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.

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

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.

THE WIDER PROJECT ENVIRONMENT
3.1. 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

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

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

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

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. The destination is established aa a clearty definable
geographic locale in the mind of the clientl, the source market Destination Management
Organization• (DMOs) are the central entity, which manages and coordinate the needs of
the tourist, the tourfat-related businesses and the resktunt community. The DMO hae a
cora function in bridging the expectations of both the supplier and the customer through
facilitati~ the demands d the traveller against the product o1ferings and capabilities of
the local tourism product In this regard DMOa play an important role as MDestination
Develope111" by acting as catalyst& and facilitators for the realization of tourism
development. DMOa can be located on different destination level15:

5.5. 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.

5.8. 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.

Map of Floru (souroe Bakosurtanal)
Flores ia a fascinating, mountainous and strikingly beautiful .ialand. A chain af volcanoes
stretches the length of the 450 km long but narrow island, creating complicated V'"Bhaped
valleys and knife-edge ridges - terrain that was near impenetrable until recent years and
that has separated the island into many distinct ethnic groups.
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. Manggarai,
Manggarai Timur, Nagekeo, Ngada, Ende, Sika. Florea Timur.

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.

4) Increased income results in improved living condHions directly for busineaa owners and
employees as well as Indirectly through remittance& to the wider family.
8.3. 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:

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. Improved

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:

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.

8.6.3. 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

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. A handover to
the local management is planned after year three and financial viability is expected for
year four.

8.8.4. 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:

It reflects the decentralizaUon law and defines tourism promotion cJear1y as shared

It give& the right to national, provincial and local Govemments to establish 1J11V*

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

CROSS CU'mNG ISSUES
Tha following aoss-cutting iBBues are part of the project design and Will get specific
attention during the dasign and implementation of aU project interventions:
6.7.1. GENDER
Even so the projed design does nat addrau gender IIIUBI in a specific output, the
project will addresa the issue in an appropriate way in all relevant interwntiona. 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

7.2. PROJECT IIONrrORING AND EVALUATION
7.2.1. 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

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

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

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.
