The Concepts of the Rinjani Trek Management Board
      The Rinjani Trek is managed by a unique partnership of National Park, tourism industry and the local community. Activities focus in the Community - run cooperatives at Rinjani Trek Centre ( RTC ) in Senaru and the Rinjani Information Centre ( RIC ) in Sembalun Lawang. Under the guidance of the Rinjani Trek Management Board ( RTMB ), each are run by a stakeholders' committee who look after roster systems for guides and porters, village tours, trek trail maintenance, and handicraft sales. Revenue from tourism activities and entry fees is used for conservation, training and management of the Rinjani Trek, thus ensuring sustainability.

       Conceptually, the project started with three stakeholder circles labeled "Park Management", "Community Development" and "Tourism". Whit Project assistance, the Park set out to engage with the stakeholder groups in each of the circles, independently at first and then, as the groups got used to deal with each other, increasingly together. This approach recognized that it takes time for the multi-skilled "cross-over" people that ecotourism requires (people who can operate in between the circles) to emerge.
