Bali - Mass Tourism in Developing Countries

Auteure: Olesja Büchner

Nombre de pages: 73

Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Peoples / Nations, grade: Good, La Trobe University Melbourne (Sociology), course: Development, Globalisation and Culture, 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: To be in a paradise which is exotic, strange, with amazing landscapes and people who are not affected by corrupted society, is the main reason for tourists to visit foreign countries. However, the questions is, if increasing tourism would be an advantage or a disadvantage for the potential host country, and how tourism affects the economy, society, the and the local environment. International tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy and represents profitability for the visiting country and positively impacts the economy. The question is, whether the economic advantage compensates the damage, which is inflicted to the society, environment and the culture by the tourists.

Bee Sting - My Bali Diary

Auteure: Melanie J Framp

Nombre de pages: 122

On October 12, 2002, 202 people were killed in the Bali Bombing through a terrorist attack. One of those people was my beautiful husband Shane Walsh-Till. This is my real and honest diary of the days and months that followed. It has been ten years now since the tragedy, and I have finally got the courage to believe that maybe someone wants to read my story. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. This is definitely not a book for everyone to read. It is deeply personal and deeply honest. For me it is a personal milestone, and a measure of my love for Tilly. I believe that if I can help someone else come to terms with their grief, then I have done a good thing. I hope this helps you enjoy every day, as it may just be your last.

Bali and the Tourist Industry

Auteure: David Shavit

Nombre de pages: 222

The island of Bali's sensational image was created by the tourists, artists, and scholars who visited the tiny nation between the two world wars. A Dutch colony from 1908, Bali was a source of revenue for the Dutch government, which began to develop its image as the ultimate vacation spot. The tourism industry spread the idea of Bali as a paradise in which noble, happy, spiritual Balinese--all prodigiously creative artists--lived in innocence. Sensual images of beautiful people on an enchanted isle unspoiled by modernity predominated. Bali also acquired a reputation as a homosexual paradise. A host of books and articles fed these images of Bali until it evolved into one of the most romantic stops on the tourist itinerary. The Balinese people, however, made little profit from the tourist traffic. This history of the development of tourism in Bali stretches from the Dutch occupation in 1906 to the Japanese occupation in 1942. After exhaustive research in published records and in unpublished letters, diaries, and oral histories left by many of the American and European visitors to the island as well as the Balinese residents, the author explores the reasons for Bali's popularity...

The Kecak and Cultural Tourism on Bali

Auteure: Kendra Stepputat

Nombre de pages: 390

"The Kecak is one of the most well-known dramatic dance performance practices on Bali. It is based on stories from the Old-Indian epic Ramayana, performed by an ensemble of male and female solo dancers and accompanied by a group consisting of approximately 100 men, who function both as musical accompaniment and living scenery that can be flexibly choreographed. Since its genesis in the 1930s the Kecak has been almost solely performed in a tourist context. This book gives a thorough analysis and description of the Kecak in its present form and explores how the Kecak became and stayed a tourist genre for more than 80 years. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the Kecak in its present form, including musical, choreographic, and dramatic elements. The connection between cultural tourism on Bali and Kecak performance practice is analyzed in detail, including the dependency between tourism professionals and artists and ways of promoting the kecak. Tourists' perspectives on the Kecak are addressed separately. The second part deals with the genesis and development of the Kecak from the 1930s onward"--

"If you know where to look, you can still discover and recognize what it was that intoxicating John Coast fifty years ago." —Sir David Attenborough This book is one of the great classics about Bali, now with dozens of illustrations and photographs. Dancing out of Bali is a fascinating personal account of a young Englishman who settled in a small house in Bali in the midst of the political turmoil that griped post–war Indonesia. There, he immersed himself in Balinese culture and made ambitious plans to bring a troupe of Balinese dancers and musicians to Europe and America. The book relates John Coast's daring and remarkable adventure that took him from revolution in Indonesia to the footlights of London and Broadway.

Le miroir de Bali

Auteure: Linda Bortoletto

Nombre de pages: 264

Livre-racines, "Le Miroir de Bali" est le dernier volet d’une trilogie initiatique qui a débuté avec une traversée d’Israël à pied ("Le Chemin des anges") et s’est poursuivie, à la suite d’une agression sexuelle qui laissa Linda Bortoletto presque morte, par un trek reconstructeur jusqu’en Patagonie ("Le Souffle des Andes"). Ayant repris goût à la vie, Linda décide qu’il est temps de renouer avec sa féminité et part sur les traces indonésiennes de sa mère et de sa grand-mère, entre les îles de Bali et de Java. Ce voyage intime, où se mêlent quête spirituelle et enquête sur des secrets de famille, forces invisibles et violentes émotions, la poussera à traverser Bali d’ouest en est, dans la jungle et sur des chemins perdus que même les autochtones semblent avoir oubliés, et la mènera vers la libération et le soi unifié. Exploratrice, conférencière, écrivaine, yogini, Linda Bortoletto sillonne en solitaire, depuis plus de dix ans, des contrées sauvages et spirituelles (Sibérie, Alaska, Himalaya, Israël, Andes) avec un objectif : éveiller les consciences.
