LOMBOK ISLAND INDONESIA
Breaking News....!
Rinjani National Park
plan to close for all trekking activities from January 25 till March
30, 2010 due to raining season and other bad weather in Lombok
Rinjani Up Date News:
The Rinjani Trek from Senaru is allowed
to the crater rim only while Sembalun Lawang is allowed to trek up
to the Summit of Gunung Rinjani based on the letter from Vulcanology
dated 8 September. The trek down to the lake is still closed due to
the eruption of the volcano Gunung Baru. These parts of the trek
will remain closed until the Department of Vulcanology recommends
that the whole trek is again safe for visitors.
Advisory Warning For Tourists
Recently tourists have purchased trekking packages from a false
office in Padang Bai, Bali claiming to represent the Rinjani Trek
Management Board (RTMB). Please note that RTMB has only one main
office located at the Lombok Raya Hotel in Mataram with
representative offices at the Rinjani Trek Center in Senaru and
Rinjani Information Center in Sembalun, all located on the island of
Lombok. Any other locations claiming to represent RTMB are
fraudulent and should be avoided. If you have any questions, Contact
Us to submit an enquiry.
The Concepts of
the Rinjani Trek Management Board
The Rinjani Trek is managed by a unique partnership of National
Park, tourism industry and the local community. Activities focus in
the Community - run cooperatives at Rinjani Trek Centre ( RTC ) in
Senaru and the Rinjani Information Centre ( RIC ) in Sembalun Lawang.
Under the guidance of the Rinjani Trek Management Board ( RTMB ),
each are run by a stakeholders' committee who look after roster
systems for guides and porters, village tours, trek trail
maintenance, and handicraft sales. Revenue from tourism activities
and entry fees is used for conservation, training and management of
the Rinjani Trek, thus ensuring sustainability.
Conceptually, the project started with three stakeholder circles
labeled "Park Management", "Community Development" and "Tourism".
Whit Project assistance, the Park set out to engage with the
stakeholder groups in each of the circles, independently at first
and then, as the groups got used to deal with each other,
increasingly together. This approach recognized that it takes time
for the multi-skilled "cross-over" people that ecotourism requires
(people who can operate in between the circles) to emerge.
