Planning
After he made certain about the destination of the trip Wicak set his vacation time. The departure date will be June 19-23, 2013. The next step, he went online to get informations and recommendations. He also discussed the trip with his wife and children. Through discussions and information hunting in the internet they decided the destinations and tourist sites that will be their target after the trip to Mount Bromo. After a long search the family waas settled to make Surabaya as the arrival and departure point from Jakarta. Surabaya is the alternative because there are lots of flight in and out of the city. So there should be a lot of choices and I can surf the internet to look for cheap tickets, explained Wicak. The next step is to arrange the itinerary. Jakarta Surabaya Bromo Batu Surabaya Jakarta will be the route and it will be specified to a more detailed tourist sites. Again the internet and friends recommendations are the best reference. Next, Wicak surf the internet for cheap tickets, to book a hotel for four days and a Toyota Hardtop as their transportation to cross the sandy plain of Bromo. I was recommended To rent the jeep by a friend. My consideration was a good driver who knows the area well. I got the price of Rp. 600.000/day including gasoline and driver.
UVA: UVA donates about 95% of UV radiation that enter the earth atmosphere and penetrating the glass. Over exposure can cause
PA+, PA ++, PA +++: is a sign that show the product to protect skin from UVA. The more a + sign is written on the product the longer it will protect the skin from UVA.
unbathing in the ocean or in the mountain during holiday is exciting. We can relax and get benefit out of the sun. New research from Edinburgh University Dermatologist, London, England as what has been published at bbc.co.uk, mentioned that the sun is not only rich in vitamin D but also proven to help lower down blood pressure and give good impact to the heart.

Keep Cautious
The sun light over exposure may be harmful. So it is best to be cautious,
even though you will not feel the impact directly. Many researches show that over exposed to sun light can lower the skin immune that may easily irritated and infected the skin, the appearance of black spot and premature aging. Too much ultraviolet radiation will cause cataract and different types of cancer such as skin or eye cancer. The ozone thin layer is believed to give great percentage on ultraviolet radiation conductance to earth. The Vision Council London lately appealed to always wear sunglasses when having outdoor activities in a long period of time. The appeal is not only for adults but also children.
Tips
Protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation with sunscreen cream It is recommended to apply sunscreen cream every two hours cover yourself with hat Dont stay too long under the sun, especially above 10 AM Dont wear tight clothes when having activities under the sun. Tight clothes will directly lead the radiation to the skin. Wear loose clothes. Wear sunglasses. Dont rely only on foundation, powder, or any other makeup that contain sunscreen protection. Those kinds of makeup are not for outdoor. keep on wearing sunscreen cream on cloudy weather. Ultraviolet radiation especially UVA happens in the morning, afternoon, evening and in any weather. Dont forget to protect your lips with lip balm that contain ultraviolet protection.
Remember! The level of SPF and PA stated on the product does not relate to the level of protection the product can give. Instead it indicates the length of time of the protection. The highest the SPF level, the longer the protection will be.
ts going to be fun to spend the holiday at Bromo, said 13 year old Sastra Jendra Hayudiningrat and 10 year old Wangi Bunga Savana after they watched the beauty of Mount Bromo on the 5 cm movie. Their comments have moved their father Wicaksono, known as Wicak, to plan the trip. He is also known as Ndoro Kakung in the blogger world. As holiday approaching the thought of Mount Bromo that has cristalized in their mind was finally executed. This time Wicak did out of the ordinary by planning the trip by air from Jakarta to Surabaya. With the traffic condition its hard to enjoy the trip. Jakarta, Bandung and the North Coast is always congested espeially in June approaching the month of Ramadhan. Cost wise it wasnt too different driving and flying, but driving was surely exhausting, said Wicak explaining his choice of vacation this year.
Never Ignore Sun Screen!

52
Ultraviolet radiation is said to be one of the cause of premature aging, black spot, cataract and skin cancer. So, never ignore to wear sun screen!
Should danger spoil your planned vacation? Dont! Take action to avoid danger without ruining your excitement. Put on sun screen, wear hat, loose clothes and other clothing that can protect your skin from the radiation. Before applying sun screen it is best to have a clear understanding on the product that is called sun block. Here are some terminologies used that need to be comprehended. UV: Ultraviolet radiation (UV). Researches show that over exposed to UV radiation can interrupt skin health. Researchers called UV radiation as the cause of different types of skin cancer like no melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and alkali, cell carcinoma. UV is divided into UVA and UVB. The radiation can penetrate earth atmosphere and danger to skin health.
damage to the skin among many are the appearance of black spot and premature aging. The research also mentions over exposed by UVA can be the main cause of many types of skin cancer. UVB: the emission of UVB cannot penetrate glass. Over exposure of UVB can cause skin burn and redness. SPF (Sun Protection Factor): beside mentioning its benefit, to protect skin from UVA and UVB radiation, sun block lotion usually write the content of the SPF for instance SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 50 or even SPF 90. The numbers show the length of time the sun screen is able to protect the skin from UVB exposure. The longer you are exposed to UVB the highest SPF should be chosen.

isit West Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan, when you have a chance. The departure point to every activity in the regency is in Pangkalan Bun. Lodging is not to be concerned, since Pangkalan Bun has a lot of hotels with various styles from a unique concept to those with stars, from 200 thousands to million rupiahs per night. All you need to think of is transportation. Public transportations in Pangkalan Bun are not reliable. There are a lot of ojek that stop at every street corner, but if you want your trip to be pleasant you can rent a car for 400 to 450 thousand per day.
Tanjung Puting
Tanjung Puting National Park is usually the main destination for tourist who comes to Central Kalimantan specifically to Pangkalan Bun. This research, conservation and wild free location for orangutan is famous overseas. To get to Tanjung Puting you have to go through Kumai Harbor about one hour travel from Pangkalan Bun. At the harbor you can rent a speed boat or a klotok boat. The trip to Tanjung Puting with the klotok boat takes about six hours. You can enjoy the speed of the boat while sightseeing to the right and left of the river. Long tailed monkeys hang on the trees. Birds fly or perch on the branches. Sometimes you can see crocodiles sunbathing quietly that you might think a floating log. The water color of the Sekonyer River has its own story. At the beginning of the journey the water looks brownish because of the pollution causes by the illegal mining in the area. As you get closer to Tanjung Puting National Park, the water changes to black and reddish color. In fact it is the original water color of rivers in Kalimantan. The dark color is caused by the reflection of the old tree trunk under the water. The water is so clear that the objects underneath can be reflected. When night comes, the boat will dock by the river bank. Enjoy the

dark sky sprinkled with stars, the sound of the nature and if you are lucky you can see fireflies enlighten the atmosphere. Do not worry on what to eat. If you ride the klotok boat to Tanjung Puting, you can hire a cook to indulge your appetite with main dishes and snacks. But if you take the speed boat please bring food along. Before entering Tanjung Pu ting, Camp Leakey is the first stop to rest, to eat lunch and to take care of the paperwork such as, reporting to the local authority and buying tickets. The speed boats travel time is shorter compared to klotok boat. That is why most tourists who do a one day trip will pick the speed boat as their transportation. They depart in the morning and back to Kumai harbor in the evening.

It is prohibited to give the orangutan food but in reality tourists violate the rule. One of the attractions that you can see in Tanjung Puting is the feeding of the orangutan that is just being set free and needed adjustment.

FAMILy VAcATION
Planned Trip Save Cost
Wicaksono Family
The 5 cm movie has inspired Wicaksono, chief editor of PlasaMSN.com, and his family to spend the school holiday at Mount Bromo, East Java.
ts going to be fun to spend the holiday at Bromo, said 13 year old Sastra Jendra Hayudiningrat and 10 year old Wangi Bunga Savana after they watched the beauty of Mount Bromo on the 5 cm movie. Their comments have moved their father Wicaksono, known as Wicak, to plan the trip. He is also known as Ndoro Kakung in the blogger world. As holiday approaching the thought of Mount Bromo that has cristalized in their mind was finally executed. This time Wicak did out of the ordinary by planning the trip by air from Jakarta to Surabaya. With the traffic condition its hard to enjoy the trip. Jakarta, Bandung and the North Coast is always congested espeially in June approaching the month of Ramadhan. Cost wise it wasnt too different driving and flying, but driving was surely exhausting, said Wicak explaining his choice of vacation this year.
35
Planning
After he made certain about the destination of the trip Wicak set his vacation time. The departure date will be June 19-23, 2013. The next step, he went online to get informations and recommendations. He also discussed the trip with his wife and children. Through discussions and information hunting in the internet they decided the destinations and tourist sites that will be their target after the trip to Mount Bromo. After a long search the family waas settled to make Surabaya as the arrival and departure point from Jakarta. Surabaya is the alternative because there are lots of flight in and out of the city. So there should be a lot of choices and I can surf the internet to look for cheap tickets, explained Wicak. The next step is to arrange the itinerary. Jakarta Surabaya Bromo Batu Surabaya Jakarta will be the route and it will be specified to a more detailed tourist sites. Again the internet and friends recommendations are the best reference. Next, Wicak surf the internet for cheap tickets, to book a hotel for four days and a Toyota Hardtop as their transportation to cross the sandy plain of Bromo. I was recommended To rent the jeep by a friend. My consideration was a good driver who knows the area well. I got the price of Rp. 600.000/day including gasoline and driver.
The field trip and hiking track to the Bromo crater

Rejoice
Santi, Wicaks wife, prepared basic medication. She also prepared some traditional remedy for the children. On the D day they depart for Surabaya. As they arrived at Juanda airport arented car was ready to take them to Bromo. On the way the children had a chance to see Suramadu Bridge and stop by at the location of Lapindo Mud. The purpose was to let the children witness in real what they have seen on television. They reach Bromo at 3.30 PM. They went straight to Kafe Lava Inn with a Rp. 600.000/night rate. Kafe Lava Inn was picked up because of the wifi and some recommendations of local and foreign tourists. At dawn Jendra and Bunga was so eager to get ready to head for Pananjakan with the rented Jeep which often used for sandy desert and rocky road. From Pananjakan they continued the journey by horse and foot heading for the spot where they can feast their eyes with the magnificent sunrise. The kids had their clothing ready skullcaps, gloves, jacket and raincoat to cover their body from the dew. Their next destination was the crater. This time Wicak decided to stay in the Jeep while his wife and children enjoy the horse riding and stepping each step towards the crater. The journey continued to the Whispering Sand and Teletabies Hill.
Batu
They got back to the inn just in time for lunch. After they enjoy their meal and packed up their belongings they carried on with their journey to Batu, East Java. Batu is a city known as Little Switzerland of Java. They spent the night at Royal Orchid Garden. The next day, the childrens felicity was poured out at Jatim Park 2. At Bromo the kids were amazed by the sand whereas here they cant stop moving. The animals, the rides and the shows cant stop them from trying each one. They played since 10 AM until the place closed at 6 PM. They said its not enough and wanted to come back some other time, told Wicak laughing. After a short rest at the hotel, they went to Batu Night Spectacular. A recreational place opens at night that combines culinary and childrens games. Jendra and Bunga spend their time playing until midnight. Tireless, the kids woke up the next morning with the same spirit. They seem to have an extra energy to play at Safari Garden, Pandaan. They explore the arena and play. The peak of the occasion was to watched the Cowboy Show. The kids love this show. It has lots of surprises like water splashes that make them

SITU PATOK
Nasi Jamblang
With the morning train, we headed for Cirebon. It was my first trip to the city. While listening to the roaring of the train, I had doubt on the trip. Would it be possible to visit the citys tourist destinations and culinary places in just one day? This was an interesting challenge that I looked forward to. I was tempted to have breakfast on the train. But the tour guide suggested on holding our hunger. After a three hour trip we arrived at Cirebon Station. The ground was still wet from last nights rain. In front of the station the tour ojek , the communitys partnership was ready to take us. The fleet was commanded by Venggar the manager of the tour ojek . The group set out to the first destination that was Nasi Jamblang breakfast at Mang Dul, Cipto Street. That morning the eatery was already filled with customers. Nasi Jamblang is fist size rice wrapped in teak leaf. Because the rice is only a fist size, one is not enough. People usually eat more than two. There were various side dishes to go with the rice, such as, goreng otak, quail eggs satay, squid, tofu, krupuk kulit chips, fritters and many more. There were 25 different dishes that we can select. But the red chili paste that has savory, sour, sweet taste but not too hot was the best.

never thought visiting tourist destinations and culinary places in one day can be done neatly and pleasantly. I am so lucky to be part of the One Day Travelling, a community that facilitates busy people who want to enjoy life with traveling. Solo, Jogja, Medan, Bandung, Garut, Cirebon, has been explored by the community. A while ago I had a chance to travel with the community, led by Raga Dipa a 22 year old who loves traveling and art, to the Shrimp City Cirebon, West Java. On the fixed date, we ga thered at Gambir Station at 5.15 AM. There were five of us who traveled that day. The train and other on land transportations are always the choice for every trip. In principle, we toured to places that can be reached
within less than five hours from Jakarta without the airplane revealed Raga. But this principle is not a set thing. If most members requested a trip that requires airplane, it will still be done. Up to this moment traveling is still a one day trip. We leave in the morning and return in the evening without staying overnight.

Sunyaragi Cave
After the Kasepuhan palace we raced to the village of Graksan, Tamansari, where we could see the Sunyaragi Cave. Sunya means quiet and Ragi means body. In the past the cave was used for meditation. Tracing in and out of the cave was exciting. We entered the dark and narrow cave then we crossed a little bridge and back into the cave. After that we looped near the lychee tree. Not far from the tree we saw an art performance stage.
Berpose di depan Keraton Kasepuhan, Cirebon.
Kasepuhan Palace
After breakfast the group rushed to the Kasepuhan Palace. The palace was celebrating the Prophet Mohammeds Maul. There were lots of visitors and vendors surrounding the palace. To reach the court of the palace, built in 1529 by Mas Mochammad Arifin II the great grandchild of Sunan Gunung Jati, we had to pass the some vendors. They were there during the festivity. These vendors sold varieties of snacks such as giant onde-onde three times the regular size. Some vendors sold home appliances. In fact, there were also fortune teller and charm seller among the vendors. After we purchased the entrance tickets, a guide fluently explained every corner of the palace. We started at the well maintained main gate to the utmost part of the palace where the kings throne located. On the steps to the throne there where ornaments and ceramics decorated with pictures taken from the Bible story. From the main hall we were taken to the weapon storage. They store weaponry such as Keris in that place. And then the guide led us to the golden chariot. It has a unique shape, the front part resembles a dragon where as the back part has the shape of a horse. The chariot is made of black wooden steel. It was designed by one of the prince before the Dutch conquered the country. The great thing about the chariot is its advance technolo gy. It uses rocking suspension and power steering. In the old days chariots are pulled by buffalo, on bumpy roads the spring will rock and the tongue of fire come in and out of the dragons mouth. The chariot has a pair of wings on the left and right that move constantly as if they flap. Interestingly, It has been the target of chariot collectors around the world.
Trusmi Batik
From the cave we headed for the Batik Trade Center in Trusmi. Every batik maker sends their work here. Buyers will freely picked the style, color, print and price of their choice. The prices were tagged between 45 thousand to 500 thousand rupiahs. Along the way, we could see little boutiques that sell Batik. If you cant find anything that you like at the batik center, you can try at these boutiques.

Empal Gentong
After a long shopping spree we eventually got hungry. The tour bike rider swiftly took us to a restaurant called Empal Gentong Mang Darma. The restaurant has been around since 1947 . The taste of the empal, fried spiced beef chunks, was so delightful with slices of rice cake and sprinkled with dried chili.
Souvenir Center
After we indulge ourselves with the food, we rushed to Pangestu souvenir center, located at South Sukalila Street. There we can find selections of gifts a specialty of Cirebon. We can buy krupuk kulit, shrimp krupuk, shrimp paste, sambal rebon, salty fish sambal, Tjampolai syrup and many more that you can take home. Finally it was time to go home. We had to rush back to the station. After a quick rest and pictures taking for a half hour, we were ready to leave. Wow! We explore Cirebon in one day. It was true.

Coffee lovers must enjoy the taste of West Java coffee at Parahyangan Koffie, located at the Floating Market, Lembang, Bandung.
Coffee
nly few people know that Papandayan and Pengalengan are the first coffee plantation in Indonesia which was successfuly planted with Arabica coffee beans brought by Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles (1811). In fact, Raffles had tried to grow Arabica coffee tree in Bengkulu, but failed. The English botanist concluded
that Arabican can only grow on a land 1000 meters above sea level. History recorded, West Java was the producer of the number one quality coffee in the world. Unfortunately, as time went by the title disappeared. Papandayan and Pengalengan, is better known for its tourist attractions and tea plantations said Alexander coffee lovers and self-taught coffee expert.
Red Wine Coffee

Luckily, there are coffee drinkers that still care about West Java Coffee. Therefore when entrepreneur meets an idealistic coffee expert, they decide to built Parahyangan Koffie. Nicolaus Iskandar and Alexander agreed to colaborate in regaining the glory days of West Java coffee. They buy coffee beans above the market price from the farmers. The difference in price is given in a form of fertilizers. The product is not only marketed in the country but also overseas. China is the first country to import Parahyangan Koffie. They welcome Parahyangan Koffie. Especially the special edition coffee. How can coffee tastes like red wine, thats what they said, explained Nicolaus laughing. Alexander explains, the taste of coffee depends on the nu trient and age of the soil, harvesting technique, sorts of coffee, maintenance, postharvest handling proccess, and roasting process. Storing technique affect the process of fermentation and coffee flavor, said Alexander. According to Alexander, coffee has a lot of varieties in flavor because of the external factors and its ability to absorb odor. There is a coffee plantation in Guatemala that offers coffee with orange flavor. People love it. Although it is expensive, 19 million rupiahs per kilo. Eventhough it needs a lot of
processes, but we can do the same one here. Coffee with o range flavor is grown alternately between a row of coffee and orange tree. In Pengalengan there is coffee with green tea flavor, 100 green tea trees are grown around the coffee plantation to help shield them from the wind. The bottom line we are rich but unnoticed let alone cultivated, explained Alexander.
Parahyangan Coffee
Alexander and Niclaus not only carry Parahyangan Koffie brand to China but also offered coffee with the same brand at the Floating Market area in Lembang, Bandung. It is so enjoyable sipping a cup of West Java coffee processed in a Japanese coffee maker, Chiffon . Relaxing on a wooden chair while laying your eyes on the cafes traditional interior, the lake view outspread in front of our eyes, the afternoon sunlight that penetrates through tiny holes around the cafe which formed golden lines as if we are in a painting. Almost three hours has passed. Visitors came in and out of the cafe, observing the coffee bean display, enjoying the coffee flavor, pamper themselves with the view of the nature, the sound of water splashing and the brezee. The sky gets dark. It is time to go. Finished the second cup of coffee made with the Vietnam Drip and headed home.

TRIcK & TIPS

52
unbathing in the ocean or in the mountain during holiday is exciting. We can relax and get benefit out of the sun. New research from Edinburgh University Dermatologist, London, England as what has been published at bbc.co.uk, mentioned that the sun is not only rich in vitamin D but also proven to help lower down blood pressure and give good impact to the heart.
Keep Cautious
The sun light over exposure may be harmful. So it is best to be cautious,
even though you will not feel the impact directly. Many researches show that over exposed to sun light can lower the skin immune that may easily irritated and infected the skin, the appearance of black spot and premature aging. Too much ultraviolet radiation will cause cataract and different types of cancer such as skin or eye cancer. The ozone thin layer is believed to give great percentage on ultraviolet radiation conductance to earth. The Vision Council London lately appealed to always wear sunglasses when having outdoor activities in a long period of time. The appeal is not only for adults but also children.
Protection
Should danger spoil your planned vacation? Dont! Take action to avoid danger without ruining your excitement. Put on sun screen, wear hat, loose clothes and other clothing that can protect your skin from the radiation. Before applying sun screen it is best to have a clear understanding on the product that is called sun block. Here are some terminologies used that need to be comprehended. UV: Ultraviolet radiation (UV). Researches show that over exposed to UV radiation can interrupt skin health. Researchers called UV radiation as the cause of different types of skin cancer like no melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and alkali, cell carcinoma. UV is divided into UVA and UVB. The radiation can penetrate earth atmosphere and danger to skin health. UVA: UVA donates about 95% of UV radiation that enter the earth atmosphere and penetrating the glass. Over exposure can cause
damage to the skin among many are the appearance of black spot and premature aging. The research also mentions over exposed by UVA can be the main cause of many types of skin cancer. UVB: the emission of UVB cannot penetrate glass. Over exposure of UVB can cause skin burn and redness. SPF (Sun Protection Factor): beside mentioning its benefit, to protect skin from UVA and UVB radiation, sun block lotion usually write the content of the SPF for instance SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 50 or even SPF 90. The numbers show the length of time the sun screen is able to protect the skin from UVB exposure. The longer you are exposed to UVB the highest SPF should be chosen. PA+, PA ++, PA +++: is a sign that show the product to protect skin from UVA. The more a + sign is written on the product the longer it will protect the skin from UVA.
Ultraviolet radiation is said to be one of the cause of premature aging, black spot, cataract and skin cancer. So, never ignore to wear sun screen!
53
Tips
Protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation with sunscreen cream It is recommended to apply sunscreen cream every two hours cover yourself with hat Dont stay too long under the sun, especially above 10 AM Dont wear tight clothes when having activities under the sun. Tight clothes will directly lead the radiation to the skin. Wear loose clothes. Wear sunglasses. Dont rely only on foundation, powder, or any other makeup that contain sunscreen protection. Those kinds of makeup are not for outdoor. keep on wearing sunscreen cream on cloudy weather. Ultraviolet radiation especially UVA happens in the morning, afternoon, evening and in any weather. Dont forget to protect your lips with lip balm that contain ultraviolet protection.
Remember! The level of SPF and PA stated on the product does not relate to the level of protection the product can give. Instead it indicates the length of time of the protection. The highest the SPF level, the longer the protection will be.

In Line Water Tourism Phenomenon

NDONESIA possesses thousands of unexplored potential fresh water tourism. There are 5.950 drainage basins and 1.575 lakes to benefit as tourist attraction to improve the peoples welfare and at the same time arouse awareness on nature rearing and preservation. How to harmonize raising the potential, marketing and preservation awareness seems to be the problem. According to Sapta Nirwandar,
Deputy Minister of Tourism, the three matters mentioned interrelated. Many countries are developing potential fresh water tourism which is called in line water tourism. In line with the Tourism Day theme held on September 27th, Tourism and Water: Protecting our Common Future. Following is part of the interview between Destinasi Indonesia and Sapta Nirwandar on potentials and marketing strategy &promotion related to in line water tourism.
The event that combines sports and cultural tourism has become an accurate marketing strategy and at the same time actuating the region in developing river and lake tourism
What is the obstacle in developing in line water tourism in Indonesia? River and lake management in many countries in Europe has been regulated and laid-out. The infrastructures are more organized and easy to care. Indonesia needs different approaches. The development of river and lake tourism has already been done in written instruction. What is the way out? The best way is to create agenda with news value that will be the attention of the media. Those two things can motivate the region to work together to build river and lake tourism. Of course it needs coordination between central and regional government. In this case the role of mass media is very important. Coverage on the process and preparation of infrastructure can spur on the region to bring target into reality. Has this been done in the past? Tour de Singkarak, an international scale bike race, has proven this to be an effective way. The regent and his deputy always attend the coordination meeting. On a certain level the meeting is attended by the governor. Control is done by the media through its coverage. Once there was an inspection before the event and found out that one region was not ready. As soon as it was in the news, in marathon they finished the work. The event was proven successful and the building of the supporting infrastructure went smoothly. People can feel the benefit right away. Will the government hold this type of event on river and lake? This is the most effective way in promoting and marketing the river and lake tourism and at the same time to motivate the regional government and customary society to move forward in building and decorating their region. This is more effective than just delivering instruction by the central government. What kind event is effective? The combination of sport tourism and cultural
55
Blitz Photographed: Destinasi Indonesia/Fahdi Wijaya Sudjana Destinasi Indonesia |
tourism, especially an international sports competition can be a fast way to invite tourist. It has a great news value to be covered by the media. We can rearrange existing festivals and create new festivals with interesting concepts. For instance, developing heritage tourism by utilizing Batanghari River that used to be a trade route, holding fashion shows on top of a boat, music festivals and many more. What kind of impact is expected? Firstly, of course this is to increase peoples welfare. As a result of seeing the river and lake can elevate their welfare, there will be awareness in protecting what can be used to make a living. Developing river and lake tourism can trigger the development of hotel and infrastructure. Vietnam and Thailand have successfully benefited Mekong and Chao Phraya River. We have a greater potential. Maybe one day guestroom hotel build facing the river can have higher value.

SOUTH SeA PeARL
outh Sea Pearl is the best pearl in the world which can only be found in Indonesia and Australia. Unfortunately not too many Indonesian have the knowledge on pearl. It is not surprising if the Chinese, Japanese and Australian come to Indonesia to cultivate the Indonesian pearls. The product is sold overseas particularly the top grade quality AAA and AA.

During monetary crisis in 1998 the price of gold and diamond are declining, but the price of pearl is steady even increasing, said Kengrry Retanubun, director of CV Rosario Mutiara Ambrosius. A top grade quality South Sea Pearl is the same price as a house. But the production of top grade quality are very limited only 0,5% a year in every farm. But overall Indonesia is the biggest pearl producer in the world, preceding Australia, the Philippines, and Myanmar. The South Sea Pearl is the best quality in the world, followed by Black Pearl from the Southern Pacific, Akoya from Japan and Vietnam and then Fresh Water Pearl from China. Overseas, particularly Europe, south sea pearl has been status symbol exceeding other jewelry, said Ambrosius.

tourism and ecosystem protection through conservation activities, said Sudirman Saad, Director General KP3K, explaining the concept of Minatourism. There are 92 outermost islands in Indonesia, and 31 islands among them are inhabited. Although each island has their own extraordinary natural resources but in general infrastruc-
tures are very limited. For that reason Sudirman explain, every institution need to participate including private and public universities. Currently, KKP is focusing on developing 12 small outermost islands. Those islands are Sebatik, Nusakambangan, Miangas, Marore, Marampit, Lingayan, Maratua, Wetar, Alor, Enggano, Simuk and Dubi Kecil. The development of the small outermost islands is an effort to

Investor
Currently there are investors who are willing to develop Anambas Island in Riau Islands, Raja Ampat in Papua, and Tiga Gili Island in West Nusa Tenggara.

support the master plan of the acceleration and expansion of Indonesias economical development, to provide opportunity in tourism, and to help the government to protect the countrys defense and sovereignty. If we dont develop the islands the case of Sipada Ligitan will happen again. Moreover, the economics of these small islands are potential. For instance, there are many islands can be develop into resorts and diving spots. Base on the concept of Minatourism the development and investment should not damage the ecosystem of the existing island, said Sudirman.
