"The people of North Sulawesi really lucky, a lot of places (tourism) is beautiful. If you are in Manado, I think I do not want to go home, "said U.S. Ambassador Cameron Hume on Gardenia Country, Tomohon, in May last year.

In a landscape of national tourism, North Sulawesi (Sulawesi) is one of the leading tourist destinations in Indonesia. A total of 503 natural attractions, cultural, and culinary spread over 15 districts / cities.

Many people admire the natural advantage in the northernmost province of Indonesia, including Cameron Hume. In fact, he felt less satisfied with the two visits and explore new dive spot in the region Siladen, Mantehage, and Naen in the cluster island of Manado Tua and Bunaken. Three points was no less beautiful dive with the Bunaken Marine Park which had already famous.

After the dive, Hume enjoy climbing locations Mahawu Volcano 1311 meters altitude in Tomohon which has very beautiful crater lakes, such as Mount Bromo, East Java. Tomohon still has a crater lake of Gunung Api Lokon (1580 meters) which supposedly is more exotic.

From downtown, visitors can see the beauty of Mount Lokon and flanking Mahawu Tomohon. Sure would be more beautiful scenery if it rises to Mount Inspiration. Standing there, the view out of the mountain lets you see the beauty of Mount Lokon. The mountain is elongated with a peak in the south. To the north loomed partner, Mount Mahawu.

Between them lay a saddle-shaped ridge along approximately 2 kilometers. In the saddle that is now taking place eruptions. There Crater ejects ash and rocks that lasted almost without interruption.

Volcano region Mahawu even now can be reached by car. Mayor Tomohon Jefferson Rumajar build roads to get there. In addition, it also built a path through the plantation of vegetables people.

Still in Tomohon, visitors or tourists can go to the Village Langsot which is about 3 kilometers from the city center. In that place, can be seen relics of the Minahasa people waruga grave stone. Grave stone relics of the 14th century and the 15's position stands wearing a head covering.

Stored in the cemetery of ancient objects, such as plates and saber. Unfortunately, tourism is not preserved, even ancient objects stolen a lot of people. "Until the closing waruga also taken of people," said Refly Santili, Tomohon residents.

No less interesting culinary tour with a variety of fish foods and traditional foods combined with a number of international food. In Tomohon, every year Gardenia Food Festival which was held specifically to race with a taste of traditional food, national, and international. The festival was initiated by the Gardenia Resort inviting culinary experts from Jakarta.

Jefferson Rumajar revealed, the Government Tomohon is continue to promote tourism in Tomohon. Geographically, Tomohon does have its own advantages.

For example, the city's tourist interest. Diversity of interest into advantages for the tourism sector to boost the local economy. Flower production continues to increase because many people are planting flowers. As an illustration, according to Jefferson, in 2003, flower production, which is kind of cut flowers, has just reached 2 million stalks. However, in 2009, production reached 112 million flower stems.

Interest generated at this time, according to Jefferson, is more widely marketed in North Sulawesi. However, in 2013, targeted, interest produced can be exported to Singapore.

Tomohon city with a population of 100,000 people and is suitable for cool temperate flowering plants. Therefore, a number of festivals provide attraction for local and foreign tourists.

For business travel, the more bergeliat Tomohon after native son, Ronald Korompis, building locations "Hill of Prayer" in Kakaskasen area of ​​70 acres. The location is spacious with beautiful views into the arena of outbound for the community.

From a number of city tourism in the province of Nyiur Waving, Tomohon tourism excellence is expressed in many natural attractions. In addition to the two volcanoes, Tomohon also still have a lake whose waters Linow colorful. "After Bunaken, City (Tomohon) worth sold," said Anton Supit, an economist in Jakarta.

North Sulawesi Tourism promises from time to time. From the sea, the beach, to the mountain can be seen beautiful scenery with a friendly culture and open society.

Flammable still keep Lembeh Strait Marine Park (the city of Bitung), which became known world of international tourism as a marriage where the whales are specific. Lembeh Strait is also in demand as galaknya system of ocean currents there.

National Geographic magazine in 2005 could make a special report about the uniqueness of the underwater Lembeh Strait. In fact, a number of NGOs engaged in world-class environmental claims Lembeh Strait region as an area that must be conserved and protected from the hands of ignorant greed.

In addition, North Sulawesi Volcanoes also still save space located under the sea in the District Sitaro. In Volcano Room, German and French divers as if oblivious to the hustle of the world when they dive, close to the crater that lies beneath the sea.

Natural wealth of the sea and the maritime coast of North Sulawesi are still equipped with Porodisa in waters Lirung, Talaud Islands. Talaud people call the beach as a beach Porodisa.

Naming Porodisa started by Portuguese sailors when they first approached Lirung waters. At that time, they found a very beautiful natural scenery. Until now, Porodisa designation still used every citizen Talaud. In District Talaud, the party held each May Mane'e culture, fishing activities using the yellow coconut.

In 2009, North Sulawesi tourism leap from the figure recorded in tourist arrivals and domestic tourists who doubled. North Sulawesi has 503 cultural attractions, natural, and the sea.

Head of Tourism in North Sulawesi in Manado Fredrik Rotinsulu mention, number of foreign tourist arrivals reached 78,203 people in 2009. In 2008, there were only about 32,760 people. Rotinsulu said the increased numbers in tourist arrivals and domestic tourists occur on length of stay and the amount of money spent. If in 2008 only three days old, now four days. The money that foreign tourists spent about Rp 1.5 million per day per person, while the domestic tourists Rp 750,000 bringing the total money spent by foreign tourists and local tourists Rp 3.7 trillion.

The increase in tourist numbers visit was prompted by the implementation of the marine world conference last May, followed rd August.

Rotinsulu feel confident the numbers in tourist arrivals and domestic tourists increased more in 2010 with a calendar of international activities in the field of Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition (MICE) and tourism. "For MICE, Manado has three building convention facilities (convention) which can accommodate 3,000 to 5,000 people," he said.

However, confidence Rotinsulu, a veterinarian, not based on the work program. He said the program is limited to budget tourism budget. Therefore, tourism projects submitted to the counties and cities.

Infrastructure

Flammable PHRI Chairman Johnny Licke say, it's useless if the performance is great potential stakeholders in tourism so long. "In fact, many tourists complained because objects attract tourism infrastructure is not equipped with proper roads or transport. For example Bunaken, "he said.

To go to Bunaken, many tourists complained because the mobility of sea transport is minimal so that tourism becomes expensive. "Imagine if every to Bunaken, one had chartered a boat motor Rp 500,000 to Rp 1 million each way," he said.

To be sure, North Sulawesi tourism suffered shock after the airline Air Asia, who fly Kuala Lumpur-Manado route, stopping its activities in March. Previously, Sriwijaya Air which flies Manado-Davao was also suspended.

Fortunately there is still a Silk Air flight to Manado from Singapore four times a week. However, the cessation of the two international airlines that have at least shut the door and out of Manado directly to make officials there dizzy.

It is unfortunate, great tourism potential, but the management is very weak potential.
