  • Balinese Dances As a Means of Tourist Attraction
    BALINESE DANCES AS A MEANS OF TOURIST ATTRACTION : AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE By : Lie Liana Dosen Tetap Fakultas Teknologi Informasi Universitas Stikubank Semarang ABSTRACT Makalah ini menguraikan secara ringkas Tari Bali yang ditinjau dari perspekif ekonomi dengan memanfaatkan Bali yang terkenal sebagai salah satu daerah tujuan wisata di Indonesia. Keterkenalan Bali merupakan keuntungan tersendiri bagi pelaku bisnis khususnya bisnis pariwisata. Kedatangan wisatawan asing dengan membawa dolar telah meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat Bali, yang berarti pula devisa bagi Indonesia. Bali terkenal karena kekayaannya dalam bidang kesenian, khususnya seni tari. Tari Bali lebih disukai karena lebih glamor, ekspresif dan dinamis. Oleh karena itu seni tari yang telah ada harus dilestarikan dan dikembangkan agar tidak punah, terutama dari perspektif ekonomi. Tari Bali terbukti memiliki nilai ekonomi yang tinggi terutama karena bisa ‘go international’ dan tentunya dapat meningkatkan pemasukan devisa negara melalui sektor pariwisata. Kata Kunci: Tari, ekonomi, pariwisata, A. INTRODUCTION It is commonly known that Bali is the largest foreign and domestic tourist destination in Indonesia and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including dances, sculptures, paintings, leather works, traditional music and metalworking. Meanwhile, in terms of history, Bali has been inhabited since early prehistoric times firstly by descendants of a prehistoric race who migrated through Asia mainland to the Indonesian archipelago, thought to have first settled in Bali around 3000 BC. Stone tools dating from this time have been found near the village of Cekik in the island's west. Most importantly, Balinese culture was strongly influenced by Indian, and particularly Sanskrit, culture, in a process beginning around the 1st century AD. The name Balidwipa has been discovered from various inscriptions.

  • Applying E-Commerce in the Marketing Information System As a Tool to Increase Ludruk Art Income Case Study at Irama Budaya Group, Surabaya
    Applying E-Commerce in the Marketing Information System as a Tool to Increase Ludruk Art Income Case Study at Irama Budaya Group, Surabaya Debby Ratna Daniel, Ivana Laksmono, Eko Warsiyanto Nugrahadi Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Airlanggay, Surabaya, Indonesia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Budgeting, Comparability, E-Commerce, Ethnography, Income, Marketing Information System, Regional Minimum Wage Standard (UMR), Timing. Abstract: Ludruk, which comes from East Java province, is one of the non-agrarian art forms in Indonesia that still exists. Irama budaya is known as a famous Ludruk group that is still actively performing several live shows and has an official website, which can be easily accessed by all people. The current income of this group is obtained from the number of shows produced. Based on this, the amount of income received between March 2016 and May 2016 had increased by 40.63%. This escalation rate was not comparable with the regional minimum wage standard (UMR) of Surabaya city. This research used a qualitative approach with ethnography method to analyze the current marketing information system.d As the result, there were some weaknesses in this system due to the low amount of marketing media and the lack of product mix. Therefore, Irama Budaya need to design an e-commerce facility in the marketing information system to increase its amount of income, such as by giving extracurricular activities in national junior high school in order to expand the range of audiences and players, producing education materials about Ludruk through YouTube programs, etc.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan eksploratif. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ritual yang dilakukan pemain barong diantaranya adalah lek-lekan di malam hari sebelum pementasan dan disertai dengan pengajian, menggunakan sesaji semacam jajan pasar, pisang, bunga dan telor. Masyarakat modern memaknai sesaji tersebut sebagai seni dalam budaya, bukan aliran kepercayaan yang dipercayai sebagai pedoman kepercayaan kehidupannya. Ritual tidak menyebabkan pengaruh negatif pada pemain barong tetapi justru meningkatkan ketaqwaan terhadap Tuhan Yang Maha Esa. Kesenian barong Singo Kencono dibentuk guna nguri-uri budaya meskipun sudah banyak perubahan sesuai dengan perkembangan jaman tetapi tetap tidak menghilangkan budaya asli, selain itu kesenian barong Singo Kencono ini dibentuk dan dimainkan untuk menghibur masyarakat.
