Travelling to Banten

Monday, September 10, 2012

Let me tell you something about Banten, a young province that are geographically close to Jakarta, the capital of the Republic of Indonesia. Province where I live now.

The province is still very young, and still have many shortcomings compared to other provinces, although it is very close to the seat of government of the Republic of Indonesia. The level of foreign tourist visits to the banten only reached 20,604 people last year (from Radar Banten). Let alone to compete with Malaysia or Thailand, to Jogjakarta and Bali is still far behind.


The main problem is the infrastructure of tourism banten. Call it a matter of roads, ports and airports are not ready to make tourism banten worldwide. Local resources were not ready, and the attention of the local government is lacking to make tourism banten become stagnant.

In fact, Banten has many world-class tourism potential. As a province that has a vast coastal area, Banten save gem in the form of beaches are very beautiful and still unspoiled many tourists. Only a few of them such as Sawarna Beach, Bagedur Beach or Tanjung Lesung Beach.

Do not believe? Please googling with the keyword beach before, see for yourself how the beauty of the beach.

In addition to marine tourism, there are also eco-tourism in the Park is home, a place where they can be found Javan rhino in its natural habitat. Or maybe you've heard of Krakatoa, a volcano eruption under the sea is very shocking. The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 caused global climate change. The world was dark for two and a half days due to volcanic ash that covered the atmosphere. The sun was shining dim until next year. Scattering of dust visible in the sky Norway to New York. Check krakatau on wikipedia for more info on the 1883 Krakatau eruption.

The uniqueness of the other banten is cultural tourism. There is one group of indigenous people who consciously isolate himself from modernization. With awareness they reject modern technology.

Of course this is not the same as the definition of disadvantaged synonymous with contemporary technology can not catch up. They have strong principles to defend his point of view alone.

Bedouin residents refused education, even when the government wants to give it away for free to build supporting infrastructure, they still refused. The answer is simple but profound: "If we're smart, so we can fool people."

Unfortunately, foreigners are not allowed to enter the territory Baduy tribe's village.

But do not worry, next time I'll tell you more clearly about this Baduy tribe. Complete with pictures I could get of course, because the camera only allowed outside Baduy region.

I think quite up here first for now. Sorry if my article is still general, next time I'll tell you more details of each particular theme.
