Individual task Material: Tourism Competitiveness Index 1. Name the 3 TTCI in Indonesia that have the lowest and highest index, and explain the conditions and reasons why the TTCI index results in Indonesia are like that! Answer : TTCI has the highest index a) Price competitive: price competition. In Indonesia, price competitiveness has the highest index value because in Indonesia the cost of living is relatively cheap, for example with one dollar a foreign tourist can buy food, so there are many cases where foreign tourists live in Indonesia illegally, especially Bali. With the cheap cost of living, plus the views and openness of Indonesian society towards foreigners, it provides great opportunities for foreigners to live and work in Indonesia. Prioritization of T&T: tourism priority. Indonesia is considered good at prioritizing tourism development in Indonesia. Where we can see policies such as the visa-free policy which makes it easier to enter Indonesian territory, as well as the government's concern for the development of 10 new Balis, large-scale promotions about Wonderful Indonesia which costs quite a lot of money, etc. Until finally during the reign of Arif Yahya, the Ministry of Tourism was named The Best Ministry of Tourism in Asia Pacific by the Travel Trade Gazette (TTG). Human resources & Labor market: human resources and labor. Indonesia is considered quite good at managing its human resources. As we can see in Bali, the local community is involved in managing tourism in Bali so that the economic life of the local community continues to improve. b) TTCI has the lowest index Environmental sustainability: environmental sustainability. Indonesia is considered very bad in terms of sustainable environment because many tourist destinations in Indonesia are found to have damaged nature, lots of rubbish strewn about, for example Bunaken National Park which used to be very well known for the beauty of its coral reefs, now many of its coral reefs are damaged, rubbish fills the sea, etc. 2. Tourist service infrastructure: tourism industry infrastructure and services. Indonesia is still considered poor in terms of services and infrastructure. We can see this by the fact that there are still many tourist destinations that do not have adequate facilities, for example toilet facilities. We can also see poor service to visitors, we can see hotel staff shouting at guests, or harassment by certain groups from the local community against tourists, especially foreign tourists. 3. Ground and port infrastructure: land and port infrastructure. Indonesia is considered to still lack land transportation facilities and ports. For ports, Indonesia still lacks facilities to welcome foreign tourists via cruise ships. Land transportation is also still inadequate to transport tourists.
