The explosion of mass tourism has allowed many people to visit new places without learning about the local culture or language. Many tourists only meet locals when cleaning hotel rooms. 16 months of closure because of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the tourism industry to suffer. However, this huge industry that holds hundreds of millions of jobs is not going to collapse. It will return with the hope of changing in a sustainable direction, for the better, South China Morning Post identify. Karon Beach in Phuket (Thailand) is deserted on September 30, 2020. Photo: SCMP. Report of World Travel and Tourism Council in September 2020 identified four major changes in the future of tourism: travel demand, health and hygiene concerns, digitalization trends, and sustainability. In terms of demand, visitors will shift to prefer things that are familiar, predictable and reliable, which means local tourism is boosted. That will be evident in major countries with solid tourism foundations such as the US, European countries, Japan and China. International tourists will pay more attention to local characteristics instead of rushing to any place containing the combination of “blue sea, white sand, golden sunshine”. Airline packages will become obsolete. Health and hygiene concerns do not stop at temporary levels. Attending events, especially indoor and crowded ones, is challenging. The pandemic has made foreign travel dangerous, especially for developing countries with weak health infrastructures. The cumbersome administrative procedures to check visitors during the epidemic season will hinder this demand. The trend of digitalization in tourism will interfere and influence in two opposite directions. On the one hand, social networks will help plan trips without human contact and reduce dependence on travel agencies. On the other hand, the need for reliable sources of information can also strengthen the role of travel agencies. In addition, digitalization will also raise concerns about data privacy in international travel. Finally and most importantly, sustainability is effectively addressed. Mass tourism has caused great harm to the environment, “polluting” the experience and enjoyment of trips. The beaches of Bali (Indonesia) or Boracay (Philippines) are much less attractive when filled with plastic waste and untreated sewage. Crowding along the Great Wall at the Badaling section with thousands of other hikers or queuing to conquer Everest lowers the excitement of the experience. The Chinese crowd the Great Wall as fears of an epidemic fade. Photo: CNN. Business trips will be limited but more purposeful, as deep knowledge of foreign markets and different cultures remains key to the success of international businesses. This affects the airline industry, but it’s not bad news. In the future, the tourism industry will probably still hold 330 million jobs and serve 1.5 billion people a year or even more. However, visitors will pay more attention to the local environment and culture. Small groups of traveling friends will be formed to replace crowded groups like “broken bees”.

The move comes nearly two months after the submarine KRI Nanggala sank off the island of Bali during training and China increased its activity near the Natunas. According to analysts, the frigate deal with Italy highlights Jakarta’s concerns after being “intruded into its territorial waters” by Beijing’s ships. An Indonesian navy ship leaves to rescue the sunken submarine Kri Nanggala. Photo: Xinhua News Agency SCMP cited a leaked document revealing that the Indonesian Defense Ministry is expected to propose a budget of 124 billion USD, to be divided over 5 years. This is three times more than five years earlier ($38.8 billion). At the same time, the website of Fincantieri Shipbuilding Company (Italy) confirmed that Jakarta has signed a contract to buy 6 new FREMM multi-purpose frigates and 2 used Italian MaStrale frigates. The two MaStrale ships will be delivered after the Italian navy retires them. “The agreement underscores the importance of strengthening cooperation between the two countries in the strategic Pacific region,” Fincantieri said. “The destroyer agreement shows that European countries are increasing their engagement in the Indo-Pacific region,” said Muhamad Haripin, a researcher at the Political Research Center of the Indonesian Academy of Sciences. European countries increasingly respond to the foreign policies of US President Joe Biden, against the rise of China in the region. According to Mr. Haripin, Indonesia is in need of more patrol boats to monitor the 54,000 km long coastline and vast waters. “Indonesia is concerned about China’s growing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region. It realizes that the rivalry between China and the US can affect regional stability but does not want to interfere. attend directly,” said Mr. Haripin. China claims to have fishing rights in the North Natuna waters and sends fishing boats and coast guard to the area, but Indonesia objected.

The stage is set where there is a beautiful sunset. Wyan Wijana, the manager of the Uluwatu temple area, said: “Since cultural activities are allowed to resume with strict health protocols, we launch the Kecak Dance program in a time of peace. usually new in Bali. The ticketing system is done online. Each stage is only allowed to receive a maximum of 400-500 visitors to ensure distance, dancers and tourists must wear masks or goggles and disinfect before entering the stage. The dancers are tested for Covid-19 periodically to ensure safety.” At exactly 18 o’clock, when the red sun fell near the sea horizon, right in front of the stage’s view, the show began. 90 male dancers with topless tanned skin, wrapped in a black and white checkered sarong from waist to knee appeared one after another, giving off a sense of mystery. Dancers perform on an outdoor stage. Without music, the entire sound of the performance was made by the dancers by repeatedly singing “sure-sure-sure” sounds (in the word “kecak”) like an Acappela with full tones. highs and lows and accompanying applause. The Kecak dance performance consists of 5 parts, simulating Asia’s most famous epic Ramayana. In Bali, the epic Ramayana has become part of Hindu culture and teachings. When the dancers sit arranged in multi-layered circles, the main characters are King Rama and Queen Shinta, and the white monkey king Hanuman and the giant Ravana appear. King Rama and Queen Shita wore red and blue traditional costumes, crowned their heads with beautiful and profound Balinese dance moves depicting passionate love, while giant Ravana with a fierce makeup face appeared. kidnapped Queen Shinta. Dancers playing the role of the White Monkey King Hanuman quickly jumped up the walls, climbed onto the stage, and even teased tourists watching the show to get their laughter. This is the character who sacrificed himself, breaking the prison to save the Empress Shinta. Shinta dances Bali with King Rama. Ms. Tu Thuy, a Vietnamese tourist, shared: “It’s great to be able to watch the Kecak dance performance with the sunset on the sea. The sea breeze and the unique performances and interaction with the audience for more than an hour passed quickly. I hope one day I can experience Kecak dance with a different perspective in Bali.” The sun disappeared, the sky was patched with patches of red, orange, blue-violet and then gradually turned dark, and that was when the performance came to an end. The dancers lit torches to light up the entire stage, continued to sing “definitely-surely” louder and louder, beginning the final scene of burning the White Monkey King alive. The battle of the monkey army and the giant Ravana to rescue the White Monkey King and Queen Shinta created beautiful fire dances. At the end, King Rama and Queen Shinta danced a reunion dance while the monkey army celebrated their victory. Bali fire dance. Kecak dance appeared in Bali since 1930 as a Hindu musical dance. In 2006, more than 5,000 dancers performing Kecak dance in Badung district, Bali province, were recorded in the Museum of World Records Indonesia (MURI) for traditional cultural and artistic values ​​in Bali. Watching Bali’s sunset and watching the cultural show “Kecak Dance” is truly an unforgettable experience for visitors. Some pictures of the show: The sound of “Sure-sure-sure” was heard continuously during the performance. Queen Shinta in traditional Balinese dress. The giant Ravana with a fierce face. Monkey King Hanuman climbs onto the stands to tease visitors. The scene of the monkey king Hanuman being burned. The dance ended the show.

Fragments from the submarine were found during a search operation. When the submarine of the Indonesian navy carried 53 divers into the Bali Sea during a periodic training exercise, it may have been pulled into the abyss by an invisible but powerful force. Indonesian naval officials suspect an inner wave, known to have occurred in the waters around Bali, could have caused the sinking of the KRI Nanggala 402. (According to Britannian Dictionary: Side Wave) in, a kind of gravity wave that occurs on internal “surfaces” in ocean waters). The KRI Nanggala 402 sank to a depth of 838 meters, far beyond the reach of the rescuers. As the crew members’ personal belongings surfaced and the ship’s oxygen supplies dwindled, officials said there was no possibility of anyone surviving. The question remains: What happened? Many theories have been put forward but the authorities say there is evidence that an underwater wave – which could induce a vertical tensile force below sea level – occurred in the Bali Sea around the time. The submarine disappeared last Wednesday morning. The Lombok Strait between the islands of Bali and Lombok is believed to be famous for its violent underground waves on an almost bi-weekly basis. NASA, the US space regulator, says the combination of strong tidal currents, rough ocean floor and water exchange between two channels – one shallow and one deep – “tends to combine around 14. once a day for exceptionally strong tidal currents. Indonesian naval officials believe this natural phenomenon is more likely to be the explanation for the submarine disaster than other theories have been put forward in recent days. The waves inside are barely discernible on the ocean’s surface, but underwater, they can reach towering heights. The waves inside can look like ripples on the ocean’s surface, like this satellite image taken by NASA in 2013. (Wikimedia Commons: NASA) Rear Admiral Muhammad Ali, former commander of the KRI Nanggala 402, and now the Indonesian navy planning and budgeting assistant, said an internal wave was essentially “a strong electric current that can pull a submarine. vertically so it will sink faster than usual. ” “Our suspicions were directed towards natural conditions. Because an undercurrent appeared at that time in the north of Bali,” he told Indonesian media. Naval officials said images from Japan’s Himawari 8 satellite, as well as Europe’s Sentinel satellite, showed massive underwater waves coinciding with the sinking of the KRI Nanggala 402. . “It moves from the bottom to the north and there is a groove between the two waves,” said Rear Adm. Iwan Isnurwanto, Commander of the Indonesian Navy Command and General Staff School. “The wave speed is about two knots and the amount of water is about two to four million cubic liters.” Admiral Iwan explained that an inner wave could render the crew powerless in the face of nature. “Once the water swept along and pushed the ship down, what else could we do? There is no safety measure that can fix that.” Other theories about what happened to the submarine have also emerged. Some suggested that this submarine was hit by a missile from a foreign ship, or even lost power. But naval officials said the submarine was still trackable when it began diving for torpedo drills and “the lights were on” – meaning there was only a small chance of power outages. They also denied that the ship was overloaded, a theory that had 53 crew members on board but only 34 beds, instead arguing that the crew was divided into three shifts and took turns sleeping. “The submarine was originally for 33 staff members, then modernized to meet our need to have 50 staff on board,” said Admiral Iwan. Officials said the submarine was also designed to carry eight torpedoes – weighing about a ton each – but only four at the time of the disaster. Many other experts point out that metal fatigue due to cracking or corrosion and that the age of the parts is the more likely cause. KRI Nanggala 402 was built in 1978 and last overhauled in 2012, almost a decade ago.

The Indonesian navy KRI Nanggala-402 went missing on Wednesday. Alex Widojo / Anadolu Agency / Getty Images The search for a missing Indonesian Navy submarine has been going on for days, and time is running out, hopes seem to have faded. “The submarines are designed to be hard to detect, this is a problem that can happen when one sinks,” said Bryan Clark, a former US Navy submarine officer. Submarines are built to penetrate enemy waters, engage and engage enemy navies, shoot at ground targets with cruise and ballistic missiles, and even deliver force. amount secretly entering enemy territory / territorial waters. Not all submarines can perform every task, but regardless of the mission and the ship’s capabilities, stealth is considered to be of primary importance. The KRI Nanggala-402 is a German-made diesel-electric attack submarine that is more than 40 years old. Due to the age of the submarine, it may lack the coating and stealth features of newer ships, even after being refurbished in 2012, giving search and rescue teams a bit of an edge. as they try to look for it, but other challenges will overwhelm any potential advantage. In the event of an emergency, the submarine can either trigger a “ping” device on the ship or send a buoy to monitor (if the Indonesian submarine has these systems and the systems are in operation as well. the submarine crew knew how to use them and did not lose their ability to act). A “ping” signaling device is extremely valuable because it allows search and rescue teams to use passive sonar to scan a larger ocean area with other tools. There is no indication that KRI Nanggala-402 is making a sound that would aid with the search. Mr. Clark, a defense expert at the US Hudson Institute, speculates that if the ship makes a sound, it may have been located. “If it makes a sound no matter what form it is, it will be much easier to find,” he said. Without a ping or other type of noise, search and rescue teams are limited to using active sonar, narrowing the scanning range and prolonging the time it takes to search for a site. field. While passive sonar involves listening to sounds coming from objects in the ocean, sonar actively emit pings and then listens for echoes from objects in the ocean. The Indonesian navy identified the submarine disappeared in the waters north of Bali island. Search teams soon noticed oil slicks in their search area, narrowing the scope of interest. In this common area, search units found an object with “strong magnetic resonance” that could be emitted from the missing submarine. While these developments have significantly reduced the overall size of the search area, there is still a lot to consider. Indonesia has dozens of ships and aircraft, supported by international forces participating in the search. The Indonesian navy said the ship may have sunk at a depth of more than 600 meters, which would certainly complicate the search. Not only does that depth exceed the maximum depth of the ship, potentially putting the hull in danger of rupture, but it could also leave it out of the reach of existing recovery options. Finding things on the ocean floor is also quite difficult, Mr. Clark said. “Like we’ve seen with so many airline crashes, it’s hard to find something, even big, when it falls to the sea floor, because it’s mixed up in the mess down there,” he said. The ARA San Juan submarine of the Argentine navy went missing in 2017. It wasn’t until a year later that search teams found the ship, 44 crew members killed, on the ocean floor at a depth of about 1,000m. “If a diesel submarine as small as an Indonesian submarine sinks more than 600 meters, it is unlikely to survive,” Clark said.

Meanwhile, deep-sea lifeboats are en route to Indonesia from India and Singapore. Indonesian officials said on Friday that if the submarine was intact and working properly, the sailors would only have enough oxygen to survive until dawn Saturday. “So far, we haven’t found it yet. But with existing equipment, we may be able to locate the submarine, ”Achmad Riad, a spokesman for the Indonesian military, said at a press conference. Submarine KRI Nanggala-402. Photo: USN Collin Koh, an expert at the Indonesian Institute for Strategic and Defense Studies, said that assuming a submarine has enough oxygen for 72 hours is an optimistic statement, as the submarine’s oxygen-generating capacity will be limited during power outages. . “So it’s possible that the oxygen has run out,” Koh said. Experts like Koh said Indonesia will have to expand the search area again if the highly magnetic object proves not to be a ship. Koh also warned that if the submarine falls to “extreme depth”, it will be almost impossible to find. The Bali Sea can reach a depth of more than 1,500 meters. At the time of his disappearance, there were 53 people on board. Including commander of Indonesian submarine fleet – Mr. Harry Setiawan. KRI Nanggala-402 submarine went missing on the morning of April 21 while participating in a torpedo drill near Bali island. On the morning of April 22, oil spills were discovered at the submarine’s diving location. On the morning of April 23, a metal object with a high magnetism was found. But since then, there have been no more clues. On the morning of April 24, the reserved oxygen on the ship was exhausted.

KRI Nanggala 402 submarine Therefore, the focus of current attention will be to salvage the ship’s wreck from the waters off the coast of Bali, Indonesia. Previously, the Chief of the Indonesian Navy Yudo Margono said on April 23 that the country’s rescue team discovered an object with “high magnetism” floating at a depth of 50 to 100 meters off the north coast. Bali island, near where submarine KRI Nanggala 402 was identified lost contact. They are preparing to deploy naval ships equipped with hydroacoustic systems to the area, to confirm whether this is an object from this submarine or not. After the KRI Nanggala 402 went missing, the navy of Singapore and Malaysia sent warships to join the search, while a series of other countries such as the US, Australia, Germany, France, Russia, India, Turkey Ky and South Korea also offered assistance. Information from the TNI military website said that the missing KRI Nanggala 402 submarine was built in Germany and put into service with the Indonesian navy since 1981. This ship has undergone a two-year refurbishment process. Korea and completed in 2012.

Yudo Margono, the naval chief of staff, told reporters that authorities had found an object with “high magnetic force” floating at a depth of 50 to 100 meters. Authorities hope the object could be the missing submarine and are currently waiting for a naval ship with underwater detection facilities to help them investigate the object further. The Indonesian military has so far declined to comment on whether the decades-old submarine, carrying 53 crew, is overpowered. Submarine KRI Nanggala-402 – Photo: Reuters However, they said the submarine may have sank to great depths after a power outage left the crew unable to control the ship. If the object is found to be part of the submarine, the navy suspects the crew may have discharged its fuel load after a power outage to allow the submarine to float. Navy officials feared the submarine might explode. Collin Koh, a naval expert and research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, said damage to the fuel tank could cause “big trouble”. Naval spokesperson Julius Widjojono previously told KompasTV that a battery-powered submarine when submerged could only maintain a depth of 250 to 500 meters. “Anything that makes it go deeper than that can be fatal and dangerous,” he said. The waters in the region are shallower than in other parts of the archipelago but can still reach depths of more than 1,500 meters.

Photo: AP Indonesian submarine KRI Nanggala 402 lost contact after diving on April 21 off the coast of Bali, and concerns are growing that the submarine may have sunk too deep, difficult to reach and recover. President Joko Widodo has called on all Indonesians to pray for the return of the crew, and ordered every effort to be made to locate the ship in distress. Two ships left a port in a nearby area on the morning of April 23 to engage in search activity. More than 20 naval ships, 2 submarines and 5 aircraft were mobilized for search on April 22, and more large-scale search operations are expected on April 23. Lifeboats from Singapore and Malaysia are expected to be in the area from Saturday to Monday next week, and other countries have also requested assistance. In his televised speech on April 22, Mr. Widodo said: “Our main priority is the safety of the 53 crew members. To the families of the crew members, I can understand their feelings at the moment and we are doing our best to save the lives of all crew members on board. The country’s Navy Admiral Yudo Margono said the missing submarine is expected to run out of oxygen at about 3 a.m. on April 24. The search has been centered around the oil slick discovered near the submarine’s last dive site. But there is no convincing evidence that this oil streak belonged to the missing submarine. Admiral Margono said that the oil could be spilled from a crack in the submarine’s fuel tank or it could also be that the crew drained the oil and the fluids to reduce weight, allowing the ship to float. There was an unidentified object with high magnetism at a depth of 50 to 100 meters, and officials hope it was the submarine they were looking for, Margono said. The Indonesian Navy also believes that the submarine has sunk to a depth of 600-700 meters, much deeper than the landmark where the hull can withstand water pressure. According to estimates by a Korean company that repaired this submarine in the period 2009-2012, the ship could explode when it sank to a depth of 200 meters. Currently, people are still not sure about the reason why the submarine suddenly disappeared. The Indonesian navy said it was possible that an electrical incident could have prevented the submarine from performing emergency procedures to emerge. In addition to the lifeboats sent by Singapore and Malaysia, other offers of assistance have also come from Australia, the US, Germany, France, Russia, India, Turkey and South Korea. The hospital ship KRI Dr. Soeharso of the Indonesian Navy participates in the search for the missing submarine. Photo: AP Historically, submarine accidents have often had serious consequences. In 2000, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk exploded from the inside and sank during exercises in the Barents Sea. Most of the 118 crew members died immediately, while 23, although they managed to reach the rear compartment, were suffocated. In November 2017, an Argentine submarine went missing and 44 waterways in the South Atlantic, until nearly a year later, it was discovered that the wreck was 800 meters deep. But in 2005, seven members on a Russian mini submarine were rescued three days after their ship was caught in fishing nets and cables in the Pacific, at a time when the ship had only enough oxygen for six hours. if the lake cannot float to the surface of the water. It is known that the KRI Nanggala 402 submarine is currently missing, produced by Germany, has been used by Indonesia since 1981 and at the time of the accident carrying 49 sailors and 3 gunners and commanders. Hoang Bach According to AP

Indonesian officials fear the ship may sink deeply, making it difficult to access rescue equipment. In a statement released on April 22, President Joko Widodo called on the people of Indonesia to pray that the crew can return safely. He also ordered all-out use to locate the submarine in distress. More than 20 naval ships, two submarines, five aircraft were mobilized to participate in the search campaign. Lifeboats from Singapore and Malaysia have also arrived on the scene to provide assistance. “Our main priority is the safety of the 53 crew members” Mr. Widodo stressed. Indonesia races against time to rescue the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine. (Photo: Anadolu) Naval Chief of Staff Adm Yudo Margono said, KRI Nanggala 402 is expected to run out of oxygen at 3 am on April 24. Searches are currently concentrated around the oil slick found next to the last dive site of KRI Nanggala 402. But there is currently no evidence that the oil stain was left by a submarine. Margono said the oil could spill from a crack in the fuel tank or the crew could discharge fuel to reduce the weight to help the vessel float. The Indonesian rescue team also found an unidentified highly magnetic object located at a depth of 50-100 m. Officials of this country hope it is the lost ship. However, the Indonesian navy did not rule out the possibility that KRI Nanggala 402 had sunk at a depth of 600-700 m. This depth could crush the ship due to the water pressure. The cause of the disappearance is still unknown. Indonesian officials said the power outage may have prevented the submarine from going through the emergency procedures to float again. In addition to the lifeboats sent to Singapore and Malaysia, Australia, the US, Germany, France, Russia, India, Turkey and South Korea are offering to help Indonesia. Submarine accidents are often catastrophic. In 2000, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk exploded and sank during a maneuver in the Barents Sea. Most of the 118 crewmembers died immediately, but 23 escaped into the rear compartment before dying because the Russian navy could not find them in time. In November 2017, an Argentine submarine carrying 44 crew members went missing in the South Atlantic. Nearly a year later, the ship’s wreck was found at a depth of 800 meters. But in 2005, a group of seven sailors aboard a small Russian submarine were rescued almost three days after their ship was hooked to a cable at a depth of 190 meters. By the time the cable was cut and surfaced, the amount of oxygen on board was only about six hours. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense said that the German-made diesel-powered KRI Nanggala 402 entered naval service in 1981. The ship carried 49 sailors, one commander and three gunners when it went missing.
