THE OPENING OF COMODO AIR PORT AND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT DISPUTE IN LABUAN BAJO

THE OPENING OF COMODO AIR PORT AND  TOURISM DEVELOPMENT DISPUTE IN LABUAN BAJO

The opening of Comodo Air port and tourism development dispute in Labuan bajo triggers a signal of how the place will be the next main target of travel destination. It is not mistaken to say that Labuan Bajo will be as popular as BALI.





The coming of president on Sunday, 27th,12,2015 to open officially the air portt will make comodo airport as the biggest in NTT province. Jokowi himself instructed Transportaion minister, Jonan to add more the airlines to labuan bajo as the Wonder Big  Lizzard Comodo Dragon started to be known widely.


The coming of Mr president is the momentum of local government to revamp the tourism managemnet that has been privatized by certain people likewise the revamping of supporting sectors of tourism itself. It is the best timing to unravel the big issues about privatization and violation of tourism management that have not been blown out widely. The rescue movement of local citizen in the form: # SAVE PEDE FOR NATAS BATE LABAR  neeeds to be heard by Mr president.

There are juxtaposed issues of privatization of islands, the habitus of Comodo like padar Island, the issue of establishing hotel in Pantai Pede beach which is considered to violate regulations must  to be known by the president.

THE URGENCY  OF TOURISM MANAGEMENT

In managing tourism sector in Labuan Bajo, government has made a blunder catapulting the management to private corporation. Just take an example of Padar Island, one of habitus of comodo that has been privately managed by Komodo Wildlife ecotourism ltd(KWO) through SK MENHUT/796/MENHUT-II/2014 on 29th, September 2014. The company is signaled to be owned by a national politician and businessman. There are still many issues of privatization that has to be known by the president as the leader of the country.
The management of tourism to be reowned by the government is considered urgent substantially. A side from law perception, taking into consideration of ordinary principle of tourism management of tourism which is meant for the people welfare especially local citizen, so the government in this case local government is in uregency to reclaim the management. Staying apart from law perspective, if the management is owned by private figures, the question then: is the profit meant for people or for personals?

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF COMODO AIRPORT OPENING AND HOPES IN JOKOWI'S PRESENCE

The opening of Comodo Air port and tourism development dispute in Labuan bajo is the right timing.First and foremost, Mr president has given the signal of potentiality of Comodo Tourism which can gain big reveneu. This fact certainly, in slung language is the WETLAND for the business. This explains prior issues of privatizations Pulau padar island for instance. There are still juxtaposed issues of island privatizations of islands by foreigners. They even withold legal certification? Who released the certification lays big questions pertaining to the agrarian law which forbids the privatization of land by foreigners.


The opening of Comodo airport by Mr president on the other hand implies hope about management of one gate tourist arrival. 
Looking the fact and issues that are run in labuan bajo. Some visitors to the main tourism destination like comodo dragon sanctuary, Pulau Bidadari Island often directly visiting the place using private cruise ships. In term of income sector, this cause the loss to the income of tourism. These tourists stay on their cruise ship thus it's a loss for income potential for the accomodation or even taxes both local and national taxes revenue.

The presence of Jokowi is important. Personally for the author, to find the resolution for the big issues in Labuan Bajo, local netizen lose their trust on local government. It's much caused by less initiation of local government to hear the aspiration of local people or incapacity of the government itself to erase seemingly conspirative issues of privatization.

Jokowi is the icon of change of the country. Acceptably or not, personally for the author the BIG HOPE OF PEOPLE OF LABUAN BAJO lays on Jokowi's shoulder. Recent breakthroughs of the president of himself toward antoher issues of the country is sufficient to determine that the heard voices of labuan bajo nnetizen will be taken into consideration by Mr president. Mr president must see the oppurtunity that will be gained from the popularity of Labuan Bajo as tourism destination and spesifically for the Comodo Dragon. Jokowi has given signal about the oppurtunity of Labuan Bajo thath will bring big revenue for tourism in East Indonesia. The knowledge of mr president about the issues of violation in tourism management hoepfully might bring enlighment for the reformation of tourism management likewise to withdraw the management of tourism from private coorporation.
The opening of Comodo Air port and tourism development dispute in Labuan bajo implies the hope of people for the breakthrough of Jokowi.
