Dipaparkannya, di Danau Batur saat ini sudah
banyak terdapat fasilitas pariwisata meliputi
akomodasi termasuk restoran. Sarana dan fasilitas
pariwisata tersebut juga sangat mendukung
keberlangsungan kegiatan wisata bahari. Wisatawan
selain mengikuti kegiatan wisata bahari, Mereka jugabisa menginap, makan, dan minum di lingkungan
hotel, vila atau pondok wisata di seputar Danau
Batur. Kegiatan wisata bahari bisa menunjang daya
tarik objek wisata Danau Batur , ucapnya.Ditegaskannya, pengusaha lokal memiliki peluang
untuk menginvestasikan modalnya dalam wisata
birahi di Danau Batur. Selain Danau Batur, wisata
bahari ini juga dikembangkan di Danau Buyan,
Danau Bratan sesuai dengan potensi masing-masing.Diakuinya, risiko pengembangan wisata bahari di laut
lebih berat ketimbang di darat. Pengaruh alam
seperti cuaca di laut lebih ektrim ketimbang di darat.
Terkadang ombak besar dan angin kencang menjadipenyebab pembatalan termasuk kecelakaan dalamkegiatan wisata bahari di laut.
Berbeda di kawasan Danau yang airnya relatif
tenang. Risiko kecelakaan dalam kegiatan wisata
bahari danau relatif lebih kecil. Walaupun demikian,
kegiatan wisata bahari seperti di Danau Batur juga
wajib menggunakan peralatan keamanan sesuaistandar internasional............... (By Bisnisbali)
