone has different visitor management. For example, in the core zone, daytime activities for tourism will be devoted to city tours and at night in the form of art performances and performances.
According to the Deputy for Regional Development at the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, Rudy S. Prawiradinata said the establishment of Ulapan tourism areas, namely Ubud, Tegalalang, and Payangan, is a form of transformation of Bali tourism.
“In the future, Ulapan will become a tourism model that synergizes with other sectors, such as agriculture. In addition, through Ulapan, transportation conditions in the area will also be regulated so as to minimize congestion problems,” he said.
He added, we make sure that balance occurs, we try zoning with different approaches, zoning according to its advantages, this will soon be executed in collaboration with local governments.
“Other sectors in Ulapan, such as agriculture, will be optimized so that their production can supply the needs of the tourism industry in the area. Ulapan seeks to apply the concept of tri hita karana, namely harmonization with nature, humans, and God in carrying out tourism,” he said.
He explained, how to balance agriculture and tourism, we will see what is in the area, we want to balance tourism potential with agriculture, then agriculture with technology so that it can fill tourism needs. [antaranews/photo special]
