Comparison of Tourist Destination between Switzerland and Japan

Comparison of Tourist Destination between Switzerland and Japan

Switzerland’s most visited tourist destinations :

1. Lucerne



An hours distance from the south of Basle and Zürich, and spectacular mountain views and lake cruises, LUZERN (Lucerne in French and English, Lucerna in Italian) has been one of the Europe's most heavily visited tourist places. Its popularity dates back to the year 1868 when Queen Victoria came for a long holiday in August 1868. A century old steady growth has resulted in the tourist traffic of five millions visiting Lucerne every year. Tourism is the leading source of income, yet the city has been able to retain its charm at all costs.

2. Zurich



Zurich is very famous as the cleanest and most calm and efficient city in Europe. One of the biggest towns of Europe and Switzerland, visiting Zürich gives you a feel at home element where you can finally walk on crowded, multi-ethnic streets, buy a kebab, get a drink after midnight, feel a lived in urban buzz. In the last two years the art and culture in the city has progressed by leaps and bounds, expressing itself in the most tangible form in a host of clubs and a thriving underground dance scene. Once a stereotype, Zurich no longer conveys the traditional essence. The city has now attained a dynamic hue characterized by an exciting city.

3. Geneva Jet D’eau



The Geneva Jet D’eau is a huge fountain in Geneva, Switzerland, and is one of the city’s most renowned landmarks. It is one of the tallest fountains in the world, bulging water up to 140 meters high. Constructed in 1891, it is regarded as one of the symbols of the city of Geneva. It was used as a secure regulator for a hydraulic power network and could reach a height of about 98 feet. In 1891, its beautiful significance was recognized and it was moved to its present position to commemorate the Federal Gymnastics Festival and the 600th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation, on which occurrence it was activated for the first time.

4. Interlaken

Located on lakeside, with a dominance of German-speaking populace in Switzerland, Interlaken offers the winter sport buffs, access to some of the most spectacular skiing in the Alps. Traditionally a 'Summer' resort, Interlaken attracts the winter sports enthusiasts on account of its prime location. Interlaken is known for its healthy climate, as well as the spectacular views. Its excellent hotels and other facilities at reasonable rates during the winter make it an ideal haven for the tourists. Its status became 'official' with the launch of the The Jungfrau Top Ski Region, containing more than 160 Km (100 miles) of trails in ski centers above Grindelwald, all linked to Interlaken by a mountain railway included in a ski pass. The average length of runs in the area is a remarkable six - 12 KM (four - nine miles). With the pass, it has become possible to ski a different ski area every day for a week.

5. The Swiss Alps



The Alps cover three-fifths of the Swiss territory, making Switzerland the second most Alpine country after Austria, where the proportion reaches two-thirds. Setting aside that part of Graubunden which lies to the east of the Hinterrhein Valley - a high valley like the Engadin, which, with its extra-continental climate, is more typical of central Europe - the Swiss Alps, like the French ones, belong to the western Alpine group, that is, to the steepest and most contorted chain.
The best way of seeing the Swiss alps is with one of the scenic trains that frequent the main alpine destinations in Switzerland.

Japan’s most visited tourist destinations :
 

1. Harajuku, Tokyo



Harajuku is the central part of one of the most extreme teenage cultures in Japan. Apart from teenagers, the Harajuku offers shopping for people of different age. In addition, it features a number of historic sights. The most attractive point is believed to be Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) along with its side streets arranged by numerous fashion shops, boutiques, clothes stores and fast food outlets.

2. Asakusa, Tokyo



It is one of the few districts of Japan's capital that has maintained the tone of the old Tokyo. The main attraction of Asakusa is Sensoji, a popular Buddhist temple, constructed in the 7th century. The shopping street that leads to the temple is where people can buy different traditional, local snacks, as well as various souvenirs.
Asakusa has been the main entertainment district of Tokyo for a number of centuries. It is worth mentioning that throughout the Edo Period Asakusa was situated outside Toyo's limits. At that time it was the site of kabuki theatres and a popular red light district. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century a lot of modern entertainments, such as movies, started developing in the district.

3. Shibuya, Tokyo



This is a district of Japan's capital that is often referred to a shopping and entertainment area, being located around Shibuya Station. The ward is one of the most colorful and busy places within Tokyo. Shibuya is the birthplace of many Japan's most popular fashion and entertainment brands. There are two main rivals that compete for the largest department and fashion store in the district; these are Tokyu and Seibu corporations.

4. Ginza, Tokyo



This is the most prestigious districts in Tokyo in terms of shopping, dining and entertainment. It includes a huge number of department stores, art galleries, restaurants and night clubs. The land here is extremely expensive, for instance a square meter is worth over 10 million yen, which is about $100,000. In Ginza one may find all of the world's leading fashion and cosmetics brand names.
The most suitable time to pay a visit to the district is during a weekend afternoon. This is the time when the central Chuo Dori closes to traffic and turns into a large zone for pedestrians.

5. Kyoto



In the period between 794 and 1868 Kyoto was the capital of Japan and served as the residence of the emperor. Currently it is the seventh largest city in Japan with a population exceeding 1.4 million. The city suffered from many wars and fires. However, because of its historic importance it was not chosen to be the target of an atomic bomb. In addition it was not bombed during the air raids that occurred during the Second World War. Today the city houses numerous temples, shrines and many other historically important constructions. It is probably the second most popular tourist destination in Japan after Tokyo.

The Conclusion :
based on explanation above, both country has a gorgeous tourist destination, but Switzerland and Japan has a different type of tourist destination. Switzerland more greener and environmental friendly than Japan, most of tourist destination in Switzerland are nature tourism. but, Japan more advance technology than Switzerland, and the most of tourist destination are culture tourism. Japan is richer in Culture and Switzerland richer in nature scenery.

TAMAN NASIONAL BATANG GADIS

 TAMAN NASIONAL BATANG GADIS

Berbeda halnya dengan taman nasional lainnya, penunjukan Taman Nasional Batang Gadis (TNBG) diprakarsai oleh PemerintahDaerah Kabupaten  Mandailing  Natal (Madina). Prakarsa ini tidak terlepas dari  keinginan,  dorongan  dan dukungan dari masyarakat setempat, tokoh-tokoh masyarakat dan lembaga-lembaga swadaya masyarakat bidang lingkungan hidup yang berkeinginan untuk menyelamatkan hutan alam yang masih tersisa dan relatif utuh di Provinsi Sumatera Utara agar dapat mendatangkan manfaat) angka panjang bagi masyarakat setempat dan pemerintah daerah. Pembentukan kawasan konservasi baru di Sumatera semakin penting mengingat hutan alam di pulau ini dalam situasi memprihatinkan, karena pemanfaatan hutan yang tidak berkelanjutan dan salah pengelolaan hutan pada masa lalu.

Inisiatif TNBG sejalan dengan aspirasi masyarakat setempat.  Sudah sejak lama masyarakat Mandailing Natal menjalankan kearifan lokal yang masih bertahan sampai saat ini. Secara tradisional masyarakat telah melindungi hutan alam dan sumber air serta memanfaatkan sumberdaya alam secara bijaksana, misalnya melalui tata cara, lubuk larangan, penataan ruang banua/huta, tempat keramat 'naborgo-borgo' atau 'harangan rarangan' (hutan larangan) yang tidak boleh diganggu dan dirusak.  Dalam pandangan hidup masyarakat Mandailing, air merupakan 'mata air kehidupan' yang bertali-temali dengan institusi sosial, budaya, ekonomi dan ekologis, sehingga harus dilindungi keberadaannya.

 Letak dan Luas 

Taman Nasional Batang Gadis (TNBG) secara administratif berlokasi   di   Kabupaten Mandailing Natal (Madina) Provinsi Sumatera Utara yang meliputi 13 wilayah kecamatan dan bersinggungan dengan 68 desa.  Secara geografis TNBG terletak diantara 99° 12' 45" sampai dengan 99° 47' 10" BT dan 0° 27' 15" sampai dengan 1° Or 57" LU. Nama taman nasional berasal dari nama sungai utama yang mengalir dan membelah Kabupaten Madina, yaitu BatangGadis. TNBG meliputi kawasan seluas 108.000 hektar  atau 26% dari total luas hutan di Kabupaten Madina dan terletak pada kisaran ketinggian 300 sampai 2.145 meter di atas permukaan laut dengan titik tertingginya di puncak gunung berapi Sorik Merapi. Kawasan TNBG seluas 108.000 hektar ini terbentuk dari Kawasan Hutan Lindung, Hutan Produksi Terbatas dan Hutan Produksi Tetap.

Fungsi Kawasan Taman Nasional Batang Gadis

TNBG merupakan bagian dari Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Batang Gadis. DAS ini mempunyai luas 386.455 hektar atau 58,8% dari luas Kabupaten Madina dan sangat penting artinya sebagai penyedia air yang teratur untuk mendukung kelangsungan hidup dan kegiatan perekonomian utama masyarakat, yaitu pertanian.

 Sejarah Pembentukan Taman Nasional Batang Gadis

 Usulan pembentukan TNBG secara formal diajukan kepada Menteri Kehutanan melalui Surat Bupati Madina No. 522/982/Dishut/2003 tertanggal 8 April 2003 dan kepada Gubernur Provinsi Sumatera Utara No. 522/1837/Dishut/2003 tertanggal 16 September 2003 dan No. 522/2036/Dishut/2003 tanggal 29 Oktober 2003. Usulan ini mendapatkan dukungan positif dari pemerintah pusat maupun pemerintah provinsi. Pada bulan Juli 2003, pemerintah pusat telah menugaskan Tim Pengkajian Terpadu yang terdiri dari Departernen Kehutanan, Lembaga llmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, dan Conservation International Indonesia guna mengkaji kelayakan usulan Pemerintah Kabupaten Madina. Dukungan pembentukan TNBG semakin kuat setelah Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Kabupaten Madina memberikan persetujuan melalui Surat No. 170/1145/2003 tertanggal 20 November 2003 dan berbagai unsur masyarakat menyatakan Deklarasi Pembentukan Taman Nasional Batang Gadis pada tanggal 31 Desember 2003.

Keaneka Ragaman Hayati

Hasil survei singkat keanekaragaman hayati yang dilakukan oleh Cl Indonesia selama kurun waktu kurang lebih satu bulan, telah memperlihatkan bahwa kekayaan hayati di Taman Nasional Batang Gadis cukup tinggi. Beragamnya jenis flora dan fauna yang diternui oleh tim survei, cukup untuk menjadikan alasan bahwa kawasan Batang Gadis ini perlu segera dilindungi, guna menekan laju kepunahan flora dan fauna di Taman Nasional Batang Gadis.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian flora, dalam petak penelitian seluas 200 meter persegi terdapat 242 jenis tumbuhan berpembuluh (vascular plant) atau sekitar 1% dari flora yang ada di Indonesia (sekitar 25.000 jenis tumbuhan berpembuluh yang ada di Indonesia). Selain itu, diternukan juga bunga langka dan dilindungi yaitu bunga Padma (Rafflesia sp.) jenis baru. Tingginya nilai kekayaan flora di TNBG menjadikan kawasan ini harus segera dilindungi karena masih banyak jenis-jenis tumbuhan yang belum belum diketahui manfaatnya bagi kehidupan manusia sehingga perlu dikaji lebih lanjut. Melalui perangkap kamera dan penelusuran jejak, tim peneliti berhasil menemukan satwa langka yang dilindungi undang-undang dan konvensi internasional, seperti harimau Sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae),  kambing  hutan (Naemorhedus sumatrensis), tapir (Tapirus indicus), kucing hutan (Catopuma temminckii), kancil (Tragulus javanicus), binturong (Arctitis binturong) beruang madu (Helarctos malayanus), rusa (Cervus unicolor) dan kijang (Muntiacus muntjac)dan landak (Hystix brachyura). Selain itu tim survei berhasil menernukan amfibi tak berkaki (Ichtyopis glutinosa) yang merupakan jenis satwa purba dan katak bertanduk tiga (Megophyris nasuta) yang sudah langka dan merupakan jenis yang hanya dapat dijumpai (endernik) di Sumatera.

Sungai Batang Gadis

Burung Lophura inornata (salvadori pheasant) dan Pitta schneiderii (schneider's pitta) adalah jenis langka dan endernik untuk Sumatera. Jenis tersebut dapat ditemukan kembali  setelah hampir satu abad tidak tercatat dalam Daftar Jenis Burung Sumatera. Jenis burung Carpococcyx radiceus ("Sunda ground-cuckoo) ditemukan kembali untuk kedua kalinya setelah hampir lebih dari satu abad tidak diternukan dalam daftar burung Sumatera. Jenis ini sebelumnya hanya diketahui dari  spesimen di museum pada tahun 1912. Pertama kali jenis ini diternukan di Provinsi Bengkulu pada tahun 2000. 

Tim survei menemukan 6 jenis burung dari keluarga rangkong (Bucerotidae) atau 60% dari total jenis yang diternukan di Pulau Sumatera, diantaranya Buceros rhinoceros, Rhinoplax vigil dan Aceros undulatus. Kehadiran jenis burung ini menunjukan bahwa hutan tropis Taman Nasional Batang Gadis masih sehat untuk berkembangnya  jenis-jenis satwa pemakan buah (frugivor). Banyaknya jenis-jenis rangkong dapat menjadi indikasi bahwa kondisi hutan alam di TNBG masih baik dan masih terdapat hubungan mutualistik (saling menguntungkan.)

Burung Rangkong

Temuan penting lainnya adalah konservasi mikroba endofitik dari jaringan tumbuhan yang hidup di hutan tropis mandailing Natal. Konservasi mikroba endofitik dari hutan tropis di Indonesia belum pernah dilakukan oleh lembaga manapun. Dalam hal ini, tim survei berhasil mengumpulkan sebanyak 1500 jenis mikroba yang terdiri dari bakteri dan kapang.
