Representation of Mooi Indie in Nature-Based Tourism: Development of Tourism in Bandung from 1925 to 1941
摘要
This chapter investigates the role of the social organization Bandoeng Vooruit in developing urban tourism, especially modern urban tourism from 1925 to 1941 in Bandung. In addition, it provides an overview of the history of tourism in Bandung and develops a historical study of Indonesian tourism in general. The primary sources of this study are the monthly magazine Mooi Bandoeng, published by Bandoeng Vooruit, and travel guidebooks (wandelgids). The results show that Bandoeng Vooruit played an important role in developing the pattern of modern urban tourism activities in Bandung. The chapter argues that Bandoeng Vooruit had a significant role in urban place-making in Bandung and shows that urban development in colonial Indonesia was not always a top-down state program.
