A thesis examination was held by Aquilio Pereira at 10.00-12.00 WIB offline in Building J Room 305 FPIK Undip. The thesis examination is the final stage in completing studies in the Master’s Program so it is carried out behind closed doors to determine student graduation.
The thesis exam that has been presented is entitled “Management of Potential Marine Ecotourism Attractions Seen from the Local Wisdom of Tara Bandu on Ataúro Island, Timor Leste”. Based on the results of the thesis research, Brother Aquilio explained that Ataúro Island is said to be still far from what it should be because the government as a policy maker and facilitator seems to be going it alone in terms of tourism management. Apart from that, there are also heritage places from Portugal, Japan, namely underground prisons, caves, hot springs. The people of Ataúro island are reviving traditional land management regulations known as Tara Bandu. The application of these regulations is to develop community-based tourism, with Tara Bandu’s goal of preserving coral reefs with the most biodiversity.
The exam was attended by Dr. Ir. Suryanti, M. Pi. (Supervisor 1), Prof. Dr. Dian Wijayanto, SPi, M.M., M.S.E (Supervisor 2), Dr. Ir.
