Here you’ll find one of the region’s most active volcanoes, Mt. Batur (Gunung Batur), rising 5,633 feet (1,717 meters) above sea level In the highlands of Kintamani. To best appreciate the Mount Batur experience, sign up for an early-morning trek to the summit.

Trekkers then make the 2- hour journey to the top of the volcano using headlamps and the light of the moon, an effort rewarded with amazing sunrise views of Mt. Agung and the surrounding mountains.

Dilarang memperbanyak karya tulis ini dalam bentuk dan dengan cara apa pun, termasuk fotokopi, tanpa izin tertulis dari Penerbit. Dicetak oleh Percctakan Kanisius Yogyakarta 3 SAMBUTAN Pariwisata Bali sudah mendunia. Bali, dengan pariwisatanya yang demikian eksotis, telah menjadi salah satu daerah tujuan wisata kelas dunia. Kekayaan bu-daya yang didukung dengan konsep industri modern telah menciptakan pertunjukan kemasan baru. Buku yang ada di tangan pembaca ini merupakan sebuah kajian ilmiah. Fokusnya adalah seni pertunjukan pariwisata Bali yang dikemas secara baru. Penulis mengambil perspektif budaya dalam kajian ilmiah ini dengan memper- gunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan interdisipliner. Penulis menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadi komodifikasi dalam seni pertun- jukan. Seni pertunjukan kini dijadikan sebagai komoditas yang ditawarkan ke- pada wisatawan. Hal tersebut tentu saja menimbulkan perubahan dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan masyarakat setempat, baik dalam bidang ekonomi, politik, maupun sosial budaya. Ada berbagai keistimewaan yang terkandung dalam buku ini. Salah satu di antaranya adalah ketajaman nalar intelektual penulis yang menunjukkan betapa seni budaya akan tetap terpelihara justru ketika ada keberanian untuk berkreasi dengan memberikan kemasan baru. Jika tidak, seni budaya [tradisional] tersebut secara perlahan-lahan akan tergerus oleh arus globalisasi yang sering tidak ramah pada apa yang disebut seni budaya tradisional.
