REVIEWING tourist a rac ons in Bali will certainly never end. One of the no less interes ng tourist a rac ons frequently talking about is the Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK). The tourist at-trac on located on Jalan Uluwatu, Ungasan village, South Kuta, Badung, is a tourist a rac on worth visi ng when spending holidays in Bali.

It is approximately15-20 minutes by car from Ngurah Rai Airport. Pamper your eyes with a beau ful and charming statue of Garuda Wisnu. The GWK development was ini ated by the Garuda Wisnu Ken-cana Founda on in 1992 with the aim to make the GWK as the landmark of Bali tourism that could become a famous cul-tural a rac on worldwide. Specifying the star ng loca on for the large construc on project was not an easy ma er. It took up to two years to get the construc on site, and ul mately Bukit Ungasan was chosen as the right loca on which was considered suitable. Bukit Ungasan was formerly a limestone mine.

The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Foun-da on appointed I Nyoman Nuarta (dra er, architect and co-founder of the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Founda on) as a major sculptor in the GWK Bali project because I Nyoman Nuarta is one of the best modern sculptors of Indonesia. In 2013, the management ownership of the GWK Bali was taken over by PT Alam Sutera Realty Indonesia, one of the first developers in Indonesia. Originally, the statue of Garuda Wisnu had ini al plan to be built with the height of 126 meters and width of 60 meters. However, un l now it is s ll in the making process so that the height of the statue today is only 20 meters.

Along with the ongoing develop-ment, the GWK tourist a rac on devel-ops into a place of cultural exhibi on, event and entertainment a rac on as well as a forum of informa on and communica on for local culture, na-

onal culture, regional culture and even interna onal culture.

The GWK Cultural Park which is the term for the GWK Bali also offers diverse ideal and adequate facili es for various types of public and private events both on a small scale and large scale. In addi on, it is also equipped with suppor ng facili es so that visitors can feel at home:Wisnu Plaza Street TheatreLotus Pond AmphitheatreExhibi on Hall Indraloka GardenTirta Agung Jendela Bali Restaurant The Beranda Restaurant Bou que and Gi Shops

There is no need to spend too much money in order to enjoy the ac vi es at GWK. The admission fees to the GWK Cultural Park as of January 10, 2015 are as follows: Adult—IDR 50,000, child -- IDR 40,000, while student -- IDR 40,000.

Other than be spoiled by the sight of the charming statue, visitors can also enjoy the view of the sunset from the top of the GWK. In addi on, the GWK Cultural Park also offers a wide range

ADALAH Juliani juara pertama PR Simpa k THK 2014, jika ingin menemuinya ditempat kerja, carilah Juju. Pasalnya nama Juliani, terdengar asing diantara staff Bali Safari & Marine Park, karena wanita can k ini biasa dipanggil Juju oleh teman-temannya. Sebagai peraih akreditasi PR Simpa k Tri Hita Karana Tourism Accredita on Awards, Juju dak menyangka dirinya mampu mengungguli kontestan lain-nya. Pengakuan Juju kepada Bali Travel Newspaper, ke ka penjurian dilakukan, pertanyaan yang diajukan juri sepenuhnya merupakan kegiatan sehari-hari. Sebagai ins tusi bisnis pariwisata di Bali, Bali Sa-fari & Marine Park berupaya memegang dan melaksanakan

ga prinsip konsep kehidupan berkeseimbangan itu.Dicontohkannya pada konsep palemahan, di

Bali Safari & Marine Park mempunyai aturan 10 meters rules. Aturan itu bermakna bahwa se ap 10 meter dak boleh ada sampah dan tugas Juju seb-agai costumer experience yang harus mengontrol kehampir seluruh area di Bali Safari & Marine Park. Senyum dan sapa, wajib dilakukan merupakan salah satu hal sederhana bagaimana Bali Safai & Marine Park mengaplikasikan konsep pawongan.

Saat berbincang sejam bersama BTNewspa-per, Juju juga berbagi cerita mengenai pengala-mannya selama empat tahun di Bali Safari & Ma-rine park. Sejak menamatkan pendidikan jenjang Sarjana di Sastra Inggris, Juju bekerja di Bali Safari & Marine Park. Ke ka menginjak tahun ke- ga sempat terbesit dalam ha keinginannya un-

tuk berhen , namun keinginan tersebut dibatalkan karena Juju dinobatkan sebagai The Best Em-ployee, di tahun ke empat Juju direkrut sebagai supervisior dan akhirnya keinginan berhen pun mulai terlupakan.

Customer experience meru-pakan jabatannya saat ini, pera-nanan untuk memberikan pen-galaman yang terbaik kepada tamu. Ke ka tamu datang seorang costumer experience memberikan informasi tentang Bali Safari & Marine Park sekaligus memenuhi

keinginan dan kebutuhan yang diperlukan tamu. Tantangan yang harus dihadapi seorang customer experience adalah bagaimana memberikan kepua-san kepada tamu dari baru datang hingga pulang, sehingga kedepannya tamu tersebut ingin dan terus berkunjung ke Bali Safari & Marine Park.

Juju berharap kedepannya agar semua hotel yang ada di Bali baik kelas mela sampai berbin-tang agar mengaplikasikan konsep Tri Hita Karana, agar ciri khas Bali masih tetap ada. “Bali merupakan Pulau yang terkenal dengan adat is adat dan kebudayaan, otoma s seiring berjalannya arus Globalisasi akan semakin banyak pembangunan hotel yang akan menyempitkan lahan di Bali.

VIINo. 100 February 25 - March 10, 2015COVER STORY

THROUGH the Tumpek Kandang ritual, people are expected to develop the livestock sector to strengthen the economic founda ons.

On Tumpek Kandang, animals especially ca le are made some celebratory obla ons. Es-sen ally, devotees worship the Lord Shiva Pasu-pa as manifesta on of God serving as the king of all the living things. In the ritual procession, devotees invoke blessing in order their ca le could be bestowed with prime health and safety.

However, philosophically the Tumpek Kan-dang celebra on implies that people should develop compassion for all the living creatures. In the economic context, the procession mandates that agricultural sector in the broader sense

(livestock) can be developed to strengthen the economic founda ons of society.

Similarly, the prayers are also recited for other livestock such as pigs, goats, chickens and ducks. Even, a pig for the Hindu community in Bali is o en used as a sort of saving or piggy bank. When people hold celebra-

ons, the pigs are slaughter or in emergency case they can be sold to meet the needs.

As the animals des ned for human food, chickens, ducks, pigs and so forth are o en used as a protein source to support the human life. To that end, those animals should be constantly developed.

However, other specific animals, especially those be-longed to the endangered species, should be preserved. For example, they are green turtles, Bali starlings, deers, monkeys and so forth. These rare animals must be maintained so as not to become ex nct.

To keep the endangered species from ex nc-on, Balinese people associate them with my-

thology. For instance, the animals are regarded as the property (duwe) of God such as the white cow, ape, fruit bats, snake and so on. Through

the mythology, devotees are actually encour-aged to conserve the wildlife by preserving them based on religious concepts. Mythology seems much more powerful than a call or an appeal to preserve the endangered species.

In the Hindu concept, no single thing is

without the power of God. Inside them lie the jivatman or the soul. On that account, the con-cept of developing compassion for all the God’s creatures should be con nued. Through the celebra on Tumpek Kandang, people should develop them well for the benefit of life and preserve the endangered species in order not to become ex nct. BTNewspaper/*/net

Bali Drug Prisoners Will be Relocated to Java for Execu on

A decision has been made to carry out the execu on of the two members of the “Bali Nine”sentenced to death outside the island of Bali.

As a result, it is presumed that Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan will soon be relocated to the Nusa Kambangan Prison Island in

Java where a firing squad will end their lives.The announcement from the State Prosecutor’s office follows

public pronouncements by Bali’s Governor that it would be best if the planned execu on of narco c offenders was not carried out in Bali.

It remains unclear if the next round of execu ons by the State expected in February will include Sukumaran and Chan. BTNewspa-per/*/balidiscovery

ON ONE of his first official working visits to Bali the In-donesian Minister of Tourism, Arief Yahya, said that the Meet-ing, Incen ve, Conference and Exhibi on (MICE) sector forms a mainstay in the Government’s plans to a ract 10 million visi-tors to Indonesia in 2015. To achieve this target, MICE sup-por ng facili es in Jakarta and Bali will con nue to need to be enhanced to ensure both des-

na ons become world-class conference and conven on des na ons.

Quoted by Metrobali.com, Yahya said: “MICE movements have progressed to where around five events come to Bali every day. In terms of facili es, Bali does not yet have a large exhibi on hall able to accommodate 50 – 100,000 people. This is an impediment for MICE operators in Bali. An exhibi on hall able to handle 100,000 people is being developed at Bumi Serpong Da-

mai (BSD) Tangerang. Hopefully (interna onal) products will be promoted in Indonesia in order that the MICE sector can developed.”

The Minister’s comments were made at a discussion with MICE operators held at Taman Nusa in Bali on Thursday and Friday, January 29-20, 2015. BTNewspaper/balidiscovery

The ICEVI Conference will take place Septem-ber 28- October 1, 2015 with 400 delegates from across Asia expected to a end.

According to Sri Sudarsono, “This organiza on is humanitarian in nature. And, this conference wants to raise public awareness to ensure a wider accep-tance of those with disabili es within society.” BTNewspaper/ICEVI Website/balidiscovery
