Abstract

There have been a great number of research on tourism in Bali. However, research on preventing sex commodities in the tourism industry in the area has only been conducted this time. The novelty of this research lies in the use of customary law to prevent sex commodity-based tourism in Bali. It is recognized that the tourism industry in Bali is proven to be able to improve people’s welfare. But on the other hand, it turns out that it also causes excesses that are very worrying, especially in the legal field of protecting children from trafficking crimes. Due to the massive but covert promotion of sex tourism, the phenomenon of sexual violence against children increases significantly in quantity and quality every year. The main root cause of this phenomenon is structural poverty which is difficult to eradicate. However, in terms of law enforcement in relation to sexual violence against children, the international community has begun to give high appreciation to the enforcement of customary law in Bali in the prevention of prostitution activities. The present research, which was carried out for six months, found the answers to three basic problems, namely: first, this research is directed to answer the problem of how to increase the understanding and legal awareness of the community regarding the consequences of sex tourism which seems to be allowed to happen massively in Bali despite being committed clandestinely; second, this research is directed to answer what efforts are made to develop local laws so as not to accommodate the existence of sex tourism in order to prevent sexual violence against children in Bali; and third, this research is focused on understanding the procedures for applying local laws in order to prevent sex tourism which has an impact on the occurrence of sexual violence against children in Bali. The type of research method used is empirical legal research with a problem approach model of document review, legislation review, field observations, involved participation, and interviews. The data analysis technique used to dissect the problem is qualitative analysis, and the presentation of data is systematic description.
