Development of Community-Based Program for Improving the Competitiveness of Bacan Island’s Tourism
Product development and innovations laboratory also in charge of doing one of the Community Engagement Grants by developing the community tourism program of Bacan Island in South Halmahera in order to increase their tourism competitiveness.
We all believe that Bacan Island in South Halmahera is one of the most beautiful islands in Indonesia and also have great nature potentions, sadly it is not yet well managed. There are various classy tourism objects like Kesultanan Bacan, Portugis Bernaveld Fortress, Dermaga Biru dan Dermaga Merah at Sibela Beach, Air Mata Belanda, Amasing Waterfall, Pinggir Swering Traditional Market, Penamboang Beach, Kali Barangka Dolong, and Cagar Alam Gunung Sibela. But these potential tourism objects are not yet well known by tourists.
Therefore our program’s main objective is to promote South Halmahera beautiful tourism objects by the help of the community and also the government. There are other purposes of this program like increasing community awareness and simplify tourism information access of South Halmahera, increasing the tourism service quality of Bacan Island South Halmahera in order to add cooperation opportunity with other tourism institutions, and increase community revenue through tourism sector and batu bacan trading.
There are also some benefits of this programs like the access of tourism information of South Halmahera are increased, the number of community involved in this program are increased, the number of domestic tourists and foreign tourists are increased for 5%, and the growing number of articles or news about Bacan Island tourism.
This community engagement grants will be done in 3 years time hopefully this program will be done on time and in line with our expectations so that the community of South Halmahera can experience the great impact of our community engagement program.
