Abstract

Bali has many rich natural resources to be developed as tourism sites and attractions supporting
the major cultural attractions as stipulated in the state rules. The research explores the
significance of Batur Natural Hot Spring Water as one of nature-based tourism sites in Bali in
enriching tourist experiences where they can be relaxed while engaging with an authentic and
natural atmosphere, healing numerous diseases traditionally and alleviating the poverty of the
locals. Current national and regional tourism policies are analysed against this backdrop, and
semi-structured interviews were conducted with the management of the site, local people and
tourists in order to comprehend the way the management works to prepare and serve a
convenient tourism site for relaxing, healing as well as empowering and alleviating the poverty of
the local people.
