      Description


      In English

      Bali tourism is facing an unimaginable ordeal. Who would have thought that the glittering discotheques and luxurious facilities on the corner of Ubud and Kuta roads have now turned into nothingness. Yes, it feels like it's starting to get better now, but is there a powerful and strong figure who dares to guarantee the recovery of this situation in the near future? I don't know, similar expectations have been dashed several times and left scars. However, the meaning of the current condition does not have to be only about despair, instead it is a good moment for us to weigh each other together. What really happened? To what extent can we depend on the economy for tourism? And what is now more viral, who will benefit from Bali tourism? The last question becomes interesting, not because we want to pit ourselves between foreign investors and local people, but rather it becomes a trigger question for us to be quiet for a moment, and absorb it as a medium for self-introspection. Talking about profit, it may be necessary to interpret it from several points of view. It is undeniable, the swift flow of Bali tourism at that time, had a positive impact on the economy in Bali. Job opportunities are wide open for those who pursue tourism, foreign languages, culinary, and so on. It was a sunny day then. The tourism sector was once a promising field of work to fulfill basic needs, buy cars, and pay off mortgages. But, is it enough to be a tourist worker? True, this is too subjective and complex. "If, for example, I already have a lot of assets, why become an employee", maybe most of us think that way. Magical capitalism seems to make us submissive and lulled by the situation. We don't have to be against it, but at least it needs to be realized, it needs to be learned. Hopefully Bali's economy will recover soon. When that happens, make sure we are introspective. There is nothing wrong with being a worker or a private employee. Let's work sincerely, while learning to "stand on our own feet".

      Pariwisata Bali sedang menghadapi cobaan yang tidak pernah terbayangkan sebelumnya. Siapa yang pernah mengira bahwa gemerlap diskotik dan mewahnya fasilitas di sudut jalan Ubud dan Kuta, kini berubah menjadi hampa. Ya, rasanya sekarang mulai berangsur membaik, tapi adakah sosok sakti dan tangguh yang berani menjamin pulihnya situasi ini dalam waktu dekat? Entahlah, ekspektasi serupa sudah beberapa kali pupus dan menyisakan luka. Tetapi, pemaknaan kondisi saat ini tidak harus melulu tentang keputusasaan, alih-alih menjadi momen yang baik untuk kita bersama saling menimbang. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi? Sejauh mana kita bisa menggantungkan ekonomi pada pariwisata? Dan yang kini lebih viral, siapa yang diuntungkan dari pariwisata Bali? Pertanyaan terakhir menjadi menarik, bukan karena ingin mengadu domba antara siapa yang lebih diuntungkan antara pemodal asing dan masyarakat lokal, namun lebih tepat menjadi pertanyaan pemantik bagi kita untuk hening sejenak, dan meresapinya sebagai media instrospeksi diri. Berbicara soal keuntungan, mungkin perlu untuk memaknainya dari beberapa sudut pandang. Tidak bisa dipungkiri, arus deras pariwisata Bali kala itu, telah memberi dampak positif terhadap perekonomian di Bali. Lapangan pekerjaan terbuka lebar bagi mereka yang menekuni bidang wisata, bahasa asing, kuliner, dan sebagainya. Sungguh hari yang cerah, kala itu. Sektor wisata pernah menjadi ranah kerja yang menjanjikan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pokok, membeli mobil, hingga mengangsur KPR. Tapi, apakah sudah cukup menjadi seorang pekerja wisata? Benar, ini terlalu subjektif dan kompleks. “Kalau misalnya saya sudah punya bayak harta, untuk apa menjadi pegawai”, mungking kebanyakan begitu di benak kita. Kapitalisme nan sakti seolah-olah membuat kita tunduk dan terbuai akan keadaan. Tidak harus bagi kita untuk menentangnya, namun setidaknya perlu disadari, perlu dipelajari. Semoga perekonomian Bali lekas pulih. Saat itu terjadi, pastikan kita sudah mawas diri. Tidak ada salahnya menjadi seorang pekerja atau pegawai swasta. Mari kita bekerja setulus hati, sembari belajar untuk “berpijak di atas kaki sendiri”.
