abstract: 'The purpose of this paper is to discuss potential of the Orang Asli
|
|
|
|
(Indigenous people) communities in Malaysia to escape from poverty
|
|
|
|
through tourism activity. Poor and poverty are identified as key
|
|
|
|
challenges in developing effective Orang Asli communities. The high
|
|
|
|
level of poverty is closely related to the type of work, the problem of
|
|
|
|
land ownership status and low education levels among Orang Asli
|
|
|
|
communities. These problems not only hinder the development process, but
|
|
|
|
also being obstacle to the integration effort of Orang Asli cluster with
|
|
|
|
the current national progress as achieved by other ethnics (Malay,
|
|
|
|
Chinese, Indian). Majority of the Orang Asli who live in rural areas are
|
|
|
|
still relying to the traditional economic system which focuses to
|
|
|
|
self-sufficiency and dependence on forest resources for survival. These
|
|
|
|
economic resources are seen could not guarantee employment and good and
|
|
|
|
stable income to them due to low market prices or defrauded by a middle
|
|
|
|
man who controls the price of goods sold. Besides that, other problems
|
|
|
|
arise among Orang Asli are migrations many of the youth to city area due
|
|
|
|
to lack of job opportunities that could ensure their future. `Pro-Poor
|
|
|
|
Tourism'' (PPT) is an approach that aims to use tourism medium as a
|
|
|
|
strategic method to reduce poverty among the marginalized communities.
|
|
|
|
PPT implemented in many developing countries as a way to improve the
|
|
|
|
local economy by providing employment or micro enterprise spaces. To
|
|
|
|
ensure the success of this approach, specific rules should be identified
|
|
|
|
in which tourism businesses and tourists are directly and indirectly can
|
|
|
|
be developed to generate benefits for the poor. This is because the PPT
|
|
|
|
is defined as tourism that provides a net benefit to the poor. PPT is a
|
|
|
|
holistic approach to tourism development and management aimed in giving
|
|
|
|
opportunities for the poor to get benefit from it. In addition, tourism
|
|
|
|
has an advantage compared to other sectors in its ability to reduce
|
|
|
|
poverty. This is clearly proof that tourism is a diverse industry and
|
|
|
|
has more room for participation, especially from the informal and small
|
|
|
|
sector. Through tourism, the customers are welcome to buy products and
|
|
|
|
at the same time could offer opportunities to extend the market and
|
|
|
|
sales and to establish networks. Tourism products can be developed
|
|
|
|
through the nature resources and cultural goods that are priceless asset
|
|
|
|
that belong to the poor. However, the Orang Asli communities hardly
|
|
|
|
understand on how the assets could be commercialized and the benefits
|
|
|
|
that can be generated via their own assets. On awareness that poverty
|
|
|
|
should be eradicated and not inherited, the tourism sector through the
|
|
|
|
PPT approach is believe could be a source of income, particularly for
|
|
|
|
Orang Asli communities and other communities in general. Therefore, this
|
|
|
|
study is carried out to produce a conceptual framework of implementation
|
|
|
|
of PPT to help reduce, and eventually stop the poverty among Orang Asli
|
|
|
|
Communities. Through the framework, it is hoped could be a reference for
|
|
|
|
the Orang Asli communities to be involved in the new job sector and
|
|
|
|
ensuring they would gain a better source of income.'
