Abstract
Bali tourism has had an effect on all aspects of Balinese society by making Bali vulnerable to security issues. The evidence of that occurred when the Bali bombing tragedy happened on 12 October 2002 and October 2005, when bombs rocked the tourism sector is confirmed by a decrease in the number of tourists.

Kemungkinan tidak pernah terbayangkan sebelumnya bahwa keamanan dan kenyamanan berhubungan erat dengan citra pariwisata Bali. Bali sebagai pulau dewata disamping keunikan budaya yang melegenda juga dihantui oleh bayang-bayang ancaman dari dalam maupun luar terkait dengan keamanan. Keamananan bukan saja tanggungjawab pihak kepolisian, Satpam, stakeholders pariwisata, dan masyarakat lokal secara parsial, melainkan peran serta segenap komponen harus menjadi trend dan kewajiban dalam upaya semakin meningkatkan rasa keamanan dan kenyamanan bagi wisatawan dan seluruh masyarakat Bali yang sangat mengandalkan sektor pariwisata.

Mulai maraknya aksi premanisme sampai tahun 2008 di Bali, mendorong dilakukan penelitian tentang premanisme dan pariwisata. Hasil penelitian ini tampak berkorelasi kuat dengan perkembangan aksi-aksi premanisme atau mungkin tindak kejahatan sejenis sampai tahun 2018. Intinya adalah kesadaran kolektif bahwa  keamanan pariwisata di Bali mutlak menjadi kunci keberlanjutan pariwisata Bali di masa depan. Untuk itu, upaya penanganannya harus bersifat sinergis dan bukan reaktif karena ternyata keamanan pariwisata di Bali semakin kompleks yang tidak hanya berkaitan dengan faktor kriminal-ekonomi, psikologis, sosiologis maupun antropologis. Melainkan oleh multifaktor yang mengarah kepada faktor politik mempertahankan kekuatan dan kekuasaan.

Sebagai destinasi wisata utama dunia, Kuta seharusnya aman dan nyaman bagi para wisatawan. Terutama terkait dengan tindak kriminal sedapat mungkin harus diantisipasi oleh para stakeholders, aparat keamanan wisatawan dan masyarakat. Jika tidak tanggap maka akan berpengaruh terhadap citra pariwisata Kuta ke depan.

The results showed that of the total tourist village in Badung, only two villages has been running activity tourist village, which is a tourist village in the hamlet Comedy, Turn Sidan Village, and in the Hamlet Kiadan, Plaga Village. Many of the problems faced by managers of tourist village of the Group of Tourism Awareness (Pokdarwis) in each village, like a weak understanding of the tourist village, the support of local governments that have not been integrated together stakeholders of tourism, finance, the potential of which has not been developed to the maximum, and the development of a tourist attraction without proper planning. Another important finding is confusion tourist village and tourist attraction, so at the application level tourist villages that already has a tourist attraction has been established, will be lifted name, but in real tourism activities are carried out precisely focused to a tourist attraction that exist in the village. So the tourist products offered by Pokdarwis, rarely touched even many tourist villages that do not have tourist products and attractions.

Sejak diakuinya ilmu pariwisata sebagai ilmu pengetahuan di Indonesia, maka pada tahun 2008 di-launching Fakultas Pariwisata, Universitas Udayana, Bali oleh Presiden RI Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, sebagai satu-satunya Fakultas Pariwisata di Indonesia. Setelah perjuangan bertahun-tahun untuk mendapatkan pengakuan secara akademis akhirnya ilmu pariwisata menjadi ilmu yang mandiri setara dengan ilmu-ilmu pengetahuan lain yang sudah puluhan bahkan ratusan tahun diakui eksistensi keilmuannya secara akademis maupun praktis (Suryawan dan Mahagangga, 2017).
Wacana tentang keilmuan pariwisata di Indonesia dilontarkan pertama kali pada awal 1980-an. Terkait rencana pendirian Program Studi Ilmu Kepariwisataan (PSIK) di Universitas Udayana pada tahun 1985. Diadakan seminar tentang keilmuan pariwisata di tingkat universitas dengan menghadirkan ilmuan Indonesia dari berbagai disiplin ilmu. Para pakar yang berbicara antara lain pakar Filsafat Ilmu Prof. Jujun Suryakusumantri, Sosiolog Prof. Dr. Selo Sumardjan, Pakar Pendidikan Prof. Ketut Rindjin dan Antropolog Prof. Dr. I Gusti Ngurah Bagus ketika itu bersepakat bahwa pariwisata adalah suatu disiplin ilmu. Setelah mengalami proses panjang, pada tahun 2008 akhirnya pariwisata diakuai sebagai ilmu pariwisata.
Pengakuan secara nasional tersebut, menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi para akademisi pariwisata khususnya secara keilmuan untuk lebih banyak berbuat daripada berbangga. Fenomena kepariwisataan sangat kompleks dan ketika diakui sebagai ilmu pengetahuan (science) atau disiplin ilmu (berbeda dengan tourism studies / tourism study yang diartikan sebatas kajian atau belum sepenuhnya sebagai ilmu mandiri) maka dituntut untuk memperdalam dan memperkuat kemampuan pengajaran, penelitian dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat sesuai dengan amanat Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia. Diketahui bersama kelahiran suatu ilmu pengetahuan atau disiplin ilmu di dorong oleh kompleksitas suatu fenomena yang memerlukan jalan keluar permasalahan- permasalahan kehidupan yang dihadapi manusia dan masyarakat (selain tuntutan aspek akademis). Sehingga jika menginginkan ilmu pariwisata diakui eksistensinya, harus mengikuti perkembangan aspek-aspek yang menjadi ontologinya, baik secara obyek formal maupun obyek material. Logika berpikir sederhananya adalah para akademisi ilmu pariwisata harus meningkatkan kuantitas-kualitas pengajaran, berbasis kepada hasil- hasil penelitian dan novelty terbaru (publikasi ilmiah) serta berupaya mengamalkan hasil- hasil temuannya tersebut (aspek praktis). Agar mampu diwujudkan sebagai pengabdian kepada masyarakat berupa produk, inovasi maupun komponen lainnya sebagai implementasi Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi.

Isu perkembangan pariwisata di Indonesia masih dikacaukan dengan isu pengembangan pariwisata karena dianggap serupa. Padahal terdapat perbedaan mendasar antara perkembangan dan pengembangan. Buku ini berupaya meluruskan perbedaan tersebut bahwa perkembangan memiliki kaitan erat dengan histori dan pengembangan seharusnya berbasis kepada perkembangan. Perkembangan pariwisata sebagai turismemorfosis / tourismmorphosis (Anom, dkk., 2017) mengambil studi kasus perkembangan pariwisata di kabuapten Badung yang sudah berada pada tahap kompromi, perkembangan pariwisata di kabupaten Banyuwangi masih pada tahap pelembagaan dan perkembangan pariwisata di kabupaten Luwu Timur baru pada tahap pengenalan.
