Tourists shunned Cultural Tourism Attractions

Mask Dance

VARIOUS cultural tourist attraction that was held in various regions across the country, threatened not going to be held back. In fact feared messy and can be only installed on a calendar event national tour, but was not clear when the implementation.

The reason, cultural tourism attractions that raise the local culture, which is expected to siphon tourist local, national as well as expecting the arrival of international tourists, had turned one hundred eighty degrees. Because there are more and not interested to watch.

Evidently, the number of local visitors or tourists who came to watch cultural attractions that continue to decrease, decreased drastically. And the attraction is less satisfactory than the number of local visitors. Likewise, the national tourist was invisible bridge of his nose. If yes ... there is at best an invitation and the committee. Moreover, tourists mancanegaranya not hope to come. Pathetic indeed.

Monitoring during 2008, such as the Festival Krakatau in Lampung, Musi Festival in Kilkenny, Gebyar Tourism in Tangerang Banten, West Kalimantan and Singkawang Festival last Festival Concerned Citizens of Lake Kerinci in Jambi, the cultural attractions that really the concern of the visitors, tourists.
Although the cultural attractions held free of charge, but no more lively than the visitors. Silence. No attention, whether cultural attractions that have shunned society that category of local tourists? That's exactly the conditions that exist in our society today.

Quiet the local tourist visitors, occur for many reasons. Generally, tourist attractions that seem monotonous, boring, saturating since no variation is interesting dish. Also, there's no interest in the attractions that make for addiction come.

Monotonous because of the attractions are presented this year, like the presentation in previous years even are even worse. Boring because it held before the tourist attractions, welcome committee, head of the region until the minister considered to be very long and time-consuming. "This tourist attraction or approaching election campaign officials," said a visitor as she watched the opening of the Festival Krakatau in Lampung.

Saturate because of the tourist attractions so that's it. Evidence, on Krakatoa Festival featured dances are all about dance mask, what no other dance. Pemda Lampung fact might bring dance Lion Dance, Reog Ponorogo, drum band traditional Balinese arts and other areas it is still a lot!.
Similarly, while attending the Festival of Concerned Citizens of Lake Kerinci in Jambi that used highly hailed the local tourists. In 2007, enthusiastic people to witness the cultural event that area is quite high. During the last week the show was always crowded with visitors attractions. However, solid word that, for 2008 do not expect any more.

In regard to national tourists and foreign tourists who do not come, yes because promotion is not no how to attract tourists. Promotion, publications once or twice it would not clear imprint, never will remind tourists. Moreover, it was just done in the promotion of regional or provincial level, so do not expect to get more.
Supposedly, the promotion was conducted one year before the attractions of tourism held once a month and then proceed to display different information on the development of the tourist attractions. It's happened so far, a month before the committee held tourist attraction busy area is not clear what was done. So how mencitpakan image that event.

Frankly, the tourist attractions of the substantive issue. Unfortunately, big-budget expenditure was not matched by greater feedback. In fact, tourist attraction event that was held at this time seem just wasting funds. If this happens, very sad.

How at the central level, namely the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the handle, monitor the progress of tourism across Indonesia seems also less active, less active, less concerned in helping the promotion of cultural tourism attractions in the area. If it so, how the Indonesian tourism can advance?
