Studi Fenomenologi: Harmonisasi Paradoks Wisata Rakyat Sebagai Akselerator Pengentasan Kemiskinan Di Bali
This study aims to (1) know the development of popular tourism industry in Bali; (2) know Bali's poverty alleviation program and its constraints; and (3) know the contribution of tourism in poverty alleviation. The research was done through observation data collection technique and literature study, by using populist qualitative tourism analysis. Based on the results of research and literature study, it can be concluded that the Government's poverty alleviation program is currently not very effective with the main focus of material assistance, whereas the most crucial is education and learning so that they can save themselves to get out of the poverty cycle. This is then the main reason for the emergence of the concept of populist tourism by focusing on how society itself becomes the subject of tourism. The basic foothold is that local people who are better informed of their area and through popular tourism can earn a living and reduce the leakage of funds, as well as their initiatives to further preserve the environmental and cultural conditions that are important assets of tourism. Keywords: tourism, poverty alleviation, paradox, and accelerator
