Fewer visitors to Sukawati Art Market

Sukawati road-facing market located in_Gianyar Regency has a strategic position, as it is passed through during the tour to some destinations to the east. Sukawati art market is close to Celuk village, the center of gold & silversmiths. We can drop in after watching barong and Kris dance performance in the morning.

The Sukawati Art Market during the weekend was not like the condition in previous months as fewer visitors spared a time to drop by at one of the popular art market in Gianyar or even on Bali Island.

This was worsened by the arrival of the rainy season in this November and it was predicted that the season would end in the upcoming February 2008. Certainly the condition even deterred domestic and foreign tourists to visit Sukawati and consequently the business in the market remained sluggish. Except on weekdays, the number of tourists visiting the art market that displays various kinds of high quality handicrafts is considerably high.

The nationalities of the tourists were mostly from China, Taiwan, but several tourists from Australia and the United States were also seen to do sightseeing as well as shopping there.

“Since the Bali bombings, there are hardly foreign or even domestic tourists visiting Gianyar regency, particularly Sukawati as one of traditional art markets and a popular destination in Gianyar,” a trader, Sudarmika said on last Sunday.

According to him, before the Bali bomb blast, Sukawati was one of popular tourist destinations in Gianyar and became the favorite place for foreign and local visitors.

It is the art market in Gianyar that offers several art products, like plait crafts, various paintings, traditional musical instruments, handicrafts, and others. The market is potential to attract more and more tourists spending holidays to visit the destination.

“Normally, in the afternoon numerous foreign tourists are visiting the market, but now they hardly come to this place,” he said. Furthermore, he said that another factor why very few tourists coming to the art market is that the drivers of buses or other means of transportation often find difficulties to park their vehicles.

Craftsmen have to creative to offer handicraft products

This is a handicraft's made process

In the sluggish condition the marketing handicrafts products are very difficult. At the present, handicrafts business face tight competition in the market. If local craftsmen want to be a winner in the competition, they have to know the market opportunity as well as creative to create handicraft products.

A craftsman, Ahmadi said, now the marketing handicraft product is more difficult. As well as the purchasing power of customer low, nowadays many similar product from outside Bali also commerce in local market. “This affect the competition of this business tighter,” he said.

He added, to be a winner in the competition, craftsmen have to be smart and creative. Other craftsmen in Kerobokan, Made Suparta added, at the present craftsmen still faced several problems such as the decreasing of market access, the weakness of the craftsmen in getting access to capital, design, production system and market information. “If that problems can be overcome, we are optimistic craftsmen will be able to create handicraft product with the high quality,” he said.

He expected, craftsmen have been increase their quality product and the commerce also have to be observed. “If it this conducted by craftsmen, we ensured the handicraft product made in Bali will ready to compete with other product from same area,” he said.

According to Suparta, Balinese craftsmen cannot do something when they handicraft to market did not saleable. “A lot of craftsmen offer their products with inexpensive price to attract costumers,” he said.

As a craftsman, he hoped the government gives the serious attention to the craftsmen. “The problems have to overcome, because this bring big affect to craftsmen creativity,” he said.

Bali Shopping Fun by Made Dertha

Bali is a shopper?s paradise. Hundreds of boutiques and roadside stalls have been set up all over the island, and thousands of artisans, craftspeople, seamstresses, woodcarvers, painters, etc are kept busy supplying the tourist demand. Sometimes swarms of vendors crowd the beaches and streets offering you T-Shirts, sarong, necklaces, friendship bracelets, drinks and watches.

Go out from your hotel and then stroll along the road which is lined by myriads of shops and kiosks, soon the taxi drivers, shopkeepers and the restaurant?s staffs wave their hands and say the common word ?kemana? means where are you going?, have a look. Sometimes they want to shake hand and take you into his shop. Smile and say hello to them, keep walking, but if you see something that you are looking for stop and enter, ask the price.

Try not to accept the first price that you are given, as most vendors add on anything between 30%-50% extra. Bargain or go to other shops. The most common word said by the Balinese vendor is ?bangkrut? means bankrupt, if the price you make is thought to low. Usually if the vendor cease to smile, it?s mean you got the price. If you spent good enough money in one shop, try to ask him/her a souvenir, he/she will be very glad to offer you one for free.

You?ll get more for your money, if you are prepared to spend time and smile whilst bargaining. Although tempting, try not to make any major purchases for the first few days. Look around, take your time, bargain hard and then buy?.and so to shopping. A fun isn?t it? Where and what to buy is the next step.

The variety is literally endless. Most of the handicrafts and paintings can be found in the district of Gianyar. The village of Mas and Kemenuh is famed of its best and talented wood carvers, you can visit a workshop where artisans in work, they produce either masterpieces or mass productions.

Textiles in Gianyar, Klungkung, Karangasem (Tenganan), Kuta and Denpasar. Kuta has the best shopping, but you have to deal with the crassness (sometimes) of the shopkeepers. If you do not stay in Kuta during your vacation in Bali and wish to shop there, take a cab, stop and down in Kuta Center, this is the appropriate place to reach the neighboring sites like Legian and Seminak by taxi, there are hundreds of good shops.

What To See In Bali by James S.

Bali, one of the most beautiful places in the world, holds an unparalleled mystique for any lover of the south pacific. Filled with incredible scenery and colorful culture, a visit to Bali is an experience you will never forget. Especially if you pick up a souvenir or two, and snap some good photos.

Rather then simply wandering about alone, it is a good idea to get a guided tour of the island. The local people will obviously have a much better idea of where the good sites to see are, as well as hopefully knowing how to avoid the rush of other tourists. Here are a few of the major scenes you may want to look at, so be sure to tell your guide you want to visit them.

The Ubud Monkey Park

If you are a fan of monkeys and other wildlife, then the monkey park is for you. You can buy small fruits such as bananas right at the entrance, to feed to the monkeys, or just wander around watching them. Remember though, that although they might seem quite human at times they are still just monkeys, and you need to be careful. Nevertheless, the scenery is gorgeous, and the habitats are excellently done.

The Pura Luhur Uluwatu

A "directional temple", the Uluwatu temple was created to defend Bali from evil spirits that might attack from the south west. It has a great deal of importance in local festivals and rituals, and is surrounded by a number of other ornate and beautiful temples. The temple itself was founded in the 1100s, although the surrounding temples weren't built until the seventeenth century.

The Batur Volcano Complex

This amazing volcano is a must-see in Bali. Still active, this volcano is one of the most popular attractions in Bali. The caldera alone is over 10 kilometers wide and approximately 450 meters deep. Much legend and lore surrounds the volcano, and it is said to be Goddess Danu's throne.

Barong Dance

The phrase "Barong Dance" is often used just to refer to a dance where the dancers where animal masks, however the original meaning of the word is quite different. Barong was a character in Balinese mythology, the king of good spirits. Although each region represents Barong by a different animal, and he is most commonly shown as a lion, it is unclear what exactly the original, mythical Barong actually was.

I'm sure you'll form your own opinions of the best places in Bali, but remember that as in any popular tourist spot, there are people out there to take advantage of you. Take care, make sure you know what you're doing, and you shouldn't have any nasty surprises. Oh, and turn down anything offered for free- it very rarely really is.
