Leaf Up

In the hundred days of Yuli's leadership as a kades, he then began to build a tourist spot. In the process of building a village tourist spot, there are only small gravels that are enough to disturb the concentration of Yuli in work. This is due to the voices of some residents who consider Yuli's decision to build a waterpark/village tour is not appropriate. They say “in the corners of the village like this, where there are people who want to travel.”

Although the slanted tone of them often echoed, but Yuli remained calm in response to the scorn of some residents. For Yuli, the decision of deliberations with BPD members and community leaders to build the economy in the village must still be implemented as well as possible. Work and work is the best way for Yuli to answer the doubts of some residents.

One year later

In the first year of Yuli's leadership as the village head, Yuli's integrity as the village head began to appear in the eyes of the public. Two swimming pools for children and adults surrounded by various rides of the game he managed to wake up very beautifully. The new tourist destination is now the spearhead of Bumdes to boost the village's economic growth.

Over time, the tourist destination of the village, increasingly crowded visited by tourists from various other regions. And the increase of tourists visiting village tourism, usually occurs on every weekend, namely saturday, Sunday and during school holidays. The weekend moment and national holiday seemed to be the harvest time for Bumdes, because on that day a lot of tourists who visit village tourism. In addition to motorists, many car and bus groups that bring groups of students from kindergarten, primary and secondary schools also vacation to the tourist attractions.

The price of entrance ticket for village tourism is Rp.10,000;00 (ten thousand rupiah) per person, apparently being an alternative choice of residents from other villages flocked to come on tour in the village. Tricks with ticket rates are quite cheap, apparently managed to suck the tourists berubal meet village tourism.

Accumulated results from the sale of admission to tourist attractions, parking tickets, and sales of drinks and snacks in shops and canteens owned by Bumdes was increasingly multiplied results. In the first year since the opening of the tourist attractions, Bumdes year-end report has made money the remaining results of his business of five hundred million. A pretty stunning result for the village who just pioneered the Village Owned Business Entity through the village tourist route.

The remaining allocation of Bumdes's business results of 500 million, 20 percent for the village government, 10 percent for the poor, and 30 percent for Bumdes administrators and employees, 30 percent for the addition of Bumdes' capital, 10 Percent as a reserve fund and education.

Given that Bumdes wants to develop a new type of business, then Yuli as the village head with legowo then returned the shu funds of 20 percent to Bumdes. Yuli's support to Bumdes apparently did not stop there, he was even ready to pour funds from the village government to open a new branch of the next Bumdes business.

This cannot be separated from the role of Galih the chairman of Bumdes who is quite good at regulating the rental mechanism. In the pujasera stand rental strategy, Galih applies a pretty telling strategy that is: Every trader in pujasera is subject to a rental fee of Rp. 100,000;00 (one hundred thousand rupiahs) per month. And daily rent of Rp. 15. 000;00 (fifteen thousand rupiah) for each trader who sells at the stand. But if the sword is a holiday or leave of sale, then they are not charged a daily rental fee.

With the rental model, Bumdes can even reap double the profits compared to the way the pujasera stand rental on an annual basis.

As the chairman of Bumdes, Galih not only thought about the benefits for the village, but he also thought that poets were always visited by buyers. Galih also applies the strategy of watching movies together in the pujasera court every weekend. In this case Galih uses the projector and the village's big screen.

In addition to the up-to-date film that Galih plays every week, Galih also sometimes plays films with the theme of struggle to arouse the youth to always love the nation and homeland of Indonesia. At certain times, the youth and citizens are also quite enthusiastic about watching the ball, both the Asian Games championship, la liga, copa and even the world cup. The strategy that Galih applies seems to be quite successful, so that traders in the pujasera can reap two or three times the results every time there is a festival watching together.

Bumdes with village tourism icons and pojasera, in addition to being able to increase the village's economic income, also absorb a lot of labor. And with the continued increase of the Bumdes program, many young people and village girls work in tourist attractions under the auspices of Bumdes.

Although relatively new, the mothers apparently quite good at being traders in the pujasera. Moreover, there are many choices of food menus in pujasera that they offer, ranging from soto, meatballs, duck rice, fried rice, pecel rice, goat satay and various chocolate ice drinks, among others, coffee and milk are offered to existing visitors. With this business activity, the economy of the villagers began to increase in level.

Sumber Balong Village is now increasingly crowded like a small town with a tickle of economic activities in the pujasera. Every three o'clock in the afternoon until evening, all the trading stalls in the pujasera are always crowded with buyers. This cannot be separated from the coordination of the chairman of Bumdes to traders so that they want to sell different food menus in the pujasera. The number of variants of the dining menu according to taste offered to the visitors, the sellers in the pujasera field also live in harmony without any significant competition.
