Yudha Martin Mahardika2 M. Rudi Irwansyah3 1,2 Hotel Operation Department, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Singaraja Indonesia 3 Department of Economic Education, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Singaraja Indonesia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bali is known to have an established tourism infrastructure. The development of health and wellness tourism arises as a consequence of the development of infrastructure, tourist demand, and well-organized hospitality industry and business environment. Yet, the function of health and wellness tourism management must be re-evaluated. The development of health and wellness tourism in Bali need to involve not only the government but Bali tourism stakeholders to face global competition. This qualitative study begins with data collection through observations, interviews, literature study, and documentations. The results showed ten appropriate strategies to develop health and wellness tourism in Bali, namely (1) knowing the position of Bali's health and wellness tourism in the global market, (2) identifying the position of Bali's health and wellness tourism in the regional market, (3) enhancing the products and services offered, (4) identifying target markets, (5) overcoming potential barriers, (6) knowing the movements of competitors, (7) differentiating from competitors, (8) adjusting company goals with opportunity strategies, (9) taking partnership opportunities, and (10) implementing promotional strategies.

Towards sustainable tourism in Bali 1 Towards sustainable tourism in Bali A Western paradigm in the face of Balinese cultural uniqueness Sylvine Pickel-Chevalier and Budarma Ketut Introduction 1 As with many tourist destinations, Bali has accessed modernity and globalization through tourism (MIT, 2011; Liu, 2003). This is not a new phenomenon since tourism in Bali has been developing for almost a century, since the first European tourists arrived in the 1920s. At the outset of the process, artists and scientists (Walter Spies, Colin McPhee, Covarrubias, etc.) contributed to creating and diffusing the idea of Bali as a “paradise” in the Western world (Vickers, 2012). This first international tourism influx highlighted Bali’s cultural and natural uniqueness, which has become a national interest since 1950 in the context of independence (Brown, 2011).

  • Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies
    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.
