EXECUTIVE SUMMERY Tourism is Indonesia's moat important non-oillgu source of foreign exchange after timber and textile&. Foreign visitor arrivals to Indonesia in 2007 totalled 5,505,759: foreign exchange eami~s totalled US$5.346 billion; and tourism's contribution to GOP and employment was 7.2% and 6% respec::tivefy. Within ASEAN, Indonesian tourism ranks 4th behind Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore in terms of total foreign tourist arrivals but has lost 25% market share from 2002 to 2006. Tourism has the potantial to create employment and income and to stimulate pro-poor impact in economic:ally disaclvantaged regions. The tourism sector conliats of a number of sutHectora such as tour operators, hotel & restaurants, dive operators, guides, tranaportation providers. The large majority of these busin8S888 are micro and email enterprise~. Swiacontact has implemented a tourism development project in Aorea alnce 2006. The project resulted in quality improvements of tourism services and fadlities and tha promotion of West Flores around the Komodo National P81k and hBI contributed to an increase of international visitor arrivals by air from 9,233 in 2005 to 23,522 in 2008, the creation of 266 full time job& and the increase rA the contribution of the touriam sector to the RGDP from USD 2.3 mio (3.9 %) to USD 4.6 mio {7.9%). M the funding from AuaAID for this project was limited until end of 2008, tlrat diiCUSSions between SECO and Swisscontact took place in March/April 2008 on a new expanded project to build on the succeiUI88 of WiSATA. The concept note was aubmitted to SECO in July 2008. An intemal'advocacy note' was approved in December 2008. SECO commissioned an external feasibility study in March 2009. The feasibility study team came to the conclusions that 1he actMtieB f&BHzed (in the pilot phase) have positively Impacted tourism and economic development, complying with Pf0'1XJOf ctitetta. The experience ptepared the ground for futther improwments and a wider tegional tourism development under a Destination Managamsnt Olganizatioll (DMO) approach. Sw;sscontsct's background and experience is compstible with a f88/JonsJbls tourism development. • The team suggested therefore an expansion of the project, focusing on the fac:ilitation of local DMOs in the two entry points rA Flores, a regicnal DMO focusi~ on marketing of the Aores destination at the Indonesian tourism hub in Bali and the valorlsation of the DMO experience gained at the Department for Culture and Tourism. As propoaed by the feasibility atudy team, the DMO approach will provide the conceptual framework for the project. In January 2009, lndonesta has paaaed a new tourism law, v.tllch aatgns a wide range of tasks to the local Governments and foreaees the establishment privately managed tourism promotion agencies on loeal, regional and national level. The Directorate for Culture and Tourism has therefore Indicated a atrong intereat in the project as it would allow the Directorate to further develop its appnJach for profeasional deetlnation management in Indonesia. The propoaed project with a planned duration of 48 months covers the ialand of Florea as regional tourism destination. Flores is part of the province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTI), one of the poorest provinces In Indonesia. The 8888Bsment team came to the conclusion that 'Flores has an untapped potantJsJ for naturs, marins and cultural tourism wlh complementing tourism objects and attractions promoted under a 'Beyond Ball' prot;le. At the 88I7J8 time, thenl 818 a number of W88kn88868 and thrsats which must be addi8SS6d if such a promot;onal program is to succeed. The lack d proper planning and management of tourism development, the poor standards of human f8SOUtce cspac;ity building and problems with the tourism infrastructUTS - all underline the need for a more structUI8d, partk;ipetory process that involves tourism stakeholders. This must first be undertaken on a local district level and, as a second step, for Flores as a destination at a rsgional level. -I- Project Document WISATA Based on this analyeia, the proposed project aims to IIICI'fNfae the competltNeness at the foulfsnr dutJn-'lon Rore.. The outcome indicators are defined in an incraase af foreign tourist arrival in Flores from today around 25'000 to 45'000 in 2013, an increase of buainell88 working in the tourism sector by 30% as well aa a 7% annual increase in average daily visitor spending. Baaed on theee outcomes, the project aims at the impact level on the cretltion of at least 700 new full time jobs in the Flcns tourism industry. In order to achieve thla outcome, the project will facilitate the establishment and operation of two local DMOI in Welt and East Aorea (outputs 1 snd 2). After the praject supported start-up and consolidation on the job leaming phase, the two local DMO. will be 1'88P01'1Sible for tourilrn stakeholder coordination and the facilitation of Internal Deatination Devebpment interventions in HRD, visitor information and services, sustainable local tourism development policy, regulations and planning, conflict mediation, local market surveys, and pro poor tourism product developments. In terms of the Extemal Deetination Marketing the local DMO. will be responsible for the preparation of deetination promotion tools and supporting functions for familiarization tours, aales blllz88 and trade shows. With key focus on the brancfmg of Florea aa tourism deatination, the project will facllltata and support the development of a regional DMO located in Bali (output 3). Bali as the major Indonesian gateway for foreign tourist Ia home to more than 330 registered travel agencies, many of whom well represented at International travel fairs.. The strong representation of the world's leading whofesalera in Bali - lnduding resident repnl8ent.atives af the big Swiss leisure travel companies - provides the rational to establish the regional Florea DMO in Bali. The regional DMO will atrengthen the extemal marketing of Flores as wellaa coordinate and stimulate the regional cooperation betvueen the locat Govemments on Floree. For the extemal marketing aynergiee are envisaged with the SIPPO program on touriam. Environment isauea play an important role in the promotion ofsulbllnabla tourism. The projed will addraea this by integrating aspects of carrying capacity of the destination and by designing spec;ific activities with focus on environment protedion. In terma of finanaalsuatalnability, the DMOa are expected to generate around 50 to 60% of their income through services and the remaining funding is expected to come from local Government contributions baaed on the new tourism law, which promotea local destinatiOn management units. In order to make the experienGM gained available for the development of the future tourism destination management approach in Indonesia under the newly passed tourism law, the project responds to the request of OCT for technical aaalatanca with a specific output on capacity building on national level. The projed will assist the working group for destination management in evaluating the preaent bollfenecks in destination management and will provtda policy advice and practical destination development tools baMd on the Flores destination management experience. Through this link to the national level, the project will be in the position to leverage the axper1ence gained to other local and regional destinations promoted by OCT. Direct beneficiariea of the projed are an estimated number of 5000 people working in the tourism b~saea, the local Governments tn the five diatrtcta of Flores as well as the national Govemment represented through the Deplirtment of Tourism and Culture. More than 35,000 indirect beneficiaries are businesses and households whid'1 are linked to the direct beneficiarlel either in the form of suppliers (e.g. farmera as providera of food atuff) or as beneficiariea of transfer payments (remittances of employeea in the tourism aector). The project wilt be staffed with an international project manager and project 811iatant as well• 9 core staff and 9 supporting staff located in the 3 off'IC8S of Bali, Labuan Bajo and Maumere. This core team will complemented by a pool of international and local shortterm consultant• with specific taaka. -II- Project Document WISATA 2. : ..... INTRODUCTION 2.1. PROJECT ORIGINS AND PREPARATION SWl88contact has more than 40 years of experience in Indonesia in development cooperation and apec;ifically in private sector development. Since 2004, Swisscontact is implementing a roca1 economic development project in Florea, focuslng on value chain development in agricultural sectors. In June 2006, the Australian Govemment (AuaAID) through the ANTARA program entrusted Swtsscontact with the implementation d a tourism promotion project (WiSATA) in West Manggaral, Flores. The project has strengthened the local stakeholders in quality improvements of tourism services and facilities and the promotion Of the geographic area of West Flores around the wor1d heritage Komodo National Partt and has contributed to an increaae of international visitor arrivals by air from 9,233 in 2005 to 23,5221n 2008. The Australian funding for the project was limited until end of 2008 and SWissoontact is presently financing a follow-up phase rl the project under its development program. The positive experience gained in this project aa well aa the feedback of other destinations on the WiSATA approach has motivated Swiaacontact to propose a new, expanded project to SECO. Rrst discussions between SECO and Swisscontact took place in March and April 2008. It was agreed that SWisscontact will work out a concept outline for a new projed for submission to SECO. The concept nota was submitted in July 2008. Baaed on SECO'a •advocacy note• discussed in SECO's operation committee on 1611 December 2008, SECO decided to commission a feasibility study for the project •Regional Tourism Development beyond Bali• with SECO's new priority country Indonesia. 2.2. PROJECT DESIGN PREPARATION The feasibility study mtsaion took place In March 2009. The draft report waa submitted to SECO end of April 2009. The validation mission with wor1<8hops in labuan Bajo (Wast Flores), Maumere (Eaa1 Florea) and Jakarta has been conducted from June 13 to 18, 2009. 2.2.1. FINDINGS OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY In the exacutiYe aummary, the mission team summarizes the findings of the feasibility atudy as follows: rrne team•s oonclusion is that tourism development in Floras island is at 8 crossroads. Flora8 has an untapped potentml for a nafuiB, marine and cultural tourism with r:omplsmenting toutism objects and sttractions promoted under a ·aeyond Bali" profile. AI the same time, thenJ ara a number of weaknesses and threats which must be addreBI!I6d if such a promotional program is to succeed. The lack of proper planning and management of tourism developm&nt, the poor standards of human f8SOUIC8 capacity building and problems with the tourism infrastructure - all undettine the need for a mote structul8d, pattlclpstory process that involves tourism stakeholders. This must first be undettakan on a local district level and, as a MIOOtJd step, for Floras as a destination at a f8Qionallevel. The WJSATA West Flonls Tourism Sector D8v&lopment Project execut&d by Swisscontact 2006-2008 has achieved positive outcomes on th8 level of struolu18 (integration of public and private stakeholders into joint destination developm&nt structuf8, enabling tourism busine8s environment), pmducts (improvements in attractions and services) and marlceting and promotion (blanding, destination promotion porlfolio, web-prssence, links to BaiNH!ssd tourism chain rep18S8ntafilles). The sctivlies reslized have posifively impacted tourism and economic deve/opmfKrt, complying with PfO-P001' criteria. The experience ptflpa18d the ground for further improvements and a wider Page1 Project Document WISATA .__, awis£~C:'1t.- ~t regional tourism development under a Destination Management Orpanization (DMO) approach. Swisscontsct's bBckgtound and experience is compatible with steSpOnSible tourism development. • The team suggested a follow-up project baaed on the following components: A) creation and consolidation of local DMOs in West Flores and J:ast Flores B) preparetion of inter-district cooperation by capacity building and fscllitstion, preparing the ground for a mgionaJ Florea DMO; C) Improvement of linkS from Flotes to the tourism hub Bali through a penn811Bnt pr8S8nce ths18 for matkeling and logistic support D) vBiorisstion of the pilot DMO experience of Flores in capacity building and shared le8ming at the level of the national tourism authorities, wlh the aim of assimilation and replication ol the DMO concept In other destinations; This project design follows the recommended components of the feasibility asae11ment team, as outlined In the following chaptera. 2.2.2. FINDINGS OF THE VALIDAnON WORKSHOPS Two project validations workShops with relevant tourism sector stakeholders have been conducted in Flores. followed by a validation meeting with the Ministry of Tourism and CuHure in Jakarta. The West Flora Deatiutlon validation workshop - held on June 15, 2009 in Labuan Bajo involved a total of 27 participants tom private sector, distrid- and central government, Swisscontact and SECO. Tne group work results as Mil aa the talk show questions and anewert confirmed the need for a profauional DMO to address the current weaknasaea in coordinated acttvltiea for internal de8tination development and external destination martceting. The project approach for a fast establishment of a profeaaional local West Florea DMO has bean regarded u appropriate by all attending stakeholders. The local stakeholders stressed the need for Human Resource Development and better coordination among afl Flores tourism atakehotdera. The East Florw Destlndon validation worbhop- held on June 17, 2000 in Maumere involved a total of 28 participants from private sector, dlatrid govemments, SWiescontact and the SECO feasibitity study mission team. The feedback from the stakeholders haa confirmed a atrong agreement and eagerness for all proposed outputs and activities to Initiate and facilitate the development of a wider destination offer, improvements in services, facilities, and promotion and branding, based on concentrated capaCity building efforta and the strengthening of tour1sm sector Government Agencies, BM08, MSMEa and asaociations. The worklhop results revealed that the proposed two years of initial destination development and Institutional atrengthani~ efforts are needed before the East Florea DMO can be established. Project vallddon meeting wllh Department of CultuN 1nd Tourism (DCT) - held on June 19 at the Department in Jakarta involved the General Director for tourist destination development, the Seaetary General of the Miniatry, the Deputy Director for MuHitateral Cooperation. and five Ministry core staff, the SWill Embassy, SECO and SWieecontact representatives. The meeting confirmed that the proposed project activities are strongly eupplemenllng the current and planned efforts of OCT in the development of regional and local tourtat destinations. The General otractor stressed the importance of the project to serve aa model for other regional and local destinations as well as the importance of the projed for the success of additional future tourist destinations. Page2 Project Document \NISATA 'j aw1 S£ ~c n c~~t It was agreed that a destination management working group shall ba established by tha DCT in artier to allow coordination and a continuous sharing of experiences from different Indonesian destination development initiatives.

INDONESIA UNDER THE REGIONAL AUTONOMY ERA Under the reformation area since 1998, the country made a fundamental tranafonnation in democratic reform, from a highly centralized govemment to widespread decentralization. Autonomy •s granted to regenciea or disbicte, but not to provinoeswith the exceptK)n of Greater Jakarta. Regional Autonomy was enacted through Parliamentary Law no. 22 and no. 25 of 1999, which allowed the Central Government to retain frva powars only, namely in defence and security, the judiciary, foreign politics, fiscal and monetary policies, religious affairs and •other authorities•. Under the 'other authorities', a number of economic aadors continue to remain the purview of the central government, theae include mining, infrastructure development (airports and airlines, hartoure and shipping, telecommunications, power supply, etc.). Additionally, the management of nature conservation areas (on land and at sea) remains with the national government. The role of the province accordi~ to the initial regional autonomy law it limited to coordination taska mainly. Today, as a unitary atata, Indonesia counts 33 provinces and more than 510 autonomous districts. Wdh the decentralization proceaa, autonomy and budget responsibility have bean transferred to the district level, giving the districts the steering competence for tourism development. Local Governments are suppoaed to generate a part of their budget through locally generated Income, mainly from local taxes and retributions. Tl'le hotel and restaurant tax of 10% according to national law is collected locally and provides a considerable conbibution to tl'le locally generated income in many districts. One of the ahortcomins• of the decentralization process in lndoi"'MJia is the fact that decentralization on diatrid level does not take into account that economic development (and hereunder also tourism development) follows markets rather than political borders. The political inetn.Jmenta for regional cooperation are not yet developed which hamper economic development in many f.elde, specifically alao in tourism promotion. where destinations are not defined In line with political borders. 3.2. NA nONAL TOURISII FRAIIEWORK Over the past uweral years, a number of rules and regulations have helped to clarify and align the operations and coordination of the different sectors, in terms of the respective authority held by the central government, the provinces and the diatricta. Meanwhile, Law no.1 0 of 2009 on Touriam waa finally enacted in January 2009, although ita promulgation still awaits implementing regulations from the central government. The new reflects the decentralization and defines tourism promotion as a Joint responsibility between national, regional and local Government. The law puts destination management l'ligh on the agenda and foresees the eatablishment of privately run tourism promotion bodies on all Ieveii, which provtdea an excellent entry point fer the proposed DMO approach. The present duties of the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCl) are limited to facilitation, national planning, intemational retations, overseas marketing and promotion, coordination between government department& on tourism-related policies, and the coordination on tourism matters with the provincaa. The OCT is in the process of drawing up a national tourism development and marketing blueprint for the period 2010..2025. When completed, the 15-year plan is expected to become the roadmap for national and regional tourism development. and the action-plan for various government agencies involved in tourism matters Page4 Project Document WISATA 4. :.., _ ' swiss~c.,t- ~t PROJECT RATIONALE 4.1. TOURJSif IN SOUTH EAST ASIA 'Mthin the circle of the 10 member countries of ASEAN, Indonesian tourism ranks 4th behind Malayeia, Thailand and Singapore in terms of total foreign tourist arrivals. And, In spita af a growth trend In foreign arrivals over time, Indonesia's market share amorcJ its ASEAN neighbours continues to slip. A 25% loss in ASEAN market share tom 2002 to 2006 reflects both Indonesia's specific problema affecting the tourism sector (political instability, Bali bombings, etc.), but more basically this declining share points to Indonesia's deciidedly less competitive approach to tourism marketing as compared to the well-oiled professional tourism promotion bodies in operation in Singapore, Kuala lumpur and Bangkok. The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2009, edited by the World Economic Forum, rankllndonetia in 81at position of 130 countnes, down from 80th in 2008 (2009 rankings: Singapore 10th; Malaysta 32nd; Thailand 39th). 4.2. TOURISM IN INDONESIA With over 17,600 islands, more than 350 ethnic groups and a geographical foot print stretdllng over 3 time zones- the country's national motto of ·ahineka Tunggallka• (Unity in diversity) hints at the wide ranging travel experience that awaits visitors to Indonesia. Home to well-developed, aged and complex societies, the Indonesian travel experience includes ancient monuments, rich culluras, culinary dlecovaries, natural and man-made wonders, and heritage traditions the equal of any leading wor1d tourism destfnatlon. Tourism Is lndonesia•s most important non-aillgaa source of foreign exdlange after timber and textiles. (Source: Department d Culture and TouriSm). Foreign viSitor arrivals to Indonesia in 2007 totalled 5,505,759. Each 'ViSitor is eatlmatec:l to have spent US$970.98 or US$107.70 per day during an average length of my of 9.02 days. This resulted in foreign exchange earnings of US$5.348 billion. The contribution of Travel and Tourism to the Gross Domestic Product is expected to be 7,2% in 2008, constituting 6% of total employment. TouriSm Is expected to continue to grow, ltimulating economic development and income. Tourism has the potential to aaate employment and income and to stimulate pro-poor impact in economically disadvantaged regions, if the respective concepts and sbategies foCUB on participatory proceues and the integration of the local population and inherent potentials for touriSm found within these regions. In terms of local tourism, only a very small percentage of Indonesians can afford to travel for recn~ational purposes, but in ablolute f~gures, the numbers are still remarkable taking into account the large population of Indonesia with around 240 Mia inhabitants. However, the domestic market for natura and culture tourism tn underdeveloped araaa in Eastem Indonesia ia stilllimttad since only a small percentage of weaHhy Indonesian is interested In auch activities. PageS ..... Project Document WISATA 5. _ swissc:,.rir.c; PROJECT APPROACH The propceed project is bulrt on following key piUara: 5.1. FACIUTAnNG PRO-POOR ECONOIIIC DEVELOPMENT The Swisacontact privata aactor development sb ategy acknowledges that sustainable economic growth can only be achieved by working towards mora effective and inclusive martcet systems for the target groupe. A detailed analysis of the oonstrain1B on why market syatems do not work for certain groups of the society aa well as the identification of opportunHias on how to make marl<et systems VW>rk better for thole not yet Included provides the base for developmert interventions. Market development is often seen in rather narrow terma; hOMver the Swisscontact approach alae addreaea the ccmplex constellation of backward and forward linkagea into many other areu of economic activity, but also into IQQety, culture and environment Any economic sector can only develop In parallel with wall functioning supporting marKets and conducive institutional arrangements and rules. The projeet foc:uses on developing more inclusive martcet ayatema in two ways: • by developing the potential for linking geographic areas, which have not yet or only parUy benefited from existing destinations to wall developed hubs; • by 'ntegrating local communities in the tourism value c;hain through creating business and job opportunities (within the value chain or within the supply chain): 5.2. UNKING LOCAL DES71NATIONS WI7H TOURISM HUBS Wdh 31% of all Indonesian foreign tourism arrivals coming to Bali, the island is widely considered aa the national tourism. With 1.98 million foreign tourists visiting Bali in 2008, the estimated number of Indonesian domestic visitors, based on domestic flight uplift, is put at approximately 2.3 million. This role of Bali as the •jewel in the crown• of Indonesian tourism is widely acknowledged. Air acceBB policies that facilitate landings by foreign air carriers to Bali, the istand'a role as a major domestic air hub and a •eali and Beyond• tourism promotion policy to ertice traveller11 to explore secondary domestic destination all reflect Bali's undisputed role as ,he• icon of lndoneeia'a tourism industry. Despite the fact that the national tourism policy has tried in the past for years to link other destinations with the tourtam hub Ball (Ball and beyond), the suCC818 has been limited so far. The main shortcoming of this policy was the fact, that no or only limited inveatmeniB want into the development of these potential areas outside Bali in order to enhance these areu to meet the standards of the customers ooming to Bali. Based on the positive experience in the first phase of WiSATA, the proposed projeet has the potential to develop the necesaary beat practice on how to link potential tourism destinations to existing tourism hubs. The lesaons leamed from the project will be ralavant for the Ministry of Tourism which is intantated to apply this knowledge for other locations. 5.3. PROifOnNG FLORES AS TARGET DESTINATION The tourism hub Bali 11¥0Uid offer the posaibtllty to link various local destinations 'Within a range of direct flights of around one hour: South Sulawaai with Tanah Toraja as cultural centre, Lombok as beach and diving destination, East Java with the Bromo National Park and Florae as a combination of divinglbead\lnature and culture tourism destination. The project will focus on Flores as target deetination for tht: following reasons: Atltlt'Maing poWify: Florea is among the economically leaat developed parta of Indonesia. The formal economy is small, with Govemment aervice a major focus for school Ieaver employment. A Jack of an industrial basa and raw material extracting activitiea, and the geographically marginalized position of the island are reasons for the SWisscontact Page6 Project Document WJSATA ~ :0 swiu, ~n.-..:.•:.l comparativeiy high level of poverty. The proportion of people living below the national poverty line is 30% c;ompared to a national average of 18%. The poverty trend ia also getting worse; since 1999, N1T has dropped from 21• to 2411 in the Human Poverty Index ranking of Indonesia's 30 provinces and from 24., to 2811 in the Human Development Index ranking. In tha education sector, NTT hal one of loweet junior secondary and primary net enrolment ratas, the highest ctaaa repetition rate in the country and one of the lowest literacy rates. In the health aector 46% of the population are without aCC8BI to clean water whlla 32% do not have accees to heaHh facilities. Pot.entllll foT Roru touriSm dfNelaplnent: Florea is a faaci'lating, mountainous and atriki~ly beautiful island. A chain of volcanoes stretches the length of Florea, creating complicated V-lhaped valleys and knife-edge ridges -terrain that was near impenetrable until recent yean. and that has separated the island into many distinct ethnic groups. Due to the diffia.alt topography and the lack of economically interesting resources the island waa economically isolated from the outside wor1d until 25 years ago. Missing industries and extracting enterpl'iles, on tht. other hand, have had the poeitive impact of a generally pristine and untouched nature env,ronmant. Tourism and agriculture are the only practicable economic development altemativea for the island. On the demand aide Florea ia attracting nature and culture interested international tourists from the following source market continents: Europe (67%), America (16%), Australia (9%), anciAsia (8%) (source: KNP atatlsttcs, average values 2007-2008}. The visitor profile reveals an average visitor aga of 38 years and a high educational level with 83% of visitora having a univen.ity degree (soun:e: WISATA visitor surveys). The stable aocio-political situation and the fact that Floras has so far never been targeted by terrorist attacks has lead to the perception that Flores is a save tourist destination. The Bali bombings in 2002 and 2005 have not adversely affected foreign visitOr numbera in the KNP. SWitzMMds fiJqHIIfiH Mil recognillon a competant development pa,., in Flotu: In the past, SOC has supported infrastructure development in Florea under its rural development program In Indonesia. Theae projects have gained high reputation within the communities in Flores. Since 2004, SWiaacontact is implementing projects in Florea, a Local Eoonomic Development project and the first phaae of the tourism promotion project WiSATA. Both prOjec1s are highly recognized among the communities and this good reputation providas a good starting point for the proposed project 5.4. FACILITATING EFFECTIVE DESTINAnON MANAGEMENT ORGANIZA7lONS Tourism is a rapidly evolving industry that haa become increasingly competitive in the global martwtplace. Wdh destinations now competing directly wtth othe111 around the world, it ia possible to uaert that tourism is a sector in a state of transition. For DM08, this transition means becoming a destination management organization instead of just a destination martceting organization. In thla regard, DMOs are becomit'll more prominent as 11deatination developars"' by acting as catalysts and facilitators for the realization of tourism developments. The starting point for Destination Management is the conviction that the tourism product offered can integrate dift'arant exper1enceslattracliona and a variety of servicea/proclucts from a locality into a vacation offer.

FOCUS ON PROMOnON OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM Sustainable tourism aims at positive social and environmental impacts, equity in the distribution of prolb to the involved actors and adequate valorisation of the natural. social and cultural reaourcas that form an integral part of the developed producta. Awarenea of sustainable tourism will be raised trough public seminars and media addrauing rlsk8 and opportunities of tourism development, baled on the sharing of experience by guest speakers from other Indonesian tourist destinations. Since Rores is a natura- and culture tourism destination, the project Interventions on tourist attraction promotion and development will focus on low environmental impact activitiea such as hiking, trekking, volcano climbing, aea kayaking, canyoning and caving etc, combined with the promotion of village based tourism income souroes. In all MSME development interventions environmental friendly solutions and fair employment conditions will be addressed. Details on environmental leau88 MJch as law enforcement lobbying, local regulations and environmentally friendly MSME solutions are described under chapter 6.7.2.

VALORISATION OF DMO DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE AND CAPACITY BUILDING TO THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND CULTURE Taking into account the untapped potential in tourtam development in 'ndonesiat the propoaed project has a high relevance in terms of replication for other local deatinations. Aa mentioned abovet already the tourism hub Bali alone could be linked with at least 4 to 5 other local destinations and other tourism destinations in Indonesia have the potential to be linked wlltl other hubs, e.g. deetinationa in Sumatra with Kuala Lumpur or Singapore or North SulaMIBi and Maluku lllanda with Singapore. On the occasion of a prnentatlon on the results of the first phaae of WISATA, the Miniatty of Tourism and Culture has immediately recognized 1he importance d the approach for the Mure development of tourism in Indonesia and has indicated strong interest and need for a capacity building component with the objective to enable the Ministry to promote the approach in other locations. 5. 7.

Labuan Bajo in the West and Maumere in the East are the two gateways for tourists, both are connected to Bali by daily direct flights. An eatlmated annual number of 3500 foreign visitors travel from either city to the other on a trip that nonnally takes 3-4 days. The laland•s eatimated 2 million people are divided into five, main linguistic and cultural groups. Politically the island is divided in 8 districts, theae are: Manggarai Barat.

Page 11 Project Document WISATA swiss~:)l'l.nc• PROJECT DESIGN AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES &. 8.1 .. PROJECT LOCAnON, BENEFICIARIES AND DURATION 6.1.1. PROJECT LOCATlON The project covers the island of Florea (see 4.7, fact sheet Flores Tol.lism), which is part of the Indonesian province of Eaat Nyu Tenggara (NTT). The main activities will focus on two local destination management organizations with the two entry points to Rores, the district West Manggarai with Labuan Bajo as capital and the district of Sikka with Maumere as capital. However, the project will not orient itself on ~itical borders, but will focus on the two unique selling propositions Komodo National Park with the famous dragons and Kellmutu National Park with the differently coloured volcano lakes. For the regional Aorea destination promotion, the project will focus on Ball aa the tourism gateway to Florea. 6.1.2. BENEFICIARIES Direct beneficiaries of the project are 5000 people working In the tourtam buatne8888 as direct beneficiaries. The tourism sector consists of a number of sub-sectors such as tour operators, hotel & restaurants, dive operators, guides, transportation providers. The large m~ority of these businesses are miao and small enterprieea. Direct beneficiariea are also kx:al Governments in the fNe districts of Roree aa well as the national Government rapreaented through the Ministry of Tourism and Culture. Indirect beneficiaries of the project are buainenea and households which ara linked to the direct beneficiaries either in the form of suppliers (e.g. farmers as providers of food stuff) or as banaf~eiariaB of transfer payments (remittances of employees in the tourism aector). 6.1.3. PROJECT DURATION A project duration of 48 month is planned for the implementation of the propDBEid adivities. Thla period ia regarded aa realistic to achieve sustainability of the destination management through the DMOs. Proposed project atarl ia July 1, 2009. 8.2.

PROJECT RATIONALE: POVERTY REDUCT10N The rationale of the project i8 to contribute to poverty reduction in one af the poorest regions in Indonesia. However, the proiect will not specifically work with the poorest groupe of the society. but it is expected that job aeatlon and income generation Will have an indirect impact on poorer groupe of the society, especially through remittance payments from employment aeated in the tourism sector. A public value assessment of the University St. Galien after the end of the frat phase of the WiSATA project has shown that employees send an important part of their eamed income back to their families in the villages. Baaed on the expected outcome for Jobs created it Ia expected that at least 3500 houaehokJs will benefit from additional income from remittances from the tourism aector. 8.4. PROJECT GOAL: INCOME GENERATION AND JOB CREATION The development goal of the project is to au.te income and job opportunities in the tourism sector in Florea. Income Will be measured baaed on average dairy visitor spending and average length of stay. Job aeation will be measured within the direct tourism value chain (hotel and restaurants, tour operatcn, dive operators, guides, transportation), while the indirect job creation through backward and forward linkages to the tourism value chain (supply, construCtiOn, other service industry) will be estimated onJy. In ita first phase, the project WiSATA measured the generation of 266 jobs in the tourism Industry in West Manggarai, baaed on an increase of tourist arrivals of 91%. The impact on goal level will be measured baled on the following indicators: lndif:lltor lncreaae in total tourism sector incomes T81fM • Increase by 50% at project end compared to baseline Employment growth in tourism sector • Employment growth in tourism aector enterpriles enterprises by 750 full-time jobs at project end compared to baseline auppolted Percentage af touriam •80% of supported stakeholders with enterpriaea with positive peaption on positive peRieption on income change and income char-Ge fUture businees pros~at project end. 6.5. PROJECT OUTCOME: CO.PEnnVENESS OF THE TOURISJf DESnNATION FLORES The outcome or purpose of the projec1 is the increased competitiveness of the destination Floras. Competitiveness is detennined by a broad number of factora. From the demand perspective, the competitiveness of a destination il defined by the quality of a set of producta, aervices, natural and artificial attractions able to draw tourist to a specific place. Destination management plays a key role in addressing the many and sometimes conflicting laauea that arise in contemporary touriam. Destinations present complex challenges for management and development in that thay must serve a range of needs of tourists and tourism-related bLainesses aa well as the realdent community. locaJ busineaaea and industries. Professional management of the destination ia the key to securing a a...tainable flow of tourists; the quality of the services and attractions defines the ovvrall c...tomer satisfaction which impacta tourist's length of stay and spending per day. Number of customers, length of atay and spending per day on the ather side defines the potential for income generation and Job creation within tha destination.

OUTPUTS The following chapters provide a short overvieW on the main intervention linea of the project The preeentation follows the flow of the LFA Matrix. 6.6.1. OUTPUT 1: EFFECTIVE DESnNATION MANAGEMENT OF WEST FLORES ESTABLISHED The starting point of the West-Floras DMO development builds on the result& of the firat phase of the WiSATA project The West Florw Tourism Forum has been established in August 2008, and has increaaed the communication among all sector Btakeholdera and a work plan for future joint adiona has been wort<ed out. The preparation phase for the Mtablishment of the DMO ia expected to take 7-9 month. Baaed on the assessment result the options for the legal aet-up wilt be further analysed. In parallel the final business plan will be developed. After the election of a provisional management board and designation of commissions to elaborate operational plane and the constitutive statutes of the DMO a transitory agreement shall regulate the rights and obligations for the funding of DMO interventions by the project. Two years of consolidation support will be needed before the DMO can be fully handed over and work independently. The main activity groupe and key performance indlcatora are: Activ'lty GroUP~~ Supporting the development of publications, visitor information and other productalservicea as source of inoome Identification of skills training· delivet'y initiatives and supporting towiam training providers Supporting the institutionalization and SWiucontact lndlc.tor. • AI least • publications (bookalbooklelal maps) sold to rvtallei'Bfvlaitors • At least 2 other product& or sarvices sold in the market • Increased level of skilla and quality of training providers shown in higher viaitOI' satiafaction and positive perception of employeratmanaaera • DMO institutionalized Page 14 c • Project Document WISATA swiaa~o.~~n;:~ conaolidation of the West Flores DMO Supporting DMO destination development Interventions during DMO at.wt-up phase through an activity fund Facilitating product development and access to market far rural tourism products/services • Financial auatainability according to business plan targets achieved • At least 8 DMO interventions per yaar addressing key DMO functions implemented • At least 3 craMoodatuff producer groups or village accommodation providera increase Incomes through tourism 6.6.2. OUTPUT 2: EFFECTIVE DESTINATION MANAGEMENT OF EAST FLORES INITlATED AND ESTABLISHED MaLmere, the district capital of Sikka offers the aecond entry point for tourist coming to Flores. East Flores iB in terms of tourian leaa developed compared to West Manggarai with Komodo National Park as the main attraction. Nevertheless, East Flores has a good potential for tourism development, building on the Kelimutu National Park, but more time 'Will be needed to achieve tangible progress compared to Wast Mar-Ggarai. In emerging local destinations such as East Flores the need for coordination is even more urgent since the individual tourism service providera started as ai~le fighters in a difficult busineaa environment. Existing, but non functioning sector BMOs aa well aa govemment tourism authorities lacking experience in the tourism value chain normally fail to develop strategies and adivities leading to tangible improvementa. Baaed on such starti~ conditions the ground needs to be prepared with a bottom-up approach based on inteJVentions craating tangible benefit& for individual sub-sector MSMEs to realize the advantage~ of coordination and jotnt activities. This then fonna the starting point to either revitalize the BMOs or to fonn new asaociations. Seminara on tourism development, skills trainings and interventio~W to increase the government awareness on touriSm sector potential and corwtrainta prepare the ground to start a govemment tourism planning process with involvement of the private sector. The development of new tourism atbactions and destination promotion tools such as website, brochures, post cards and brand name again raises the awareness of all involved stakeholders on the need of <iOOI'dinated destination deVelopment activities behind the aphere of their day-to-day business. Once visitor numbers increase, existing or new MSMEa become more and more ready to Improve facilities and service quality. Raising the game usually takes place as succassful MSME are inspiring athens for improvements. A well timed and balanced set of interventions addressing supply and demand acts as catalyst for a positive mafi(et change. Baaed on the West Flores experience it can be expected that two years concentrated inputs are needed before the local tourism stakeholders are prepared for the formation of a DMO. At least 2 more years d project support will be required before the DMO can be fully handed over and wortc independently.

OUTPUT 3: EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF FLORES DESTINATION While the tow local DMOa in West and East Florea will have a stronger focus on internal destination development functio.,., the regional OMO with the main task to promote Floraa as a destination will have a dear focus on external marketing functions. So far, Aores ill not promoted as a destination. Promotion is only focusing on the twa main attractions, Komodo National Park in West Flores and Kalimutu Volcano National Park in East Florea. Even so the headl of the eight districts in Flores have in the past several times discussed a joint branding of Flores, the regional DMO will face the challenge to promote inter-district cooperation against local patrtotlem. Taking Into account that external marketing will be one of the main tasks of the regional DMO, the fact of long travel distancea within Florea (cmssing the island from West to East takes at least 24 ttoura) as well as the risk of jealousy among the districts if the regional DMO is located in one of the districts. the project recommends to locate the regional DMO in Bali. Bali as the tourism hub with all major travel operators represented provides the ideal location for extemal marketing functions of a DMO. For the future, the regional DMO could become partner for the SIPPO tcuriam program. The fact the Bali is the home of a farge Florea diaspora, many of them working in the tourtam I8Cior, partJy even aa aucoaalful entrapraneura. Many of them are committed to develop their home Island which providae a good starting point for identifying the rGht people for establishing an effective regional Florea DMO in Bali. Furthermore the succa18ful Floranese diallpora are highly respected in Flores and have therefore the beat potential to boost inter-district cooperation and finally the arlocation af government Swiacontact Page16 - :"""" PJ'Olect Document WISATA swise~·J·~ ~; L!.; funding for the Flores DMO. In addition the Bali baaed Florea DMO playa an inportant role in the proviaion of supporting services for the lac:al DMOa. The introduction of the regional DMO will follow stepwise. For the first two yeans, the regional DMO will be located in the projeGt office, aa the necessary preparation work will at least take one year. During this flrat year, socialization, finding an agreement for the legal aet-up and the framework for participation of the 5 district& will be the main tasks. The second year 'Mil focus on the establishment of the businesa plan, the training of the local professionals as wall as the development of products and aervlcea.

OUTPUT 4: EXPERIENCE OF LOCAUREGIONAL DMO APPROACH VALORISED AND DISSEMINATED Relevance of the DMO approach: The timing for the proposed prnjed fits well in the changing ragulatOIY environment of tourism policy in tndoneeia. After decades of centralized tourism poNcy in lndoneaia, the local autonomy has changed the policy environment and shifted the responsibility for JocaUregional tourism promotion to the districts. The new tourism law, which was approved in January 2009 by the president, introduces relevant changes compared to the old law: SwiRcontact Page 17 ~ 8WIS£~C t~C~[ • • • • • • It reflects the decentralizaUon law and defines tourism promotion cJear1y as shared responsibility beh·.~een 1he national, provincial and local Governments (Article 8, 9); It give& the right to national, provincial and local Govemments to establish 1J11V* and Independent touriam promotion agencies, where kay tourism stakeholde" haw to ba repreaentad (Article 43) and defines the organisational set-up cl theee private agencies (ArticJe 45); It provides the possibility for public funding of the private tourism promotion agencies (Article 49); It provides the legal baae for the establishment of a tourism federation, combining representative$ of all industry aaaociations and wider stakeholders (Artlda 50) It provides the legal bass for establishing tourism industry ltandarda (Paragraph XII) It defines the financing of the to~sm sector as joint mponsibility between Government, private sector and civll eociety and gives the authority to local Governments to allocate a part of the income generated from tourism specifically for conservation of environment and culture (Paragraph 13); OVerall the new tourism law provides a promising legal baae for the implemerUtion of tourism destination management on national, regional and local level. In response to the new law, the Department of Tourism and Culture is highly interested in receiving technical aasiatanca for capacity building in developing a destination management approach far Indonesia. The Directorate ia Interested to establish a working group fOr tourism destination management, which \NOUid become the direct counterpart for the project and will assist the working group in • further developing the DMO approach, baaed on the Indonesian requirements in form of policy inputs.

Examples for interventions where gender aapeciB will be integrated are: • BMO strengthening through adequate representation of women in BMOs and through actively addreeaing gender iaauee in BMO activities: • Skill training facilitation: addressing women specifically in skill trainings, ewntually by designing specifiC training courses for women and through acheduling of training actiVities which allow a participation of women; • Gender-epecif'IC labour iuues: the tourism sector Ia characterized by a high proportion of women employaas, which makes it mandatory to addreaa gender apeclftc laauee in aector...pec;ific interventions, e.g. in the Hotel and Restaurant sector. • Adequate representation of women in the local tourism forums in order to strengthen the voice of women in policy diakJgue: 8.7.2. ENVIRONMENT Environment iBSues play an important role in the promotion of austainabte tourtam. The project will address theae isaues through: • Integrating aspects of carrying capacity and environment protection in local tourism policies; • lobbying for law enforcement in environment iasues and inclusion of additional requirements in tourism aector regulations e.g. in the field of construction, waste management, sanitation, water use and transportation; • Creating awaraneas trough disaemlnatlonltrainings of best practise examples among tourism buainauaa on environment issues, e.g. for diving (dive operator code of c;onduct), hotel and restaurants (energy efficiency. water conservation, rain water use, gray water use, waste water treatment, campoeting etc.) guides (code of conduct on waste collection, regulation on ftres In foreat areas etc); tourist car drivers (eco-driving). 8.7.3. GOVERNANCE The project wHI doaely work together with five loc;al Govemments in Florea. This opens the opportunity to bring in govemance i11ues such • public; priVata dialogue, transparency and accountability. Tha project wiJI elaborate jointly wHh the local Governments tourism development strategies. This provides the chance to provide capacity bui~ing to the local Governments in public private dialogue, whic:h is regarded as a cornerstone for Improved transparency and accountability. 8.7.4. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY l88uea of corporate social responsibility are addresaed in all Swiaacontact MSME projects as crou-cutting topic. Even 10 the project does not have direc;t influence on management policies of the busineues involved in the project, issues of c:orporate social responsibility are addressed in discussions with BMOa and individual enterpr1aea. This dlacuaaion swtsscontact Page 19 Project Document VVISATA ~ swiSSC:'II' :'.C.. include topice such as wor1dng conditions, working contracts, m1n1mum wages, compliance with national social standards as well as environment standards. Positive experience has been made in Welt Florea with the introduction of hotel service charges in 4 hotels. 7. PROJECT MANAGEMENT, MONITORING AND EVALUATION 7.1. MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS 7.1.1.

PROJECT MONITORING SWiaacontact has developed a comprehensive monitoring approach for all projecta. Monitoring starts with project design. All interventions are based on sector reports which provide the baseline for all interventions. Sector reports include an analyaia of the present situation, the key opportunities and constraints, a vision about the future situation of the sector aa wull as the key performance indicators. r:cr the establishment of U~tt ~ur reports, baleline atudiea will be conducted in all locations. Based on the sector reporta, each intervention II outlined In an intervention design report which includes the expected result chain of the intervention and the key indicatora for measuring change, baaed on the LFA mat.rix. Projed progi"'HHs for each intervention is reported tn half-yearly updated intervention reports which provide the input towards the progress reporting to the funding SwisBCOntact Page22 Project Document WISATA - ':..... .... swise~~n~;-:t agency. At the end of each intervention, outcomes and impact is documented in intervention end reporbl. All Swlascontact ataff8 are continuously trained in the application of thla monitoring system and the SWlascontact Country Office is in Ciharge for the quality control and the support in implementing the monitoring system. Progress reporting is either based on SWisacontact internal standards or follows the standards of the funding agency. 7.2.2. PROJECT EVALUATION External project evaluation ia Integrative part of the progreaa monitoring and is mutuaJiy agreed on between SWiacontact and the funding agency. For the proposed project a mid-term external evaluation attar 24 month and an end of proJect external evaluation is proposed. External evaluators are assigned basad on mutual agreement between the funding agency and SwiSICOntBGt. 7.3. •PI.EIIENTA nON SCHEDULE ·MILESTONES A detailed implementation schedule will be developed after the validation mission.

SUSTAINABILITY Achieving sustainability for envisaged changea iB a key concern in all SWiaacontact projects. Securing auatainabiJity cl intervantiona starta from project design. Key to austainabilily iB the design of systemic interventions, baaed on in depth understanding of the project environment. A sound deaign of interventions which considers sustainability from the beginning is therefore given highest priority. Among the varioua dimensiona of suatainability, the proposed project is apeclfically focusing on institutional and financial sustainability of the planned DMOs, as they are the key towards austainable impact of the project. 1.1. INSnTUTIONAL SUSTAJNABIU1Y Key succeaa factors towards institutional sustainability are institutional eat-up in terms d legal entity. dear ownership, and quality of human reaourcea Within the inltitution, deflned standards for internal proceaaes as well as accountability and transparency in management The establishment of new instituUons under a project always bears the risk of failll'e. However, Swisscontad has Wide axpertenca in developing such organizations which allowa applying the lessons learned from aucceuas and failures over tha put years. The key laslonl leamed for 818uring inatilutional auatainability are: • Clarity on the Institutional mission which is lhared by both parties, the project and the local partner; • Aseuring local ownerahip from the beginning as well as anchoring of the new institution within the local environment; • Careful aaeessment of the pros and cons of alternative legal aet-ups; • Provide a sufficient timeframe for the institutions to develop; • Provide on the job training for capacity buildif1l rather than theoretical training; • Support the institution in establishing dear standards in tarma of planning, decision taking, quality control and financial procedures, tranaparancy, etc. The pmjact will apply a step-by-step approach towaroa the institutional independency of the DMOa. In a first phaee, the DMOs will be located within the project officea. During this time the project staff 'Nill develop together with the future DMO the interventions, product and aervic:ea. This proceas will be an on-the-job training which witl maka the DMO familiar with the proceues of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Products and 18rviCAR developed during this time will become a aourcn l)ffut11re income. In parallel, the DMO will be established legally and a businesa plan will be developed with the stakeholdera. This first phase will take between one two years, depending on the competencies at starting level. starting with the second phaae, tha DMO will have its own pramiaes and is expected to work along the buaineas plan. The role of tha project is to swtsaccntact Page25 Prcject IJocument WISATA ..:,.:, swiss:;c:~t::.:;t coach the DMO and at the same time hand over mora and more reeponaibility to the DMO. Thia st~wiae handing over proceu allows sufftclent time to build up the hunan resourcea within the DMO and to establish the internal standards and proceeaes which will provide the base for future inatitLitional suit& inability. 8.2. FINANCIAL SUSTAINABIU1Y Institutional austainabilily needs to be backed-up with financial auatainabUity in order to ensure the functionality of the DMOa in future. DMOs have basically three options for fina~ : a) membership feea; b) income from Hrvlces and products and c) public financing and d) donations. Swiaacontact prcpoaes for the OMOa in Indonesia a joint financing from all four potential and reeourcea. A detailed busineas plan will be developed with the stakeholders and the management duriJ"G the project. For ajmulation, Swiascontact will develop a model bu1ineae plan for a local DMO, whid'l will ~erve as a model businea plan, baaed on the experience gained In the first year of the project. The following list provides a firat overview and brainstorming on the potantial financing loutcel. •J Direct income ft1Jm product:s lltrd UIVIr:u The following list under1inea that there is a conaiderable potential for generation of inccme from producta and l8fVIcea: (example for DMO In Weet Manggarai): • Handbook on diving In Komodo National Park (potential contributors: Labuan Bajo dive operator aaeociatian) • Booklet on West Florea history, people and culture (potential contrtbutors: Text: Anthropology student with f•ld work experience In West Florea e.g. given University Bern ia very active in Florea, picturee from local photographer) • Authentic West Florea cuiajne (conlributor: Heinz von Holzen and Ida Bagua, Bali baaed apeciali8ts on authentic lndoneaian cuisine} • Guidebook on Flores Volcano cfimbing and trekking (diverae potential contributors, e.g. tour guidea, pictures by local photographer) • Authentic East Florea cuisine (oontrmutor: Heinz von Holzen and Ida Dagus, Bali baaed speciajiats on authentic Indonesian cu-.ne) • Birding West Flores booklet (contributor: Buruf"G lndoneeia NGO active in endemic bird project in West Florea) • Flores tourllm map, East Flores tourism map (contributor. Dtgital bale map from government. satellite pictures NASA, tourist information and GPS tracks from field trip training activities with local tour guides • Labuan Bajo city map (development with Wflll Florea Hotel Association, digital bale map from government) • Picture postcard• (selected pictures from project databaae) • other sell.., products such as uniquely packed agricultural productl (e.g. coffee, ginger, and vanilla), handicrafts and ather souvenn. A careful effort-benefil analysis will be needed lo find out whether this might be profitable. b) Memberahlp few Membership fees in BMOa are unfortunately not yet very common yet in Indonesia, even in large BMOI. It is therefore not advisable to count too much on financing through membership fees. However, If the DMO ehould be in the position to develop apedfJC buliness eervices for membera. income from sud'laervice feel might be r. ·~stic. c) PubUc funding Public funding can happen either through direct aubaidy from the Gcwemment or through local taxes where the DMO becomes the beneficiary. The mandatory hotel and restaurant tax for example goee in certain diltrictl in Indonesia back to the association as income. Page26 ~ Project Document WISATA swiat::~n(&~{ Such achemes could be developed with local Govemments for the benefit of the local DMO. d) Donations: Private sector fund raising- The Bali based Florea DMO might be able to get some funding from CSR sources of hotel chains~ wholesalers or other companies under their CSR programs. Here again the DMO needs to astabr•h the net\VOrb and proactively make proposals. 9.
