1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Background of the Study Tourism
is now a global industry involving hundreds of millions of people in international as well as domestic travel
each year. In the early 1980’s, Matthieson
and Wall (1982:1) indicated that tourism comprised: The temporary movement of people to destinations outside
their normal places of work and residence,the
activities undertaken during the stay in those destinations,and the facilities created to cater for their needs.
In 1991, the WTO created a
definition, primarily to assist those whose responsibility it was to compile statistics in
tourism. This definition reads: The activities
of a person travelling outside his or her usual environment for less than a specified period of time whose main purpose of
travel is other than for exercise of an
activity remunerated from the place visited.
Most definitions of the term
tourist are based on the concept of tourism.
Usually, the tourist spend at
least one night in a destination to which he or she has travelled. Tourists can be distinguished from
excursionists in such definitions,as an
excursionist is someone who visit and leaves without staying a night in a destination. However, it is relatively common
today for the two terms to be combined.
The term visitor is often used in preference to either tourist or excursionist.
Generally, Indonesia has many
potencies of tourism object. The potency of tourisms object spreads in all districts in
Indonesia. Every district of tourism object
offers different attraction to the visitors. Therefore the visitors usually
want to come in that district, for
example, in North Sumatera, like Sipiso-piso waterfall, Lake Toba,Samosir island, Brastagi, and the
other interested places.
Some visitors feel interested to
visit some religious place in North Sumatera.
For example, Istana Maimoon, Masjid Raya, Iman Dairi Tourism Park, Church of Annai Velankanni – Medan, Nature
park Lumbini – Brastagi, and the other
religious places. Nature Park Lumbini is one of them. Actually,nature park Lumbini is a pagoda which is a place for
Buddhism to worship, but there are many
people or the visitors feel interested to visit this religious place.
Nature park Lumbini was a new
place to visit at Brastagi-North Sumatra.
It is located in Tongkoh Village,
Dolatrayat district, Karo regency, near the Berastagi Tourism Destination Region, 67
kilometers from medan, North Sumatra.
The architecture was similar with Thailand pagoda, all in gold, also the elephant statue, and the other ornaments. That
is the reason the writer want to discussed
why Nature Park Lumbini can atrract the tourists.
1.2 The Problem of the Study The
problem from this paper is why many people or visitors feel interested to visit Nature Park Lumbini, a pagoda in Brastagi. As we know, Nature Park
Lumbini is a Pagoda,which is a place for
Buddhism to worship. In addition to Buddhism,
many visitors visit this place.
1.3 The Scope of the Study Scope
of the study has important purpose in writing this paper. It used to limit the problem so the topic in this paper is more
focussed. To make the discussion focussed
and isn’t widespread,the writer needs to make scope of the study. The writer just focussed about the Pagoda in
Brastagi,nature park Lumbini can attract the tourisms, not all of the Pagoda in North
Sumatera.
1.4 The Method of the Study 1) Library research Library research needs to
get the information in solving a problem, to fulfill an academic assignment or for our own
purpose. This method is used to find a certain data by collecting some books
that relevant to the theme.
2) Field research Some of the most valuable
information in the world isn’t located in a library or online. Field research is a way of
unearthing that information. Field research
can be an extraordinarily exciting and rewarding experience leading to important discoveries and breakthrough ideas.
It is used by having observation to the
place that we need to know. The writer has done this method by direct observation to nature park Lumbini to get some
information about that pagoda.
1.5 The Reason for Choosing This
Topic The writer has reason for choosing this topic. It is because this topic
is new and exciting, has not been
written by anyone in this program studies. The problem in this topic makes the writer feel interested
to discuss this topic.
1.6 The Purposes of the Study a) To
introduce the reader about the nature park Lumbini as new tourism object in Brastagi.
b) To inform the readers about the reasons of
nature park Lumbini can attract the tourisms.
c) To explain the reader about a little culture
of Buddha.
era as� a @! �" g of time in the novel.The writer chooses this topic to
be analyzed because the writer found that the main idea of this novel is about
the racial discrimination among the race in United States. As it is generally
known, the majority race in this novel is the Whites. The White people as in
this novel have a negative prejudice of
the black people. They have their own
opinion towards the black
people. According to
them, the black people
have no rights
to posses their
own independence. Harriet Beecher
Stowe described the situation of it intelligently.
According to Bowling (2002:21),
racism is the belief that certain groups are innately, biologically, socially,
morally superior to other groups, based upon what is attributed to be their
racial composition.
It can be said that racial
discrimination itself is an unequal treatment based on someone’s race.
The most notable
form of American
racism began with the institution
of slavery, during which Africans were enslaved and treated as property.
Prior to
the institution of
slavery, early African
and non-white immigrants
to the Colonies had
been regarded with
equal status, serving
as sharecroppers alongside whites. After
the institution of
slavery, the status of
Africans was stigmatized
and this stigma was the basis for the more virulent anti-African racism
that persisted until the present. The condition and situation are clearly drawn
by Stowe through Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
According to
the novel, black
people were never
treated well and
always became the victim
of white people
bad treatments. This
novel shows us the
individual experiences which
may portray the
life experience of
the black people living in the United State that were
always afraid of being sold to the slave trade and being sent to the plantation. It describes
the reality that
happened toward black people in United States at the time.
Racial discrimination is strongly
shown in this novel when black people on United
States became slaves and were
sold just because the
prejudice of white people. The black people experienced
many sufferings and miseries because of the racial discrimination such as
seperated away from their family, physical mistreat, and the human trade.
In the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin by
Harriet Beecher Stowe, the writer found racial
discrimination is the
dominant theme of
the novel. This
dominant theme is very
interesting for the
writer to choose
the novel to be
analyzed. As racial discrimination is one of big problem
which occurs in American society until present time, the writer decides to make
further analysis upon the racial discrimination.

are going to be analyzed to get the

problem above that have been decided: 1. To portray the
