Abstract

Bali Island is well-known tourist destination in the world. As well as Bali Island, several small islands amongst Bali Island such as Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan have good potential for tourist destination. Infrastructure for inter-islands transportation which is located in Southern Bali needs to be improved to support the economy in such region. Various issues are found in improving the infrastructure provision which is related to existing harbor infrastructure such as lack of support from the relevant institutional and port site selection. This study reviewed the factors considered in the development of infrastructure for marine transportation. Supports from relevant institutions, improved infrastructure, transportation network construction, and support then participation of local communities are the factors which can use as strategies and recommendation in strengthening the marine transportation.
