Tourism sector of Bali is never empty of tourist arrival. A number of tourism areas have always been a favorite destination for local and foreign tourists. However, amid the rapid growth of Bali tourism, Bangli seems to always become a tourist destination put on the umpteen numbers and only serves as a sojourn.
LOS ANGELES — Gavin MacLeod’s new autobiography recounts childhood poverty and loss, alcohol abuse and a brush with suicide, but the man and the book emerge as determinedly upbeat.

cLeod said, anticipating who would be on set “and the experiences we would have working together.” Then there’s Bette Davis. She wasn’t among those who boarded “Love Boat” during its 1977-87 cruise, but MacLeod’s social encounter with her provides a memorable anecdote. A mutual friend asked MacLeod and his wife to invite Davis, then in her 70s, to dinner, because the star wanted to meet him. No effort or expense was spared (Davis’ drink of choice, Chivas Regal, and caviar were served), but the grande dame proceeded to quarrel with guests, insult her hosts and then pour salt on the wound with an interview in which she called the evening a “disaster.” “She ripped us! I couldn’t believe it,” MacLeod says in the book (written with Mark Dagostino), which opens in a far different world. MacLeod, born Allan See in 1931, was raised in the town of Pleasantville, N.Y. His Depression Erachildhood included poverty and a household roiled by his father’s bouts of drinking and then death at age 39 from cancer. MacLeod was 13, and the loss hit him hard.

But instead, I did the opposite.”

“Grateful” is employed frequently in conversation as the affable MacLeod reflects on life, his born-again Christian faith and the long acting career that included the major TV hits “Mary Tyler Moore” and “The Love Boat.” “That’s a big word in my life,” said MacLeod who, at 82, has endured two heart attacks yet still looks and sounds energetic enough to set sail. “I’m just so grateful I’ve had another day, another day, another day, and that my kids are doing so well.” “This is Your Captain Speaking,” with a cover photo of MacLeod as Capt. Merrill Stubing in his sparkling white “Love Boat” uniform and smile to match, is a candid look at his ups and downs in love and as an actor, including his unexpected jump from second banana to leading man. But he is almost invariably kind to the many stars he worked with over the years in film and TV, including Cary Grant and Robert Redford, and the parade of previous-generation performers who came aboard “The Love Boat,” including Helen Hayes, Ethel Merman and Cab Calloway. “The big stars are the best. I pinched myself every single day” heading to work on “Love Boat,” Ma-

Distribution of Bali tourism uneven Bali Post
BANGLI - Tourism sector of Bali is never empty of tourist arrival. A number of tourism areas have always been a favorite destination for local and foreign tourists. However, amid the rapid growth of Bali tourism, Bangli seems to always become a tourist destination put on the umpteen numbers and only serves as a sojourn. According to a legislator of Bangli House, Ida Bagus Santosa, the Bangli tourism indeed did not grow as progressively as the tourism in southern Bali. Even, if it was calculated from the rupiah value, only a certain percent of the tourist’s expenditure went to Bangli. “For example, of IDR 10 million of tourist’s expenditure, only IDR 100,000 goes to Bangli. It is negligible compared to the other tourist areas,” he said. Even, added
Santosa, so far the tourist’s expenditure was far more spent for hotel and restaurant sector mostly owned by businessmen from outside the region. As a result, the impact of tourism could not be perceived directly by the people of Bangli. This FKPI politician judged, although Bali recently hosted various international events, the benefits were not necessarily enjoyed directly by local community. So far, the tourism pie in

Bali, said Santosa, was still not evenly distributed. A disparity remained to happen between one county and other counties. According to Santosa, in order the Bali tourism pie could be distributed fairly, one of the ways that could be taken by the government was collecting levies to guest through a single door management. “I think it better to apply a single door management to guests coming to Bali. Each guest coming to Bali, for instance, is charged at IDR 1 million. So, guest is no longer subject to other levies and hotel and restaurant taxes. For example, if each guest is charged at IDR 1 million and spends IDR 10 million, logically the hotel and restaurant tax is worth IDR 1 million as well. Well, if tourist arrival to Bali amounts to 7 million, just multiply them by IDR 1 million, so it can totally get IDR 7 trillion. Afterward, this amount is divided fairly and there will be a fair distribution of the Bali tourism pie,” he said. (ina)
