The “5 cm” movie has inspired Wicaksono, chief editor of PlasaMSN.com,
and his family to spend the school holiday at Mount Bromo, East Java.
“I
t’s going to be fun to spend the holiday at Bromo,” said 13 year old Sastra Jendra Hayudiningrat
and 10 year old Wangi Bunga Savana after they
watched the beauty of Mount Bromo on the “5
cm” movie. Their comments have moved their
father Wicaksono, known as Wicak, to plan the trip. He is
also known as “Ndoro Kakung” in the blogger world.
As holiday approaching the thought of Mount Bromo that
has cristalized in their mind was finally executed. This time
Wicak did out of the ordinary by planning the trip by air from
Jakarta to Surabaya.
“With the traffic condition it’s hard to enjoy the trip.
Jakarta, Bandung and the North Coast is always congested
espeially in June approaching the month of Ramadhan. Cost
wise it wasn’t too different driving and flying, but driving was
surely exhausting,” said Wicak explaining his choice of vacation this year.

and hiking track to the
Bromo crater
Wicaksono
Family
After he made certain about the destination of the trip
Wicak set his vacation time. The departure date will be June
19-23, 2013. The next step, he went online to get informations and recommendations. He also discussed the trip with
his wife and children. Through discussions and information
hunting in the internet they decided the destinations and
tourist sites that will be their target after the trip to Mount
Bromo. After a long search the family waas settled to make
Surabaya as the arrival and departure point from Jakarta.
“Surabaya is the alternative because there are lots of flight
in and out of the city. So there should be a lot of choices and
I can surf the internet to look for cheap tickets,” explained
Wicak.
The next step is to arrange the itinerary. Jakarta – Surabaya
– Bromo – Batu – Surabaya – Jakarta will be the route and it
will be specified to a more detailed tourist sites. Again the internet and friend’s recommendations are the best reference.
Next, Wicak surf the internet for cheap tickets, to book
a hotel for four days and a Toyota Hardtop as their transportation to cross the sandy plain of Bromo. “I was recommended To rent the jeep by a friend. My consideration was a
good driver who knows the area well. I got the price of Rp.
600.000/day including gasoline and driver.”

Ultraviolet radiation
is said to be one of the
cause of premature
aging, black spot, cataract
and skin cancer.
So, never ignore to wear
sun screen!
Should danger spoil your
planned vacation? Don’t! Take
action to avoid danger without
ruining your excitement. Put
on sun screen, wear hat, loose
clothes and other clothing that
can protect your skin from the
radiation.
Before applying sun screen it
is best to have a clear under
standing on the product that
is called sun block. Here are
some terminologies used that
need to be comprehended.
• UV: Ultraviolet radiation (UV).
Researches show that over
exposed to UV radiation can
interrupt skin health. Re
searchers called UV radiation
as the cause of different
types of skin cancer like no
melanoma, squamous cell
carcinoma, and alkali, cell
carcinoma.
UV is divided into UVA and
UVB. The radiation can pe
netrate earth atmosphere
and danger to skin health.
• UVA: UVA donates about
95% of UV radiation that
enter the earth atmosphere
and penetrating the glass.
Over exposure can cause
s
unbathing in the ocean or in
the mountain during holiday
is exciting. We can relax
and get benefit out of the
sun. New research from
Edinburgh University Dermatologist,
London, England as what has been
published at bbc.co.uk, mentioned
that the sun is not only rich in vitamin
D but also proven to help lower down
blood pressure and give good impact
to the heart.
keep cautious
The sun light over exposure may be
harmful. So it is best to be cautious,
damage to the skin among
many are the appearance of
black spot and premature ag
ing. The research also men
tions over exposed by UVA
can be the main cause of
many types of skin cancer.
• UVB: the emission of UVB
cannot penetrate glass. Over
exposure of UVB can cause
skin burn and redness.
• SPF (Sun Protection Fac
tor): beside mentioning its
benefit, to protect skin from
UVA and UVB radiation, sun
block lotion usually write
the content of the SPF for in
stance SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF
50 or even SPF 90.
The numbers show the
length of time the sun
screen is able to protect the
skin from UVB exposure.
The longer you are exposed
to UVB the highest SPF
should be chosen.
• PA+, PA ++, PA +++: is a
sign that show the product
to protect skin from UVA.
The more a “+” sign is
written on the product the
longer it will protect the skin
from UVA.

Tips
even though you will not feel the impact
directly.
Many researches show that over
exposed to sun light can lower the skin
immune that may easily irritated and in
fected the skin, the appearance of black
spot and premature aging.
Too much ultraviolet radiation will
cause cataract and different types of
cancer such as skin or eye cancer. The
ozone thin layer is believed to give
great percentage on ultraviolet radiation
conductance to earth. The Vision Council
London lately appealed to always wear
sunglasses when having outdoor activi
ties in a long period of time. The appeal
is not only for adults but also children.
• Protect yourself from
ultraviolet radiation with
sunscreen cream
• It is recommended to apply
sunscreen cream every two hours
• cover yourself with hat
• Don’t stay too long under the sun,
especially above 10 AM
• Don’t wear tight clothes when
having activities under the sun. Tight
clothes will directly lead the radiation
to the skin. Wear loose clothes.
• Wear sunglasses.
• Don’t rely only on foundation, pow
der, or any other makeup that contain
sunscreen protection. Those kinds of
makeup are not for outdoor.
• keep on wearing sunscreen cream
on cloudy weather. Ultraviolet radia
tion especially UVA happens in the
morning, afternoon, evening and in
any weather.
• Don’t forget to protect your lips
with lip balm that contain ultraviolet
protection.
Remember!
The level of SPF and PA
stated on the product does
not relate to the level of pro
tection the product can give.
Instead it indicates the length
of time of the protection.
The highest the SPF level, the
longer the protection will be.

Do not worry on what to eat. If
you ride the klotok boat to Tanjung

indulge your appetite with main
dishes and snacks. But if you take
the speed boat please bring food
along.
Before entering Tanjung Puting,
Camp Leakey is the first stop to
rest, to eat lunch and to take care
of the paperwork such as, report
ing to the local authority and buy
ing tickets.
The speed boat’s travel time is
shorter compared to klotok boat.
That is why most tourists who do
a one day trip will pick the speed
boat as their transportation. They
depart in the morning and back to

Arrived at the National Park you might
or might not be lucky. During fruiting
season Orangutan will not appear by
the outer part of the forest. But once
the fruits in the forest are lacking they
will come and greet you at the entrance
gate of the park.
Beware when you bring food. The
wild free orangutan will be interested
in your food as they see and smell it.
They will not release your hands and
foot until you give them all the food you
have. It is prohibited to give the orang
utan food but in reality tourists violate
the rule.
One of the attractions that you can
see in Tanjung Puting is the feeding
of the orangutan that is just being set
free and needed adjustment. To see
this you have to walk into the forest
for about one hour. It is interesting to
stroll in the thick forest where you can
smell the scent the fresh ground. The
orangutan will come and meet you.
Even those tame ones will like to be
cuddled. Some will not walk unless you
hold their hands. How does it feel to
be holding hands with the orangutan?
They are really heavy. A mature male
orangutan stands 150 cm and weighs
120 kg. Meanwhile the female ones are
120 cm tall and weigh 45 kg.
Educational Tour
There are so many things that you
can learn At Tanjung Puting National
Park, such as the history of orangutan,
their age and extinction. You will learn
how they protect and nurtured their
babies. And you will also be reminded
by how much trees have been cut to
make papers, wooden chopsticks and
stick matches.

Tanjung Puting National Park is
usually the main destination for
tourist who comes to Central Ka
limantan specifically to Pangkalan
Bun.
This research, conservation and
wild free location for orangutan is
famous overseas. To get to Tan
jung Puting you have to go through
Kumai Harbor about one hour
travel from Pangkalan Bun. At the
harbor you can rent a speed boat
or a klotok boat. The trip to Tanjung
Puting with the klotok boat takes
about six hours.
You can enjoy the speed of the
boat while sightseeing to the right
and left of the river. Long tailed
monkeys hang on the trees. Birds
fly or perch on the branches.
Sometimes you can see crocodiles
sunbathing quietly that you might
think a floating log.
The water color of the Sekonyer
River has its own story. At the
beginning of the journey the water
looks brownish because of the pol
lution causes by the illegal mining
in the area. As you get closer to
Tanjung Puting National Park, the
water changes to black and reddish
color. In fact it is the original water
color of rivers in Kalimantan. The
dark color is caused by the reflec
tion of the old tree trunk under the
water. The water is so clear that
the objects underneath can be
reflected.
When night comes, the boat will
dock by the river bank. Enjoy the
Pesalat

Tips
Facts on Orangutan
Kalimantan is one of the areas in Indonesia that is
categorized as prone to malaria and other mosquito
bite diseases. You are suggested to take medication
for malaria before your vacation to Tanjung Puting

Don’t forget to bring repellent.
Touring at Tanjung Puting will give you a
great new knowledge and experience but it is
not recommended to bring children under the
age of 5.
Children need guidance and supervision on the trip down the river and
exploring the forest.
Bring your personal medication to
Tanjung Puting.
If you don’t want to be hassled, you can
ask the travel agent to arrange the trip.
The price for the service varies from 3
to 6 million rupiahs per person (including tour and lodge). For local tourist the
price is less.
Juli hingga Agustus merupakan masa high
season. Biasanya sewa kapal klotok menjadi
lebih sulit. Namun, pada bulan-bulan itu
bisa dimanfaatkan untuk bergabung de
ngan rombongan lain, sehingga harga
sewa perahu menjadi lebih murah.
May is the best time to visit Tanjung Puting.
The fine weather allows travelers to explore
the forest and feast their eyes with the view.
They can watch the apes swinging and the
birds flying on the trees by the river bank. If
you are lucky you can see crocodiles and
fireflies decorating the dark sky around the

Orangutan
often waylay the tourists
It only takes minutes to travel by
boat to Tanjung Harapan, Orang
utan’s feeding place, and to Camp
Leakey to rest and take care of the
paper work before entering Tanjung
Puting National Park visiting area.
Rimba Ecolodge offers a unique
tour package for education. Camp
Leakey Package and Pesalat Tour

konyer River and to witness the
acts of illegal gold mining, log
ging and hunting that destroyed
the ecosystem and the habitat of
Orangutan. There are 80% of the
Orangutan’s habitat vanished in the
last 20 years.
“This is a battle between the
industrial development, people’s
living source, and biodiversity,” said
Gede Ori from Rimba Ecolodge.
If the time allows, within four
hours travel we can stop by Camp
Leakey and Pesalat Reforestation
Center. It is a natural area with
an easy path to travel. We can go
through marshland, dry land and
dill area. If you are interested in
plants you may take small tree
home. While you are there you

West Kotawaringin (Kobar) is
one of the 14 regencies in Central
Kalimantan with the capital city
Pangkalan Bun or it is well known as
Kota Manis. The regency is situated
close to the equator. That makes
the sun shines so intensely during
dry season.

interesting to see the eatery
sway whenever a boat passes

really blends in your mouth.
The aroma of pandanus leaf
makes the rice more tempt
ing. Mas Pandikono, the
eatery owner, and his wife
Salimah open up their green
rice’s secret recipe. “The
green color comes from the
blended spinach, the aroma is
from the pandanus leaf, the
taste of savory comes from
coconut milk, lemon grass and
salt,” explained Salimah.
The green rice that has been
the eatery’s main dish is only
served on Sunday. On the week
days Alam Ria Floating Eatery
serves plain rice. You can have a
choice of fried or grilled chicken
and fish, hot tomato sambal and
raw vegetables to go with the
rice.
If you want to try the sway
of the boat and menu of the
eatery, it is best to come in the
afternoon. Sunset around River
Arut Bridge is worth seeing,
beautiful and romantic.
Eating at Alam Ria Green Eat
ery can be a special experience
for tourist. The sensation felt
since you lay foot on the eatery.

You can feel a remarkable sensation at Apung
Jaya House, a 20 minutes ride by motor boat
from Karimunjawa. Apung House has been the
favorite lodge to most tourists, because it is
well-equipped.
It has more room than the Floating House but
it is still limited, only 15 units. That is why the
lodge is always fully booked several months in
advance.
At Apung House, there is also a shark pool and
several other marine animals that the guest can
swim with and touched. Snorkling, diving, and
fishing are three activities among many others
that can be done there. At night, when the sky
is clear, you can enjoy sitting on the veranda of
Apung House, staring at the dark sky and sea,
feel the tranquility and the sound of the waves
Whenever you travel without a travel arrange
ment from an agency, remember to set up an
appointment with the fishing boat owner for a
pick up because they do not come daily. If there
is no tourist that needs to be picked up or any
matter that needs to be done in the island, they
will just pass by. If it happens to you then you
have to find a way to return to Karimunjawa.

Family Vacation
The “5 cm” movie has inspired Wicaksono, chief editor of PlasaMSN.com,
and his family to spend the school holiday at Mount Bromo, East Java.
“I
t’s going to be fun to spend the holiday at Bro
mo,” said 13 year old Sastra Jendra Hayudiningrat
and 10 year old Wangi Bunga Savana after they
watched the beauty of Mount Bromo on the “5
cm” movie. Their comments have moved their
father Wicaksono, known as Wicak, to plan the trip. He is
also known as “Ndoro Kakung” in the blogger world.
As holiday approaching the thought of Mount Bromo that
has cristalized in their mind was finally executed. This time
Wicak did out of the ordinary by planning the trip by air from
Jakarta to Surabaya.
“With the traffic condition it’s hard to enjoy the trip.
Jakarta, Bandung and the North Coast is always congested
espeially in June approaching the month of Ramadhan. Cost
wise it wasn’t too different driving and flying, but driving was
surely exhausting,” said Wicak explaining his choice of vaca
tion this year.

After he made certain about the destination of the trip
Wicak set his vacation time. The departure date will be June
19-23, 2013. The next step, he went online to get informa
tions and recommendations. He also discussed the trip with
his wife and children. Through discussions and information
hunting in the internet they decided the destinations and
tourist sites that will be their target after the trip to Mount
Bromo. After a long search the family waas settled to make
Surabaya as the arrival and departure point from Jakarta.
“Surabaya is the alternative because there are lots of flight
in and out of the city. So there should be a lot of choices and
I can surf the internet to look for cheap tickets,” explained
Wicak.
The next step is to arrange the itinerary. Jakarta – Surabaya
– Bromo – Batu – Surabaya – Jakarta will be the route and it
will be specified to a more detailed tourist sites. Again the in
ternet and friend’s recommendations are the best reference.
Next, Wicak surf the internet for cheap tickets, to book
a hotel for four days and a Toyota Hardtop as their trans
portation to cross the sandy plain of Bromo. “I was recom
mended To rent the jeep by a friend. My consideration was a
good driver who knows the area well. I got the price of Rp.
600.000/day including gasoline and driver.”

Santi, Wicak’s wife, prepared basic
medication. She also prepared some
traditional remedy for the children.
On the D day they depart for Suraba
ya. As they arrived at Juanda airport
arented car was ready to take them
to Bromo. On the way the children
had a chance to see Suramadu
Bridge and stop by at the location of
Lapindo Mud. The purpose was to let
the children witness in real what they
have seen on television.
They reach Bromo at 3.30 PM.
They went straight to Kafe Lava Inn
with a Rp. 600.000/night rate. Kafe
Lava Inn was picked up because of
the wifi and some recommendations
of local and foreign tourists. At dawn
Jendra and Bunga was so eager to
get ready to head for Pananjakan
with the rented Jeep which often
used for sandy desert and rocky road.
From Pananjakan they continued the
journey by horse and foot heading for
the spot where they can feast their
eyes with the magnificent sunrise.
The kids had their clothing ready
skullcaps, gloves, jacket and raincoat
to cover their body from the dew.
Their next destination was the
crater. This time Wicak decided to
stay in the Jeep while his wife and
children enjoy the horse riding and
stepping each step towards the
crater. The journey continued to the
Whispering Sand and Teletabies Hill.
They got back to the inn just
in time for lunch. After they
enjoy their meal and packed
up their belongings they car
ried on with their journey to
Batu, East Java. Batu is a city
known as Little Switzerland of
Java. They spent the night at
Royal Orchid Garden.
The next day, the children’s
felicity was poured out at
Jatim Park 2. At Bromo the
kids were amazed by the
sand whereas here they can’t
stop moving. The animals,
the rides and the shows can’t
stop them from trying each
one. “They played since 10
AM until the place closed at 6
PM. They said it’s not enough
and wanted to come back
some other time,” told Wicak
laughing.
After a short rest at the
hotel, they went to Batu Night
Spectacular. A recreational
place opens at night that com
bines culinary and children’s
games. Jendra and Bunga
spend their time playing until
midnight.
Tireless, the kids woke up
the next morning with the
same spirit. They seem to
have an extra energy to play at
Safari Garden, Pandaan. They
explore the arena and play.
The peak of the occasion was
to watched the Cowboy Show.
“The kids love this show. It
has lots of surprises like water
splashes that make them
Jendra, Bunga and Santi at
Batu Apple Plantation
laugh. They can tell what’s
going to happen but they still
shout and laugh happily,” told
Wicak.
The trip from Pandaan Safari
Garden continued to Sura

one night at Mercure Hotel
Surabaya before they depart
for Jakarta the next day.

I
never thought visiting
tourist destinations and
culinary places in one day
can be done neatly and
pleasantly. I am so lucky to
be part of the One Day Travel
ling, a community that facili
tates busy people who want
to enjoy life with traveling.
Solo, Jogja, Medan, Ban
dung, Garut, Cirebon, has been
explored by the community.
A while ago I had a chance to
travel with the community, led
by Raga Dipa a 22 year old who
loves traveling and art, to the
Shrimp City Cirebon, West Java.
On the fixed date, we ga
thered at Gambir Station at 5.15
AM. There were five of us who
traveled that day. The train and
other on land transportations
are always the choice for every
trip. “In principle, we toured
to places that can be reached
within less than five hours from
Jakarta without the airplane”
revealed Raga.
But this principle is not a set
thing. If most members request
ed a trip that requires airplane,
it will still be done. Up to this
moment traveling is still a one
day trip. We leave in the morning
and return in the evening without
staying overnight.

Nasi Jamblang
SITU PATOK
With the morning train, we
headed for Cirebon. It was my
first trip to the city. While listen
ing to the roaring of the train, I
had doubt on the trip. Would it be
possible to visit the city’s tourist
destinations and culinary places
in just one day? This was an
interesting challenge that I looked
forward to.
I was tempted to have break
fast on the train. But the tour
guide suggested on holding our
hunger. After a three hour trip we
arrived at Cirebon Station. The
ground was still wet from last
night’s rain.
In front of the station the “tour
ojek”, the community’s partner
ship” was ready to take us. The
fleet was commanded by Veng
gar the manager of the “tour
ojek”. The group set out to the
first destination that was Nasi
Jamblang breakfast at Mang Dul,
Cipto Street. That morning the
eatery was already filled with
customers.
Nasi Jamblang is fist size rice
wrapped in teak leaf. Because
the rice is only a fist size, one is
not enough. People usually eat
more than two.
There were various side dishes
to go with the rice, such as,
goreng otak, quail eggs satay,
squid, tofu, krupuk kulit chips, frit
ters and many more. There were
25 different dishes that we can
select. But the red chili paste that
has savory, sour, sweet taste but
not too hot was the best.

After breakfast the group rushed to the
Kasepuhan Palace. The palace was celebrat
ing the Prophet Mohammed’s Maul. There
were lots of visitors and vendors surrounding
the palace. To reach the court of the palace,
built in 1529 by Mas Mochammad Arifin II the
great grandchild of Sunan Gunung Jati, we
had to pass the some vendors. They were
there during the festivity. These vendors sold
varieties of snacks such as giant onde-onde
three times the regular size. Some vendors
sold home appliances. In fact, there were
also fortune teller and charm seller among
the vendors.
After we purchased the entrance tickets, a
guide fluently explained every corner of the
palace. We started at the well maintained
main gate to the utmost part of the palace
where the king’s throne located. On the
steps to the throne there where ornaments
and ceramics decorated with pictures taken
from the Bible story.
From the main hall we were taken to the
weapon storage. They store weaponry such
as Keris in that place. And then the guide led
us to the golden chariot. It has a unique shape,
the front part resembles a dragon where as
the back part has the shape of a horse.
The chariot is made of black wooden steel.
It was designed by one of the prince before
the Dutch conquered the country. The great
thing about the chariot is its advance techno
logy. It uses rocking suspension and power
steering. In the old days chariots are pulled
by buffalo, on bumpy roads the spring will
rock and the tongue of fire come in and out
of the dragon’s mouth. The chariot has a
pair of wings on the left and right that move
constantly as if they flap. Interestingly, It has
been the target of chariot collectors around
the world.

Coffee
Coffee lovers must enjoy the taste of West Java
coffee at Parahyangan Koffie, located at the
Floating Market, Lembang, Bandung.
O
nly few people know
that Papandayan and
Pengalengan are the
first coffee plantation
in Indonesia which
was successfuly planted with Arabi
ca coffee beans brought by Thomas
Stamford Bingley Raffles (1811).
In fact, Raffles had tried to grow
Arabica coffee tree in Bengkulu, but
failed. The English botanist concluded
that Arabican can only grow on a land
1000 meters above sea level.
“History recorded, West Java was
the producer of the number one quali
ty coffee in the world. Unfortunately,
as time went by the title disappeared.
“Papandayan and Pengalengan, is
better known for its tourist attractions
and tea plantations” said Alexander
coffee lovers and self-taught coffee
expert.
Luckily, there are coffee drink
ers that still care about West
Java Coffee. Therefore when
entrepreneur meets an idealistic
coffee expert, they decide to
built Parahyangan Koffie. Nico
laus Iskandar and Alexander
agreed to colaborate in regain
ing the glory days of West Java
coffee. They buy coffee beans
above the market price from the
farmers. The difference in price
is given in a form of fertilizers.
The product is not only
marketed in the country but
also overseas. China is the first
country to import Parahyangan
Koffie. “They welcome Para
hyangan Koffie. Especially the
special edition coffee. How
can coffee tastes like red wine,
that’s what they said,” explained
Nicolaus laughing.
Alexander explains, the
taste of coffee depends on the
nutrient and age of the soil,
harvesting technique, sorts
of coffee, maintenance, postharvest handling proccess,
and roasting process. “Storing
technique affect the process of
fermentation and coffee flavor,”
said Alexander.
According to Alexander, cof
fee has a lot of varieties in flavor
because of the external factors
and its ability to absorb odor.
There is a coffee plantation in
Guatemala that offers coffee
with orange flavor. People love
it. Although it is expensive, 19
million rupiahs per kilo.
“Eventhough it needs a lot of
processes, but we can do the
same one here. Coffee with
orange flavor is grown alter
nately between a row of coffee
and orange tree. In Pengalengan
there is coffee with green tea
flavor, 100 green tea trees are
grown around the coffee planta
tion to help shield them from
the wind. The bottom line we
are rich but unnoticed let alone
cultivated,” explained Alexander.
Parahyangan Coffee
Alexander and Niclaus not
only carry Parahyangan Koffie
brand to China but also offered
coffee with the same brand
at the Floating Market area in
Lembang, Bandung.
It is so enjoyable sipping a cup
of West Java coffee processed
in a Japanese coffee maker,
Chiffon . Relaxing on a wooden
chair while laying your eyes on
the cafe’s traditional interior, the
lake view outspread in front of
our eyes, the afternoon sunlight
that penetrates through tiny
holes around the cafe which
formed golden lines as if we are
in a painting.
Almost three hours has
passed. Visitors came in and
out of the cafe, observing the
coffee bean display, enjoy
ing the coffee flavor, pamper
themselves with the view of

Should danger spoil your
planned vacation? Don’t! Take
action to avoid danger without
ruining your excitement. Put
on sun screen, wear hat, loose
clothes and other clothing that
can protect your skin from the
radiation.
Before applying sun screen it
is best to have a clear under
standing on the product that
is called sun block. Here are
some terminologies used that
need to be comprehended.
• UV: Ultraviolet radiation (UV).
Researches show that over
exposed to UV radiation can
interrupt skin health. Re
searchers called UV radiation
as the cause of different
types of skin cancer like no
melanoma, squamous cell
carcinoma, and alkali, cell
carcinoma.
UV is divided into UVA and

Edinburgh University Dermatologist,
London, England as what has been
published at bbc.co.uk, mentioned
that the sun is not only rich in vitamin
D but also proven to help lower down
blood pressure and give good impact
to the heart.
Keep Cautious
The sun light over exposure may be
harmful. So it is best to be cautious,
even though you will not feel the impact
directly.
Many researches show that over
exposed to sun light can lower the skin
immune that may easily irritated and in

spot and premature aging.
Too much ultraviolet radiation will
cause cataract and different types of
cancer such as skin or eye cancer. The

tions over exposed by UVA
can be the main cause of
many types of skin cancer.
• UVB: the emission of UVB
cannot penetrate glass. Over
exposure of UVB can cause
skin burn and redness.
• SPF (Sun Protection Fac
tor): beside mentioning its
benefit, to protect skin from
UVA and UVB radiation, sun
block lotion usually write
the content of the SPF for in

50 or even SPF 90.
The numbers show the
length of time the sun

skin from UVB exposure.
The longer you are exposed
to UVB the highest SPF
should be chosen.
• PA+, PA ++, PA +++: is a
sign that show the product
to protect skin from UVA.
The more a “+” sign is
written on the product the
longer it will protect the skin
from UVA.
Tips
• Protect yourself from
ultraviolet radiation with
sunscreen cream
• It is recommended to apply
sunscreen cream every two hours
• cover yourself with hat
• Don’t stay too long under the sun,
especially above 10 AM
• Don’t wear tight clothes when
having activities under the sun. Tight
clothes will directly lead the radiation
to the skin. Wear loose clothes.
• Wear sunglasses.
• Don’t rely only on foundation, pow
der, or any other makeup that contain
sunscreen protection. Those kinds of
makeup are not for outdoor.
• keep on wearing sunscreen cream
on cloudy weather. Ultraviolet radia
tion especially UVA happens in the
morning, afternoon, evening and in
any weather.
• Don’t forget to protect your lips
with lip balm that contain ultraviolet
protection.
Remember!
The level of SPF and PA
stated on the product does
not relate to the level of pro
tection the product can give.
Instead it indicates the length
of time of the protection.
The highest the SPF level, the
longer the protection will be.

In Line Water Tourism
Phenomenon
The event that combines sports and cultural tourism has become
an accurate marketing strategy and at the same time actuating
the region in developing river and lake tourism
What is the obstacle in developing in line
water tourism in Indonesia?
River and lake management in many countries
in Europe has been regulated and laid-out. The in
frastructures are more organized and easy to care.
Indonesia needs different approaches. The devel
opment of river and lake tourism has already been
done in written instruction.
What is the way out?
The best way is to create agenda with news
value that will be the attention of the media. Those
two things can motivate the region to work to
gether to build river and lake tourism. Of course it
needs coordination between central and regional
government. In this case the role of mass media
is very important. Coverage on the process and
preparation of infrastructure can spur on the region
to bring target into reality.
I
NDONESIA possesses thou
sands of unexplored potential
fresh water tourism. There
are 5.950 drainage basins
and 1.575 lakes to benefit
as tourist attraction to improve
the people’s welfare and at the
same time arouse awareness on
nature rearing and preservation.
How to harmonize raising the
potential, marketing and preserva
tion awareness seems to be the
problem.
According to Sapta Nirwandar,
Deputy Minister of Tourism, the
three matters mentioned interrelat
ed. Many countries are developing
potential fresh water tourism which
is called in line water tourism. In line
with the Tourism Day theme held
on September 27th, Tourism and
Water: Protecting our Common
Future.
Following is part of the interview
between Destinasi Indonesia and
Sapta Nirwandar on potentials and
marketing strategy &promotion
related to in line water tourism.
Has this been done in the past?
Tour de Singkarak, an international scale bike
race, has proven this to be an effective way. The re
gent and his deputy always attend the coordination
meeting. On a certain level the meeting is attended
by the governor. Control is done by the media
through its coverage. Once there was an inspec
tion before the event and found out that one region
was not ready. As soon as it was in the news, in
marathon they finished the work. The event was
proven successful and the building of the support
ing infrastructure went smoothly. People can feel
the benefit right away.
Will the government hold this type of event
on river and lake?
This is the most effective way in promoting and
marketing the river and lake tourism and at the
same time to motivate the regional government
and customary society to move forward in building
and decorating their region. This is more effec
tive than just delivering instruction by the central
government.
What kind event is effective?
The combination of sport tourism and cultural
55
tourism, especially an international sports compe
tition can be a fast way to invite tourist. It has a
great news value to be covered by the media. We
can rearrange existing festivals and create new
festivals with interesting concepts. For instance,
developing heritage tourism by utilizing Batanghari
River that used to be a trade route, holding fashion
shows on top of a boat, music festivals and many
more.
What kind of impact is expected?
Firstly, of course this is to increase people’s
welfare. As a result of seeing the river and lake
can elevate their welfare, there will be awareness
in protecting what can be used to make a living.
Developing river and lake tourism can trigger the
development of hotel and infrastructure. Vietnam
and Thailand have successfully benefited Mekong
and Chao Phraya River. We have a greater poten
tial. Maybe one day guestroom hotel build facing
the river can have higher value.

Medical Tourism
Many European tourists no lon
ger go for the sun and beach. But
now they are into medical tour,
this is because of the high cost
of medical treatment and health
insurance. A survey mentioned
about 3%-4% of tourist in the
