TEMPO.CO, Paris - Tasikmalaya Regency is currently studying the plan to build an integrated geopark at Mount Galunggung which is the potential for a new tourist destination.
“[We’re] still studying the plan,” said the acting chief of Tasikmalaya Regency tourism and culture department, Nana Heryana, Friday, October 30.
The construction of the long-planned geopark is targeted to finish in two to three years and it is hoped to be able to boost tourist visits to Tasikmalaya.
According to Nana, the future Galunggung geopark will further develop various natural potential such as rock cliffs, volcanic crater, natural hot spring, and waterfalls.
