TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Tourism and Culture Agency is urged to promote tourism potential in the Thousand Islands. Stretching along the length which is much larger than Jakarta land area, the north coast of the capital is believed to offer more tourism potential.
“Simple things such as, the Tourism Agency can hold a national fishing event, so that people are not always escaping to overseas while tourism in Jakarta still mostly about night life,” said Bestari Barus, a member of REgional Legislative Body of the Jakarta Legislative Council on Tuesday, January 26.
Bestari believes that the tourism can increase Jakarta’s revenue by maximizing the potential of the ocean and islands in Thousand Islands.
“People now having difficulty just to go fishing, the snorkeling spots are also less interesting. Moreover, it is still expensive to rent a boat. Hopefully this will get some attention,” Bestari added.
