Nagekeo and Tourism

I still remember when he was in town Kim Hae, Korean, Korean television broadcast

Nagekeo new district is a new district, but not nberarti notexists of interest in this region. Talk about your travel destination does not talk about a single destination (single destination). Attractive tourist destination must be packed in a big package. When packaged in a large package then Nagekeo still have the object of local traditions and cultural activities are interesting. Great packaging and tour Flores Komodo Flores is inserted between the tourist destinations such as Bena, Rebha and Riung Marine Park and the other is in Nagekeo. Our only question is what is in Nagekeo?

Talk about travel package, it is necessary excavation of cultural elements that can be packaged and promoted as an object of tourist visits. Middle Keo could have things that are not less interesting to be a tourist destination. There is an old village that has a unique traditional culture like Wajo. Woi weaving cultural activities and Pete in Maundai and Mauaromba, which is currently being initiated to construct a weaving studio SENDA lover. Also in Mauromba Ngana studio will be built SANI woven pandanus and palm. And no less interesting is the traditional culture that exist in the Kuwu Mauromba OLD. Activity slicing or sap tapped from palm trees and extracting sap so that quality wine, including activities that are not less unique and attractive when packaged properly.

Middle Keo and could be a point of visiting foreign tourists can be a place to experience village life (live in or home stay). In this region there are quite a lot of people's houses with small rooms and good bathrooms. Although not very special, but it can be accepted as a minimal faslitas worth living.

Package tour in lengths ranging from Labuan Bajo in Flores and Komodo toward ending in Maumere. Maumere through the tourists can take advantage of air or sea transportation with cruises to Bali. So that there is no turning tiring journey from Central Keo to the King, the government's support to build roads prasrana Maunori Nagaroro highly desirable.
On the way to the point created Nagaroro can still stop by to enjoy the coconut water or hot tea in Ipi Mbuu or fish curing place Mau Nua. Definitely exciting. We wait for the real support of the government to realize the idea of ​​the Middle Keo become a tourist destination.

NBC beautiful island of Flores was time excavated and managed to be developed as an alternative tourist areas in Indonesia, after Bangka, Bali, Lombok, Bunaken, and so on. One of the great potential that can be developed in the most eastern island of Nusa Tenggara is the development of nautical tourism, especially cruise tourism. As we know, marine tours include cruises, such as cruise ships, yachts, sailboats. Then, marine sports tourism, among others, water surfing (surfing), jetski, water skiing, paddle sports. 

Procurement beach volleyball competitions, beach soccer, also became one of the tours that can be sold. In addition, there are also underwater tourism, such as diving (diving), as well as fishing trips. Diving that has managed to attract the attention of the world is the National Tamana! & Riung island. In fact, on a temporary basis, Nias had been frequently visited by international cruise ships. However, what we expect is how this tour managed systematically, involving local stakeholders, as well as being "work together", the local government, provincial governments, and the center, as well as the tourism sector entrepreneurs. Cruise ships are passenger ships with full facilities, such as hotels, so it is often also referred to as a floating hotel and could walk. Foreign tourists often use tourist trips using cruise ships. Travel cruise tourists can distribute directly to the remote islands of Nias, where most terpencil.Pengembangan to marine tourism in Nias Island will provide a multiplier effect, in addition to employment, increase incomes, bring in foreign exchange for the country, can also encourage conservation environment. Thus, marine tourism economy can be a breakthrough to develop regional / small islands in Nias, an isolated that is not covered by land and air transport modes. Sightseeing cruises are now grown in Phuket, Indonesia and Jakarta Thailand.Bali thousand islands and the next target is NTT Flores island. .

Likewise cruises with a home base in Singapore yacht (Seaworld Group) and has had a special cruise ship terminal. In Malaysia, there are cruises in Penang and Port Klang (Genting Berhad Group) and has had a special harbor cruise in Langkawi. While in Indonesia, the existing domestic route cruises based in Bali with Bali and surrounding stretch. However, there is still no base cruise ships in Indonesia with an international trajectory. Another fact, in Indonesia, there is also the Komodo yacht race Manggarai-Darwin regularly. Licensing <br Procedure influx of international cruise ships and yachts to Indonesia is regulated in Circular of the Director General of Sea Transportation Department Number UM 48/4/13-01 dated March 9, 2001 on the operation of private yachts. In Item 3, paragraph a: foreign commercial cruise ship (cruise) in accordance with the applicable regulations for these can operate in Indonesia by appointing a national shipping company as its general agent. In Item 3, paragraph b: in operation in Indonesia, should first get an easy entry in the territory of Indonesia (Indonesian territory for clearance approval / CAIT), which includes the licensing permission from the Foreign Ministry, the security clearance of the Headquarters of the Indonesian National Army (TNI) and sailing permit from the Directorate General of Sea Transportation.

obstacle in the development of cruise tourism in Indonesia, including in Flores Island, among others, first, port tariffs and unloading of goods (port handling) in Indonesian ports is more expensive than Thailand, Malaysia , and Singapore. Secondly, the licensing procedure cruises in Indonesia is still very complicated. Third, the Indonesian port facilities for cruise ships is still not satisfactory compared with neighboring countries. Fourth, do not operate the route international cruise ships based in Indonesia. There are several advantages of cruise tourism in Nias Islands, among others, first, close to the island of Nias regional cruise lines are based in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Second, Nias island cruise lines crossed international long distance (long haul destination) from Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. Third

 Island has many exotic islands to be visited. Fourth, around the islands Flores NTT many major ports are fully equipped with facilities and close to attractions "one day tour",. Building infrastructure and various obstacles Seeing these advantages, to develop cruise tourism in Nias is necessary to build the infrastructure supporting maritime tourism in the islands of Nias, among other things, first, that built facilities CIQP (customs, immigration, quarantine, port authorities) to serve cruise ship docked in the area stop by without flores island. Second, in order to built a cruise ship passenger terminal with facilities worth CIQP, 3. Development specific to the marina or yacht port (private yacht).

Second, individuals promoting cruises Third, making touring activities / race jet skis, yachts cross the Straits of Malacca and around the island of Sumatra covering Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Sumatra (Indonesia). Fourth, making India sailboat race-Nias (like race sailboats floes; Darwin). Promotion international cruise ship aims to stretch the cruise ship would sail NTT.kepulauan Flores Flores islands visited by cruise ships using, first, the path Outer Indonesia : Go Indonesia Nusa Tengara Timur Flores,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (Singapore)

Flores Island

"The three water-filled craters of Keli Mutu on Flores, provide an almost surreal sight..."  

Flores island is a long, narrow mountainous island which stretches over   350 kilometers with dramatic volcanoes, mountain lakes and flora and fauna like no other island in the region. Even though 85% of its inhabitants are Roman Catholic, the island is still as ethnographically diverse as Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) itself. The capital of Flores, Maumere, has direct daily flights to Kupang and Bali and is well serviced by ferries and the Pelni ships as well as several privately operated shipping lines.                                                                                                                                             Flores ikat weaving process The Three Colored Lakes of Keli Mutu are recognized as a natural wonder.  The colors of the lakes have changed over the years, is it the changing chemical or biological composition of the craters' water causing this color change - ponder on it while you viewone of Indonesia's most mysterious and dramatic sights.  Flores Island   exemplifies  diversity more than any other region of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), from the varying motifs of the Ikat weavings of Sikka, Manggari and Nggela to the spectacular Three Colored Lakes of Keli Mutu contrasting with the pristine coral gardens of the Seventeen Island National Reserve of Riung. Whether giant monitor lizard watching in  Damu Bay or experiencing the dusk flight of the thousands of flying foxes on Ontoloe Island - Flores Island is as diverse as it is beautiful.                                                             Kelimutu Flores island is the home to some of the most traditional ceremonies and rituals of both Catholic and Animalistic backgrounds. The breath taking ritual whip fighting of Manggari , the solemn Catholic Easter festival in Larantuka.  Traditional boxing bouts called "sagi" or "etu" still take place on a regular basis in Bajawa inviting all to witness this age old sport which is  again based on their traditional belief of survival of the fittest!  In addition, relics and artifacts are to be found throughout the length and breadth of Flores Island, like the prehistoric bronze boat from the Dongsong era, called Dobo or Baobatung in a village near Maumere, where it is carefully kept by the people as an ancestral heirloom. Labuanbajo, a traditional fishing village, lies at the  extreme western part of Flores Island. It has recently developed as a local diving destination and serves as a jumping off point for the trip to Komodo Island. There are many other interesting places to visit around Labuanbajo, the petrified forest and several spectacular caves like Batu Cermin, Batu Susun and Waraloka Cave, antique ceramics have been found at the latter.                                       Flores Island is also known as the habitat of giant Lizards know as Komodo Dragons which have been found in Manggarai, Riung, Ngada and the northern areas of Ende. The Komodo Dragon (Varanus Komodoensis) grows up to 4 metres in length and have roamed this area for the last half a million years.
