saya pikir adanya kesan sebuah konflik antara penerapan hukum/aturan islam ketika berinteraksi dengan lingkungan sekitar atau budaya2/agama/kebiasaan yang notabene berbeda dengan konsep dalam islam. Ini khususnya berlaku di negara kita yang suka rame terus
Pariwisata dan Islam? Konflik atau Tidak? Ada sebuah negara dengan populasi penduduk lokal 100% muslim yaitu Maldives, mereka berhasil mengundang foreign investor masuk ke negaranya untuk mendirikan hotel2 berbintang. Pariwisata mereka mulai berkembang dan digemari oleh pasar mayoritas spt Jepang, Korea, Eropa Amerika ataupun Australia Awalnya saya pikir wah susah deh hidup di negara ini, karena sudah pasti bakal banyak aturan2 agama yang bakalan mengharamkan beberapa produk dalam industri wisata/hotel, contohnya minuman keras, daging babi, hubungan mesra dengan tamu, topless, etc etc Pada kenyataannya di setiap hotel di seantero Maldives, produk wisata ini ini exist dan hidup secara bebas. Aturan Hukum yang berlaku di negara ini sekilas saya sebutkan adalah yang muslim haram hukumnya menikmati produk2 tsb di ruang terbuka, dan yang non muslim sangat dilarang menawarkan produk ini kepada penduduk lokal. Akan tetapi prakteknya .....yang terjadi adalah kawan2 muslim turut juga menikmati dan enjoy dengan lifestyle ini malah mereka terkenal suka minum dan suka dengan wanita yang topless. Bagaimana saat warganya menjalankan kegiatan agama? Hmmm...mereka boleh dikata taat saat bersholat. Hmmmmm.....siapa yang salah siapa yang benar? Maldives telah membuktikan bahwa ternyata walaupun Islam ada disana, tetapi pariwisata juga tetap hidup malah berkembang pesat Memang secara budaya saya akui mereka tidak punya unggulan berupa budaya. Unggulan mereka hanya satu yaitu wisata menyelam (diving tour) Lalu mengapa di Indonesia, Islam is bad for tourism? Mau ngga mau saya juga musti akui hal tersebut. Apakah karena orang2nya/umat2nya yang kurang mampu bertoleransi dengan budaya/agama lain? Ataukah karena ajarannya? saya juga ngga tahu...

Luthfi Assyaukanie mentions the success of Hindu dominated Bali in developing a thriving tourist industry, and compares it with the lack of such success of the Muslim dominated Ternate and Tidore islands in North Maluku, and also Lombok, both places being able to lay claim to having many of the tropical charms that normally would see sun-seeking foreigners with too much spare time on their hands beating a path to their doors, bringing along with them lots of money. Not only beachside attractions distinguish Lombok and Ternate-Tidore but they are also places full of history. Interestingly, Lombok, like Bali, was once an important centre of Hindu learning and culture. While Bali held on to its Hindu heritage, and thrived, Lombok abandoned it in favour of Islam, and did not prosper, in terms of the travel industry at any rate. Ternate and Tidore, in the Moluccas, near the island of Halmahera, have not succeeded at all in the tourism area, says Luthfi, while Lomboks limited success can be put down to its proximity to Bali - it has merely taken the overflow from the Island of the Gods and cannot take any credit for having done so. Foreign tourists like to drink alcohol, says Luthfi. But on the little islands of Ternate and Tidore there are few places, if any, where degenerate westerners can indulge their weakness for the demon drink, or get hammered, in colloquial terms. Luthfi met with some people on the islands, people who all said, when asked, that they would welcome the development of a tourist industry. But, when asked about the existence of cafes or bars they said that such places as had existed had all been shut down by the local branch of the FPI (Front Pembela Islam). One person said: There used to some [cafes and bars] but they were all torn down. Recently one has opened but they [the owners] are still afraid to operate. (dulu ada, tapi semuanya sudah dihancurkan. Baru-baru ini ada satu kafe didirikan, tapi masih takut beroperasi.) Luthfi, in Islam, Turisme, dan Toleransi, says the citizens of Ternate, Tidore, and Lombok, and other Muslim areas that would like to build a tourist industry, should learn from the tolerant attitude of the Balinese, that is, that in order to enjoy the benefits of tourism the various consequences have also to be accepted. www.indonesiamatter s.com/674/ islam-tourism/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
