At that time, tourist business was new to the local people, they just copied "Lovina". They
simply think to be successful in the tourist business they must use the name "Lovina"
otherwise their business would be out. Lovina was so overwhelming and taking in a
number of six or more "native villages", i.e. Kalibukbuk, Anturan, Tukadmungga,
Pemaron, and Temukus and of course, its birthplace Tukadcebol (Kaliasem) bound
together under the name "Lovina Beach Resort". Until now, Lovina is still copied freely
and used by the people without knowing its origin.
When tourism flourished in Bali around 1970, the one and only destination spot in
Northern Coast of Bali was Lovina. The little Lovina  and the home stays were filled with
visitors. The result was obvious. Many tourist facilities like hotels, restaurants and others
were set up spontaneously around the villages of Kaliasem and Kalibukbuk, to
accommodate the tourists.
"Lovina" rapidly gained its popularity inside and outside the country because Pandji Tisna
was a novelist as well as a columnist with some foreign publications. Immediately Pandji
Tisna was taking in guest. Followed by Pandji Tisna's youngsters another lodging or the
so called "home stays" were built close by, Hotel Tasik Madu, Manggala Homestay and
Ayodia Accommodation. In turn, Lovina Beach Hotel was extensively renovated.
