The consortium consisted of Unpad, Indonesia University of\nEducation, Trisakti School of Tourism, the Leiden Ethnoscience and Development\nProgram of Leiden University from the Netherlands, CIHEAM and ASTEK from\nGreece, the Martha Tilaar Foundation, and the Indonesian Heritage Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EU Project INTEM consortium was officially opened at a\nkick-off meeting held in Bandung on Monday (1\/4). During the meeting, Unpad was\nrepresented by Unpad Rector Prof. Tri Hanggono Achmad, Dean of the Faculty of\nEconomics and Business Yudi Azis, PhD, and a number of Unpad lecturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the work plans that will be carried out is to develop\na master\u2019s program in the field of Ecotourism with an integrated approach. This\nprogram is planned to launch in the next three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first year, the consortium will focus on preparing a\nmenu from the new master\u2019s program. Furthermore, in the second year there will\nbe a Training of Trainer (ToT) for 15 prospective tutors from Unpad, UPI, and\nStiepar Trisakti. This training will be held in the Netherlands and Greece for\n3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the third year, the master\u2019s program will begin to accept\nnew students. This program is implemented in 3 consortium member universities.\nIn Unpad, this program will be included as a specialization of the Master in\nManagement program of the faculty of Economics and Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the release received by the Unpad Public Communication\nOffice, the Rector said that the collaboration with the work sample in West\nJava was the right thing, given that West Java is an area that plays an\nimportant role in development in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am happy that the word \u2018eco\u2019 has been embedded into this\nconcept. Because this indicates that it not only supports tourism but also the\npreservation of the environment and nature for the future. We hope that this\nprogram will have a positive impact on the wider community, West Java,\nIndonesia and even the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In line with the Rector, Dr. Yudi also conveyed that this\ncollaboration shows the amount of attention that the academic world has towards\nthe development of the tourism sector in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the development of the tourism sector does not\nfocus solely on economic and business aspects. Tourism must be supported to be\nable to provide benefits to local communities and the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith this integration, it is expected that tourism\ndevelopment will not only focus on economic and business aspects, but also\ncommunity development and sustainability. So, this concept can provide significant\npositive benefits for the community and the environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting was directly attended by Professor of Leiden\nUniversity, Prof. L.J. Slikkerveer. Prof. Slikkerveer explained that there are\na number of crucial issues that must be understood in the Indonesian tourism\nsector. These issues include skilled human resources and the utilization of\nnature and its resources which have not yet focused on sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Indonesian government is currently focusing on\necotourism strategies which are expected to be able to maintain the\npreservation of nature, which also enhances the welfare of rural communities.\nHowever, the involvement of the local community is still unsuccessful in this.\nTherefore, there is INTEM, a comprehensive sustainable tourism program that\nmaintains biodiversity while also developing the local economy,\u201d he said. \u201cThe\nINTEM Consortium,\u201d continued Prof. Slikkerveer, \u201cIs an integration of 3\napproaches, namely ecotourism, ethnocultural tourism, and community based\ntourism.\u201d *<\/p>\n\n\n\n
