		<description>Just another sad example where intellectually limited officials feel they have to comment on something they don't even have a basic understanding about. This construction of "borrowing" the name of a local as a front for a business is a consequence of stupid Indonesian investment regulations. "Yes, we want your investment but don't even think about controlling what happens with your money..." It is also a consequence of the fact that there are simply not enough Indonesians who have the ability to run a financially healthy and safe (!) diving operation. Kick out all the foreign dive operations and Indonesia will see another big number of tourists avoiding the country and going to Thailand or Malaysia instead.
 
It should also be noted that this construction in almost all cases is a big risk for the foreigner. I know of dozens of cases where the Indonesian "front" has managed to get rid of his/her foreign partner and take over the business himself/herself - without ever having invested a single Rupiah - only to run it aground in most cases within just a few months.</description>

Development of holiday infrastructure like hotels and villas often ignore environmental impact. Government involvement to enforce environmental regulation is needed, unfortunately corrupt officials often do the opposite for personal benefit....</description>
