Pemenuhan Hak Kebudayaan dan Kepariwisataan Wisatawan Penyandang Disabilitas Fisik di Kota Batam

Abstract

Batam is rapidly developed nowadays. There are factors that might effect the growth. The effort of promoting tourism and cultural programs, and the envolvement of tourism parties, are made to attract more tourists to visit Batam. However, beside the growth of tourisms itself, the government and responsible parties are laxing to provide and maintain good facilities for tourists. Because, tourist has their own right as a tourist, which is regulated in Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Number 8 Year 2016 about Person with Disabilities, and it is called the cultural and tourism rights. Therefore, this dissertation is aimed to find out about the tourist visits potency in Batam, and to find out about what’s the real obstacles, faced by both people with disability (phiysically) and the government, due to the effort of fulfilling cultural and tourism rights. The writer is using the empirical method in analyzing the collected data, where the data itself was collected while doing the interview or observation. Then, the writer describe the matters in tie with regulations. By then, it can be seen that the tourism potency of Batam is great, but unfortunately, data lacking toward disabilities show that the government has not yet put the issue in the first place. The problems is now remain unidentified as the data was out of record. So, the government efforts in the future with both tourism business field persons and nearby community is now concerned and hopefully can improve the quality of accessibilities that has been built, in progress, or will be built in the future.
