This publication presents a range of contemporary studies in 'Baliology' - or Balinese studies - which in recent years has been dominated by tourism-related studies. It is the outcome of an international seminar titled 'Benteng Terbuka: The Future of Bali Tourism', a gathering of international and national scholars to discuss the complexities of Balinese tourism and culture in a practical sense.
The contributions move beyond the question of whether tourism has an undesirable impact or otherwise on the island of Bali, examining developments related to Balinese tourism through the analysis of specific tourism strategies or localities by extensive discussion of legislation and policy making.
This volume makes clear that questions of 'sustainability' in relation to Balinese tourism are now as much, if not more, related to the natural environment than they are to aspects of material and performing culture.
