A PLAN to develop more than
500 tourism villages has been published by the Indonesian government. The aim
is to help visitors discover traditional life in villages where residents
maintain indigenous cultures and live just as their ancestors did centuries
ago.
Each village will receive IDR75-100
million (£3,950-£5,260) in funding, plus training sessions in foreign languages,
art, culture and culinary skills to support low-income residents and enhance
tourists' enjoyment of the rural area.
Spread throughout Indonesia,
traditional villages offer the chance to explore places where age-old beliefs,
rituals and practices still dominate daily life. The people who live in these
areas maintain ancient ethnic customs, wear traditional clothes and produce
exotic arts and crafts, such as intricate batiks, allowing visitors to
experience distinctive cultures that remain free from the influences of modern
life.
