JAKARTA - Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) is crowded with tens of thousands of visitors to D+1 Eid Al-Fitr 1444 Hijri. This increase is much higher than the average visit on weekdays.

Public Relations of TMII Novera Mayang Sari said that on D+1 Lebaran, the location reached 20 thousand visitors. Meanwhile, on the first and second days of Eid, TMII was visited by around 27-28 thousand people.

The event, which was specifically held to welcome the Lebaran 2023 holiday "Dendang Riang Lebaran: Uras Rindu Meet", contributed to the increase in the number of TMII visits. The event contains variety of show attractions, such as dendang children's songs, musical performances, songs, regional dances and fairy tales of the archipelago.

In addition, visitors can also buy handicrafts and food from MSMEs scattered at several points in TMII. "With the enthusiasm of extraordinary visitors, this (Dendang Riang Lebaran's show) is interesting because not every day we can enjoy entertainment like this," said Mayang quoting Antara.

The event "Dendang Riang Lebaran: Uras Rindu Meet" at TMII will last until April 30. The performances will be different every day and will represent ethnicity and culture from each region in Indonesia.

With ticket prices priced at Rp. 25,000 per person, visitors can enjoy attractive spots in TMII, such as the Indonesian Museum and bridges from various tribes in Indonesia. Especially for the Eid 2023 holiday, TMII is open from 06:00 p.m.

Visitors can tour TMII for 15 minutes on free electric buses provided by the manager. The policy was carried out as a follow-up to the not allowing motorized vehicles to enter the area within TMII.

The TMII manager only allows electric vehicles to operate inside tourist attractions.

Taman Mini sekarang (mengusung) konsep baru, kita menerapkan Green Zone. Tidak ada kendaraan yang masuk, hanya menggunakan bus listrik," ujar Mayang.

Green Zone is an idea that is initiated to implement environmentally friendly vehicles as well as to minimize vehicles entering tourist areas so that children can be more flexible to carry out activities within TMII. One of the visitors to TMII, Neneng from Cikarang admitted that every year he routinely visits TMII. In addition, he wants to know what changes are in TMII after being renovated a few months ago. "If the change problem becomes good, it doesn't get stuck," said Neneng.

Neneng said TMII is still his favorite destination with his family because of the interactive rides at TMII, one of which is the Indonesian Museum. There, visitors can see an exhibition of Indonesian traditional musical instruments while trying to play them.

TMII has a vision and mission to become a place of public education as well as a mini-Indonesian laboratory, as Mayang has said.
