TEMPO.CO, Gerung West Lombok - West Lombok Tourism Agency, West Nusa Tenggara or NTB, launched 'Ayo ke Lombok' (Let's Go to Lombok) mobile application to ease tourists to find tourism information in the region. The launching event coincided with the 63rd anniversary of the regency which is celebrated every April 17.

The mobile app has five information directories, namely lodging, tourist destinations, culinary delights, various creative economy products, and transportation. In the lodging feature, tourists can find out about hotel services, homestays, bungalows, or other types of stay. The tourist destination category contains various tourist objects and tourist villages in the regency.
