Lothar A. Kreck in his book International Tourism at (Yoeti, 1996:186) divides infrastructure into two important parts, they are:

a. Economic Infrastructure, that can divided into:

1. Transportation is transportation that can bring tourists from countries where

tourist usually lives in a place or country which is the destination tour.

DISCUSSION

3.1 Brief Description about Ciwidey Bandung

Ciwidey Tourism Area, South Bandung Regency is one of the mainstay tourist areas that are expect to be bring in large numbers of tourists. Have a climate cool and geologically has the right potential of natural resources for tourism activities, especially tourist activities related to nature. Very strategic in terms of communication, the economy, and also security. In the tourism sector, Ciwidey Regency tourism area Bandung has enough potential to be developed; in part, the potential is in the form of natural and agro tourism. Tourism potential and location the development is as follows:

a. Natural Tourism Areas, including: Patuha Mountain/White Crater, Ranca Upas,

Cimanggu, Walini, Situ Patengan, Cibuni Crater, Cisabuk Waterfall (Rancabali District).

b. Cultural Tourism Regions, including:Padang Mountain (Ciwidey District), Craft Center

(Pasirjambu District).

c. Agro Tourist Area, including Strawberry Agro Tourism, Tea Agro Tourism, Vegetable

Agro Tourism, Herbal Agro Tourism.

Nusantara tourists can be providing maximum benefits to local community. The answer is related to economic activity from tourism sector in the Ciwidey tourist area of Bandung

Regency. Then more localize the multiplier effect of an economic activity, one way the exit is to empower local entrepreneurs as actors. The local economies are expected to be able to reap some of the droplets from the output economy produced by entrepreneurs. Outside the region as economic actors the long terms tough is the core strengths of economy of a region. The category

13 13

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA

of tourist expenditure, that refers at the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in the collection of

Tourism Statistics.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA

3.2 Socio-Economic Condition

The effect multiplier that occurs in the tourism sector will backfire for the local

community if only measured by the number of arrivals tourism. Tourists come to the Ciwidey

tourist area of the Regency Bandung only visits attractions and enjoys the sight beautiful, while

they sleep and eat in Bandung. They are more spending money in the city of Bandung, and

local communities in the Region Ciwidey Tourism will not get any effect. Public purchasing

power local is still crawling, index human development cannot rice significantly.

The condition of tourism should not only see from tourism arrival and growth of

investment, but must be reviewed further to the effect multiplier both directly and indirectly to

distribution of income to local communities, so that local people who are engaged in the world

of tourism can increase their purchasing power. Tourism is one of the most important sectors in

the Regency Bandung, which contributes quite a large amount of PDRB (Product Domestic

Regional Bruto) along with the trade sector (an average of 15% for more or less 5 years). The

most for the tourism sector is its effect multiplier, which can improve other sectors such as

agriculture, trade, processing industry, and other services.

The tourism industry cannot regardless of other sectors, such as agriculture,

communication, transportation. If tourism sector revenues increase, others will also increase

(multiplier effect). Tourism is the most sectors absorb a lot of labor, if seen from effects in

various sectors that will emerge with the development of tourism, in looking at the socio-

economic impact of tourism. Bandung Raya’s area has enormous potential and shows

increasing growth in line with the pace of growth culinary tourism itself. The conditions have

not obtained best utilized by local communities, to strengthen development of horticulture sub-

sector Ciwidey Tourism District Bandung.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA

Especially for Ciwidey Tourism Area, sectors can be identified informal economy in which there are various business units such as ones can see in the following graph:

No Type of Business Business Character

1 Transportation Help comfort travel activities to attractions

2 Restaurants Helping tourists to get food and drinks from

local communities

3 Souvenir Provide souvenirs typical of Bandung and

Ciwidey

4 Grocery Store Providing daily needs for tourists

Government independence and community independence are manifestations from developing economic capabilities to creating prosperity and improve material life fairly and evenly which originates on community empowerment. Tourism development will run by itself if the community is given the right to manage resources nature that they have and use it for tourism development in the region.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA

3.3 Social Cultural Circumstance

The development of an area influences the role of the community in the surrounding area, especially the local population both directly and indirectly. Besides that, the fact of capital will be very decisive in the development of tourism, so that many businesses carried out by the community only have small-scale items such as souvenir shops and stalls. Without realizing it, the community will experience a socio-economic shift by tourism activities. Tourism is social phenomenon, which concerns humans, society, cultural organization groups and so on. The socio-cultural aspects of the development experts, there is a discourse that development is the actually for humans as a learning process. Within this path, the surrounding community is the center and driving force for developing their socio-cultural conditions.

3.4 Potential Attraction in Kawah Putih Ciwidey Bandung

Nature Tourism contributes to the expenditure of domestic tourists, which is quite large

on average Rp. 56.896(25.98%) which is expenditure the second largest domestic tourist in the

entertainment and recreation category. This amount of expenditure shows that Bandung Regency

tourism still has a special attraction for domestic tourists. The beauty of Ciwidey Tourism Area

Bandung Regency in the city of Bandung comfortable mountainous area, cool air, complete with

panoramas beautiful nature makes this area an escape from activities and daily routine of the

community.

Tourism in Ciwidey Region, Bandung Regency has potential large to develop into

ecotourism tourism and agro tourism both from the supply and demand side. Appropriate land

use with the conditions it is suitable for agricultural land. Ciwidey Tourism area is a plateau has

very cool air, while the tourist area of Rancabali has a very interesting tourist attraction, these

two potentials must handle in an integrated manner.

Ciwidey tourist area is one form tourism development in Bandung Regency, which

includes Ciwidey, Jambu Sand and Rancabali. The tree places are interdependent each other,

sand Jambu and Ciwidey are central to economic development, trade and marketing in the region

and access to objects tour in Rancabali. Where are some attractions in the Perhutani region, and

in managing Perhutani. However, tourism potential development will notbe achieved without

partnership serious among various key stakeholders of tourism.

3.5 Accomodation

Accommodation is one factor that makes the visitors interested to do a tourist visit. The availability of accommodation in tourist sites is very helpful to visitors when visitors want to stay in allocation that they visit. Since 1987, PT. Perhutani (Persero) unit III West Java and

Banten, developing this white crater area into a tourist attraction. This white crater tourist attraction is located on Soreang, Ciwidey Street, Bandung districts, West Java Province and is at kilometer 25. The address is the entrance gate or the tourist attraction, while for the Ciwidey white crater located you have to travel again about 5 km.

Facilities for visitors around the white crater is quite adequate with parking areas, transportation to the white crater, information center, mosque, and food stalls as well as paved road access can facilitate the tourists. To get there, visitors from Jakarta can pass the toll

Cipularang continue to exit toll Kopo, and then to Soreang South of Ciwidey city. About 20-30 minutes from Ciwidey city, visible sign entrance to the entrances of the white crater attraction on the left side of the road. To go to the white crater from the entrance gate of the tourist attraction areas are advised to use the vehicle, do not walk because the road is somewhat uphill and quite far, which is about 5.6km or about 10-15 minutes by vehicle. Private vehicles can directly access the vast parking lot available not far from the crater. While visitors with large entourages who use buses, or public transport, can use a special vehicle in the parking area near the entrance gate, which is usually call ontang-anting to reach the white crater.

In the area surrounding the white crater, there are also some hotels or inns for tourists who want to spend the night in the region. One of which is Patuha Resort Kawah Putih. An inn with a simple concept of village made of huts. The services and services of the hotel services of natural attractions in this Ciwidey are very classy and include three star hotel facilities. Although

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA

the shape of the building is made of woven bamboos in the form of simple booths such as saung or hut, precisely the value of the exclusivity of this in.

Transportation to the white crater tour by using public transportation such as bus can make your choice. Many inter-city bus or inter-provincial bus that travel route to the city of

Bandung whichever you come from, the first trip you have to travel is to the terminal Leuwi

Panjang Bandung. Then after you arrive at the terminal Leuwi long can be continued to go to

Kawah Putih location by using public transportation with route as follows : from bus stop Leuwi

Panjang ride Mini bus (L300) to Bandung-Ciwidey department, and you will stop at Ciwidey terminal. From Ciwidey take public transport with Ciwidey-Situ Patenggang, the flashy features of bus are yellow, and you can request to get off at the gate of Kawah putih. From the gate of the

White crater you can use the transportation that has been provide by the manager of the White crater Tourism object is the shuttle car.

Ciwidey White crater tour ticket price is Rp.15.000,- per person, for domestic or local tourists. As for foreign tourists will be charged Rp.30.000,-. From the gate of kawah putih to the top located is about 5 km, with the way up to climb up, of course impossible if it must be reached by foot. To be able to reach the location has also provided a means of transportation called

Ontang-anting at the rate of Rp.10.000,- per person to go home as one means of supporting the

Ciwidey White Crater, this car will be ready to deliver the visitors from the gate to the top of the crater. The name of ontang-anting is taking from the Sundanese language, which means pacing.

There are two parking areas for travelers visiting by private vehicle; the two parking areas below are located near the entrance gate and the top parking area near the white crater location. Low parking rate is: two-wheel to motorcycles tariff of Rp.5.000,- for wheel to car tariff is Rp.6.000,- . If the vehicles tourists parking below to get to the crater can be continue by,

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA

using ontang-anting transportation services with tariff like those already explain above. Top parking rates: vehicle parking costs four wheels to car in the parking area above is Rp.150.000.

The cost in the parking area above is charge an expensive tariff, but of course, tourists no longer need to pay for the ride ontang-anting. For example: if a travel vehicle like a tourist bus, you use a passenger 15 people then 150.000 divided by 15 people the results will be equal to 10.000, this price will be the same as the cost that must be expended by tourist if using service of earring.

The difference is only a little that lies in the use of fuel oil.

The price of the entrance ticket of white crater above we get from a reliable source, because it comes directly from one of the managers of the attraction. That the tariff could change at any time without notices as during the holidays. You can also all travel to mount Tangkuban perahu, which also became one of the popular tourist attractions in Bandung. To make your trip to the white crater more comfortable, the following tips, is: cold air temperature does not mean you are safe from the sun, use sunblock before the white crater. If you are not strong with the smell of sulfur, bring a mask. If you do not have a mask, you can buy it at the location. Do not be too long in the white crater because it a make you are birthing disturbed, you can rise briefly to the top and then back to the white crater if you want to see it.

3.6 Accessibility

Tourism activities are largely dependent on transportation and communication due to distance and time factors that greatly affect travel. The most important element in accessibility is transportation, meaning the frequency of the user, the speed it has can cause the distance as if to be close. Accessibility is a way to provide a means of public transportation for tourists who affect the cost, time and distance. In tourism, products are mainly objects and attractions.

Distance and availability of transportation facilities and infrastructure to the tourist area is the most important, the type, volume, cost and frequency of transportation to the place and from the tourist area will affect the number of tourist arrivals. The convenience of travel and transportation access to the tourist area should further improved to facilitate to the tourist attractions.
