Development Of Facilities And Infrastructure Tourist Attraction

DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE TOURIST ATTRACTION UNDERSTANDING TOURISM According to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 2009 concerning tourism, it is stated that tourism is a variety of tourist activities and is supported by various facilities and services provided by the community, entrepreneurs, government and regional governments. Tourism is the overall activity of the government, business world and society to regulate, manage and serve the needs of tourists. (Karyono, 1997:15). Tourism is a series of activities carried out by humans both individually and in groups within the territory of another country. These activities use facilities, services and other supporting factors provided by the government and/or the community, in order to realize tourists' wishes. TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE Tourist infrastructure is natural resources and man-made resources that are absolutely needed by tourists traveling to tourist destinations, such as roads, electricity, water, telecommunications, terminals, bridges and so on. To prepare tourist objects to be visited by tourists in tourist destination areas, tourist infrastructure needs to be built by adjusting the location and conditions of the tourist attraction in question (Suwantoro, 1997: 21). Development of tourist infrastructure that takes into account conditions and location will increase the accessibility of a tourist attraction which in turn will increase the attractiveness of the tourist attraction itself. Apart from the various needs mentioned above, other tourist needs also need to be provided in tourist destination areas such as banks, pharmacies, hospitals, gas stations, shopping centers and so on. In carrying out the development of tourism infrastructure, there is careful coordination between relevant agencies and tourism installations at various levels. Support Relevant agencies in building tourism infrastructure are very necessary for the development of tourism in the region. Coordination at the planning level followed by coordination at the level of implementation is the main capital for successful tourism development. In the development of tourism infrastructure, the government is more dominant because the government can take multiple benefits from this development, such as increasing the flow of information, economic traffic flow, flow of human mobility between regions and so on, which of course can increase business and work opportunities. What is meant by infrastructure is all the facilities that enable the economic process, in this case the tourism sector to run smoothly in such a way that it makes it easier for people to meet their needs. So its function is to complete tourism facilities so that they can provide services as they should. Tourism infrastructure is all the main or basic facilities that enable tourism facilities to survive and develop in order to provide services to tourists. Tourist infrastructure is natural resources and human resources that are absolutely needed by tourists during their journey to a tourist destination, such as roads, electricity, water, telecommunications, terminals, bridges, and so on. Suwantoro (2004:21) It can be said that special infrastructure for tourism does not exist. Development of tourist infrastructure that takes into account conditions and location will increase the attractiveness of the tourist attraction itself. Apart from the various needs mentioned above, other tourist needs also need to be provided in tourist destinations, such as banks, pharmacies. TOURISM FACILITIES Tourist facilities are the completeness of a tourist destination area that is needed to serve the needs of tourists in enjoying their tourist trip. Development of tourist facilities in tourist destination areas and certain tourist attractions must be adapted to tourists' needs both quantitatively and qualitatively. Moreover, market tastes can also determine the demands of the facility in question. Various tourist facilities that must be provided in tourist destination areas are hotels, travel agencies, means of transportation, restaurants and eateries as well as other supporting facilities. Not all tourist attractions require the same or complete facilities. Procurement of tourist facilities must be adjusted to the needs of tourists. Tourist facilities quantitatively indicate the number of tourist facilities that must be provided, and quantitatively indicate the quality of services provided and which is reflected in the satisfaction of tourists who receive the service. In relation to the type and quality of tourist facility services in tourist destination areas, a standard tourism standard has been prepared, both nationally and internationally, so that providers of tourist facilities just have to choose or determine the type and quality they will provide (Suwantoro, 1997: 23).
