Villagers in the island of Java set the rules for tourists visiting their area, working with the local government to help protect popular sites.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the foot of Mount Sindoro, a popular tourist site in Indonesia\u2019s Central Java, locals set the rules for visitors. Break the rules and a fine of up to 1 million rupiah (US$67) applies, but if you can\u2019t pay you might instead be asked to plant tree seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sindoro Mountain area is one of a growing number of the 1734 \u2018desa wisata\u2019 or rural tourist villages seeking to ensure sustainability for future generations of Indonesians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While initially aimed at increasing cross-sectoral income, promoting the local economy using local resources, desa wisata in Kebumen Regency and Temanggung Regency in Central Java are vulnerable to environmental damage from tourism.  The Karangsembung Karangbolong Geopark Area (GKK) in Kebumen Regency is a large nature reserve area covering 117 villages. It has 41 geological sites, 10 cultural sites, and 8 biological sites.  In 2017, the Government of Kebumen Regency issued a master plan for tourism development in the region with a focus on collaborative governance, and invited others to get involved. Since then they have brought many stakeholders together to help ensure sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one case Padjadjaran University conducted a summer programme bringing students from 12 countries to explore the GKK Area in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Temanggung Regency the  residents of Ngadimulyo Village set up the  Papringan Market in a disused bamboo forest. In this unique market, not only are all the buildings and ornaments made of bamboo, visitors are also required to use bamboo coins to shop there.  The initiative aims to improve the welfare of local communities, boosting the local economy as well as delivering a tourist destination that is free of solid waste \u2014 especially plastic. Having attracted the attention of Indonesia’s Minister of Tourism, the location is now home to an  annual event bringing more economic benefit to the region.The event called Java Tantara is made up of three main cultural and historical-travelling activities: the Mountain Festival, the Daendels Run, and the Rally Truck Festival. These activities are held with the support of numerous regencies and cities in South, Central, and North Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism contributes around 4.1 percent to Indonesia\u2019s annual GDP, but the Indonesian government is seeking to push this to 10-12 percent in the next 5-10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism has multiplier effects for the Indonesian economy, increasing the income of local residents through culinary businesses, souvenirs, accommodation, transportation, and tour guiding. Tourism also generates spill-over effects into other sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when the primary aim of tourism development is increased income, the end result can be overexploitation. Solid waste problems and environmental damage from industrial development in tourist destinations are real, but problems can also extend beyond the environment to issues such as theft, changes to the lifestyle of local residents and soaring property prices, as evidenced by one study in Yogyakarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sumatra, Bukittinggi City has seen traffic congestion problems, increased CO2 emissions, and negative impacts on the biotic environment, such as extensive graffiti on trees and plants and visitors who give food carelessly to animals. And Bali, one of Indonesia’s leading destinations, was forced to declare  a “garbage emergency” on some of the most popular beaches for tourists after they became littered with plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, responsible and sustainable tourism are gaining ground in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
