 HISTORY OF NUSA DUAThe Nusa Dua Concept calls for the development of cultural tourism, and protection of the Balinese people and the island's resources, by the creation of a self-contained resort on under-populated and under-productive land. A brief HISTORY : 1960's In the late 1960's Nusa Dua was an obscure strip of coast on Bali's southern Bukit Peninsula, with striking white sand beaches and two peninsular islets. Nusa Dua means "two islands". Behind the coconut groves, the villagers of Bualu were barely surviving. They used to take the long and arduous journey to Denpasar, to barter their salt or coconuts for rice. The arid soil was unsuitable for growing much besides coconut palms. There were no roads, market or electricity. Food and freshwater were scarce. 1970's In 1970 the government engaged a French firm of consultants, the Société Centrale pour l'equipment Touristique Outre-Mer (SCETO) to devise a master plan for the development of tourism in Bali in a sustainable manner. The SCETO plan proposed a self-contained resort complex by the sea, removed from the main population centres to minimise the impact of tourism on Balinese culture. The site they proposed was Nusa Dua. |
