Baucau Beaches Development Group Background
Baucau Beaches Development Group (Group) is the following group of social
companies being established to generate sustainable opportunities for coastal
communities in the North Eastern rural region of the Democratic Republic of Timor-
Leste. This is a rural community-based demand driven private sector development
partnership initiative for the 2011-30 Strategic Development Plan and the 5th
Constitutional Government of Timor-Leste.
Baucau Beaches
Developing Baucau Beaches as an indigenous marine eco-tourism destination
development company. Building the Baucau Beaches ‘Coral Triangles Hotspot’
destination brand locally to globally as a social enterprise development partnership of
the Timor-Leste Ministry of Tourism, this is a practical demonstration development of
‘high value – low volume’ community-based indigenous marine eco-tourism.
Business activities include reforesting the coast to developing premium dive tourism
where community economic, cultural and environmental heritage sustainability
development opportunity is optimized.
Timor Photography
Timor Photography is a community-based enterprise that is developing the image &
film destination brand of Baucau Beaches and Timor-Leste Tourism. Community
trainee photographers are developing long-term industry skills to generate
professional photographic, film, media, marketing and heritage employment
opportunities.
Wataboo Resort
A community-based eco-tourism dive resort proposed for development in 2014.
Baucau Beaches has developed successful tour, food and beverage services that will
now expand to meet high visitor demands for up market accommodation. Wata Boo
Resort will allow other Baucau Beaches and national coastal communities to apply
the same community based tourism development business model as a national
tourism demonstration business.
Inbound Timor
In 2014, Inbound Timor will become the international holiday and tourism wholesale
business of Baucau Beaches and assist the Ministry of Tourism in packaging inbound
visitor services.
MADE IN TIMOR
MADE IN TIMOR will develop value added and sustainable niche local products that
complement the international significance of Baucau Beaches marine, watershed,
biodiversity and indigenous heritage. For example, by adding value to coconut
plantation forestation with coastal communities for tourism, the development of
premium coconut products from water, to cream to extra virgin oil, will increase value
of coconut plantations, including those families who may not directly benefit from
tourism products.
Timor Seafood will assist Baucau fisher communities to move away from the present
unsustainable fishing and foraging livelihoods, to commercial fishing sustainably
targeting pelagic and trap fishing to compete with illegal foreign fishing and imported
seafood. Aquaculture will also be developed to meet demands as Timor-Leste’s fish
stocks become unsustainable.
Millions in economic leakages are experienced in Timor-Leste to illegal fishing and
importation of seafood. There are high demands for emerging domestic seafood
needs from school feeding to increasing national food security with seafood protein
across Timor-Leste.
Timor Seafood will play an important role for women to participate in the industry with
the processing of fish presently predominantly caught by men. Larger vessels
crewed by several families and technology also offers greater opportunities for
women to become commercial fishers.
Timor Maritime College
Timor Maritime College was established in 2009 and continues to provide
international maritime and oil and gas workforce development skills, experience and
interest benefiting many communities across the country. All training is undertaken
for real employment, livelihood, community, workforce and industry development
outcomes.
Timor Crew
A crew development and resource project management service supporting Timor
Maritime College, Timor Crew will establish in 2014 to optimize Timor-Leste local
content opportunities for Timorese to work in the international seafaring, offshore oil,
gas and flight attendant industries.

Matebian Mountain - Souls of Death.
The name of Timor’s second highest mountain means ‘Mountain of Souls’. It’s a sacred place where Timorese believe the spirits of their ancestors reside. Pip’s Tetun teacher warned her that terrible things might befall us if we ‘greeted’ any animals or pointed out the scenery.
Sometimes Matebian is referred to as the Mountain of Death. Japanese forces, who occupied Timor during World War II, created a vast system of caves and tunnels in the area for their camps and arsenals, and killed many people there. The Indonesians did the same when the mountain became the stronghold of Falintil, the Timorese resistance movement.
After the Indonesian invasion in 1975, around 20,000 Timorese took sanctuary on Matebian, among them the parents and grandfather of a workmate. Staying on the lowlands meant accepting Indonesian rule, he told me. But after three-and-a-half years, hunger forced his family down off the mountain.
