COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM IN BANGKALAN DISTRICT AS THE GATEWAY OF MADURA
Abstract
Bangkalan District is the gateway to Madura Island from Surabaya. After the construction of the Suramadu bridge, access to Madura is relatively easier. However, high accessibility is not in line with the rapid progress of Bangkalan District. In other words, Suramadu bridge construction is unable to increase tourist visits to Bangkalan District significantly. This research attempted to formulate a community-based tourism development model in Bangkalan District, with the expectation that the community can be more prosperous through the development of the tourism sector. By using qualitative research method through intense observation and interview with some key informants, eventually obtained the following results: Bangkalan District community capacity is relatively low, this is proven from community education level which is dominated by primary school graduates. Besides, conceptual, communication, and negotiation ability are still low as well. Only the motor skills underlying congenital skills are considered sufficient enough as a provision for tourism sector development. Community capacity development in a short-term period can be carried out through routine and sustainable training. In terms of a long-term period, it needs more formal tourism education to prepare ready-to-use personnel in the tourism sector. The role of stakeholders, such as government, private, and society also has not run optimally. There has been no tourism development initiated by the public and private sector actors engaged in funding on a more formal scale, with the government as facilitator. The suggested community-based tourism development model in the tourism industry cluster, with more precise stakeholders roles, and local governments can have a role as cluster managers.
