Question:
1) Bagaimanakah cara mengembangkan daerah wisata saat ini dengan keadaan indonesia yang sekarang ini selalu mengalami bencana alam seperti banjir dan longsor di beberapa daerah

Answer: 

Tourism is “all temporary visits to another region (domestic) or country (international) lasting more than 24 hours.”  This includes visits for holidays, sport, education religion, business and visits to family and friends.

A natural disaster is “a natural event with catastrophic consequences for living things in the vicinity.” It can affect tourism for obvious reasons as it destroys the natural environment and the things which the industry relies on.

Creation of a Tourism Destination Area must be a community-driven process fueled by local organizations, leaders and people who want to build on what they have and make it better. Through strategic tourism development, communities can build towards increased visitor numbers and revenue. 
 It has the following objectives: (i) increase the operational capacity of local communities in tourism destinations to respond in emergencies caused by natural disasters; (ii) support the adaptation efforts of these communities to climate change; and (iii) reduce the impacts of natural disasters to local communities in tourism destinations.

To develop a regional tour in a state of experienced natural disasters, perhaps one must:
  - Determine the hazards you could face: consider hazardous materials spills, plane crashes, train derailments, i.e. those hazards that may not be "natural". Local emergency managers can help you determine the risks in your area.
  - After you have identified the hazards, write a plan: Make your plan based on the hazards, ex. Tsunami and flash flood.
  - Get three ways to get warnings. Sirens are out-of-door warnings only. Get text alerts on your cell phone and email on your computer. Have a battery powered AM/FM radio with extra batteries.

It states that the sustainability of tourism destinations depends partly on their ability to adapt planning and management practices to the impacts of climate change and also to increase their ability to effectively manage natural disasters; and that it is the degree to which people are prepared for disasters that determines how vulnerable or resilient their community will be.


Question:
2) Apa tujuan dari perluasan daerah tujuan wisata?

Answer: 

Visitors want to explore Tourism Destination Areas that deliver 'must-see' attractions, high-quality amenities and memorable experiences. Areas that achieve those goals can generate significant traffic and revenue growth for their community, but only by working together and building on existing infrastructure can communities create an exceptional tourist destination area.
Tourism is an important part of the local economy in many developing countries.
Tourism is also an important part of countries’ economy and in less economically developed countries such as those affected by the tsunami; the local economy greatly relies upon the industry’s services for the livelihood of its population.
The governments and tourism industry associations in the affected countries, as well as the
Individual businesses, worked quickly to encourage people to visit – pointing out that the
Tourism industry is essential to the livelihoods of large parts of the population in Indonesia
If Indonesia understands how to appeal to the tourist then new jobs will be generated for those who live here.
Improvement of tourist attractions consists of safety, cleanliness, orderliness, comfort, beauty, hospitality, and enchanting memories.

Question:
3) Taman Nasional Gunung Salak adalah salah satu suaka di Indonesia, sama seperti Taman Nasional Gunung Gede-Pangrango Cibodas Jawa Barat, tetapi kebanyakan orang lebih memilih Taman Nasional Gunung Gede-Pangrango Cibodas.

Gede Pangrango is one of the wettest part of Java with a mean annual rainfall between 3,000 and 4,000 mm. Its unique characteristics have made it a natural laboratory for researchers since long before this time.
This National Park represents a distinct diversity of ecosystems: a sub-montane ecosystem (characterized by many large, tall trees like jamuju (Dacrycarpus imbricatus) and puspa (Schima wallichii), a montane ecosystem, a sub-alpine ecosystem (characterized by grassy meadows of Isachne pangerangensis, edelweiss flower (Anaphalis javanica), violet (Viola pilosa), and sentigi (Vaccinium varingiaefolium)), a lake ecosystem, a marshland ecosystem, and a savanna ecosystem.
Gunung Gede-Pangrango is inhabited by 251 of the 450 bird species found in Java. Among these are endangered species like the Javan Hawk-eagle and the Javan Scops Owl.

Curug Seribu is the largest waterfall in Halimun-Salak National Park, Bogor Regency. However, the roads to it are the toughest and most rugged, and better not go there unless you enjoy a challenging physical journey and truly love nature in its original form. Branch road leading to the parking lot alone is so steep; drivers must drive with more caution. The waterfall is located 500 meter from the parking area with an extremely bad road conditions. It takes only half an hour to reach the waterfall.
Curug Seribu waterfall is on the part of the height of the cliff that leads to the base of the waterfall. The scenery along the way to the waterfall was very natural and beautiful.  It is better not to carry a fairly heavy camera bag. Carrying an umbrella for just in case it rains, and also as a friend in the course of the rather long and lonely at this waterfall.
Curug Seribu has the largest waterfall fine grains of water to spread in all directions, and can make people wet in a radius of 30 meters in just a few minutes. Pool formed at the base of waterfall visible in the picture above. It was the end of the dry season, so the water flow can be two to three times as much at the peak of the rainy season, and would be very dangerous to be on the river when there is heavy rain.
Never bathe in the waterfall thousand, very dangerous, because a very strong whirlpools.
  Salak Mountain National Park:

Located in West Java, Gunung Halimun - Salak, Sundanese for 'The Mountains of the Mist', contains some of Indonesia's largest remaining lowland and montane forest. With an approximately 40,000 hectares, Gunung Halimun - Salak National Park represent the ecosystem types of lowland rain forest, sub montane forest. The area has been a nature reserve since the 1930's; therefore in 1992 the Government changed its status to a National Park.

There are various routes on the mountain range and despite being forested and generally lacking in views there is a great deal of variety to be found on its slopes – craters, wildlife, plants and numerous mountain peaks.

Permits: Available at most of the entrance points.

Serious access issues remain for Salak 2 despite it having been a common hiking route for decades before the trail was closed in 1999.
   
Disadvantages:

Question:
5) Bagaimana peran masyarakat dan pemda setempat dalam mengembangkan daerah Taman Nasional Gunung Salak untuk kedepannya?
Answer:
 
Role of communities:
The right of public access gives people the right to experience natural environments without necessarily visiting protected areas. Because of the populated areas, the level of land development and degradation is restricted, allowing people to enjoy comparatively unspoiled nature. Also, the inclusion of local communities has received specific emphasis and the need for protected area management to have an ‘outward focus.’
 Communities living in or near the protected area, visitors and other users of parks will feel a far greater commitment to park management objectives and practices if they have the opportunity to be involved in determining those ends and means gives a sense of ‘ownership.’
Communities give greater support for the protection of the area. The success of a plan will depend on public and political support. It is essential to maintain regular communication with the public on decisions that affect them, and on the protection and use of the protected area.
Greater public involvement in decision-making, helping people to be aware of [and to feel they can influence] changes in management direction.
Role of local Government:
-  Provide a basis for the efforts of the national park movement over the decades that follow.
- To protect, and allow access to the countryside, for the benefit of the nation.
- Sets up a committee to prepare for National Park legislation.
- Government passes an Act of Parliament to establish National Parks to preserve and enhance their natural beauty and provide recreational opportunities for the public.
