Abstract

Badung Regency Government forced to postpone several projects in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. Uluwatu temple, a gem in Bali's southern part, became one of many sites that need to be maintained. Above all, a viral photo about the Uluwatu cliff in 2019 made the public's attention focused on the iconic tourism spot. The circulated image depicted a massive crack on the rocky height at the side of the Uluwatu temple. The Manager, I Wayan Wijana, admitted that there is a crack on cliffs at Uluwatu Temple. Furthermore, it has been there for decades. According to observers, in 1992, there was an insignificant decrease of about one millimeter. Although Uluwatu cliff's crack has been there for decades, there was no significant government action. Local authorities decided to reduce the number of prayer visits during ceremonies and center tourism activities in the outer temple area to prevent any accidents. Besides, the Badung regency government had conducted few patches on the cliffside, with a regular annual inspection. Finally, In 2019, the Government of Badung invited potential quotation to fortify the Temple's base. Nevertheless, there was no final announcement regarding the quotation winner. In the second quarter of 2020, Badung Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency announced a temporary suspension on several infrastructure projects due to budget allocation for COVID-19 handling. The announcement confirmed that the Uluwatu fortification project would not be conducted in the year.

The number of visits had skyrocketed, starting from 20 July to 22 August 2020. As one of Bali's leading preferable tourist destinations, Tanah lot offers majestic landscapes and historical value that should not be missed. Established in the 16th century, Tanah Lot is a temple for lord of the sea, after a priest named Dang Hyang nirartha received revelation on a vast reef at the beraban village coast. Later, Tanah lot is considered a holy site and a favorite landmark for tourism. COVID-19 outbreak forced the local Government to close most public places on the island. On 20 July 2020, Tabanan regent decided to reopen five out of many tourism objects in its area, including the coastal landmark. Since reopening, its number of visits spiked rapidly, over twenty thousand visits in less than a month.

The management explained that the hawkers believed tourist visits were relatively low compared to before the pandemic. They argued the visitor purchasing power might also go down. The other reasons were that some stall owners terminated their contracts, and some preferred to sell from their homes.

Abstract

Buleleng regent, Putu Agus Suradnyana confirmed Tamblingan will be promoted as a spiritual tourism object. the plan was a request from pengrajeg catur desa or four villages leader on Tamblingan Lake vicinity. The Lake status as a sacred site, has been preserved since the 10th century. The ancient Tamblingan communities erected many holy shrines nearby. They are Dalem Tamblingan temple, Endek temple, Ulun Danu temple, Sang Hyang Kangin temple, and Sang Hyang Kawuh temple. Then Gubug Temple, Tirta Mengening Temple, Naga Loka Temple, Pengukiran Temple, Pengukusan, Batulepang Temple, Embang temple and Tukang Timbang temple. Despite its status as holy site, Tamblingan Lake acts as sanctuary to various types of vegetation and wild animals. The regental government realized the byproduct possibilities of promoting new tourism object is land conversion. Tourist area status often invites high-scale business investors to establish supporting facilities around the site, which can adversely affect the lake habitat's sustainability. to minimise further exploitation, Agus Suradnyana encourages indigenous villages to compose pararem (customary rules) in the villages around Lake Buyan and Tamblingan. The regulation is expected to prevent land conversion in the villages around Buyan-Tamblingan lakes, as well as to maintain groundwater availability in the long run.

Bali's coral reef restoration has been the topmost priority by the Indonesian Government and marine activists to save marine habitat in the long run. The action is necessary to halt severe damage that occurs in aquatic habitat over the years. The most apparent threat that has been faced is coral bleaching. Bali's water's tourism activities have sharply dipped between early to mid-2020, yet it did not stop the coral bleaching phenomenon. The phenomenon is occurring due to water temperature rise. The Government's decision to restrict public activity made the conservation task impossible to be done. Albeit challenges in coral conservation became a daunting task in 2020, pleasant news also came from the central Government. Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed the central Government had compiled a National Economic Recovery (PEN) program for Indonesia Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) Bali. The program is coral reef restoration activities centered in Nusa Dua and several other areas such as Sanur, Serangan, Pandawa Beach, and Buleleng. The coral reef garden will be built using the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries National Economic Recovery fund worth IDR 111.2 billion. The fund will be used to build a 50 hectares coral plantation. Meanwhile, the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster, expressed his appreciation toward the program. Koster believed the program would significantly impact the community, especially in supporting economic recovery since the national economic recovery activities will involve more than 11,000 workers.

However, covid-19 pandemic threatened to cancel the Sesetan Heritage Omed-omedan Festival in 2020. after being discussed by the Sesetan village leaders, it was decided that the Omed-omedan would be held without any accompanying festival such as an entertainment stage, cultural parade, flea market or even grand opening ceremony to control the crowd.
