SUKABUMI - Lebaran holidays have ended but tourists from various areas such as Jabodetabek, Sukabumi City, Cianjur Regency and Bandung, are still crowding the southern coast tourist attractions in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, on Saturday.

"Tourist arrivals have started to occur from 08.00 WIB, although they are not as crowded as on D+1 to D+3 celebrations of Eid al-Fitr 1444 H, but when compared to usual weekend holidays, currently there are far more," said the chairman of the Sukabumi Regency Regional SAR Coordination Forum (FKSD) Okih Pajri in Sukabumi, Saturday quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, April 29.

From observations at the location, tourist vehicles that come to various tourist attractions on the south coast are dominated by two-wheeled vehicles, even quite a lot of tourists who come to the mainstay tourist destination of the Sukabumi Regency Government using a pickup truck.

At a number of road points, traffic flow was observed to be busy, such as at Simpang Tiga Bagbagan and Simpang Tiga Gunungbutak, Palabuhanratu District to the Karanghawu Beach tourist route, Cisolok District.

However, the number of vehicles entering various beach points did not cause a buildup of vehicles. It does not rule out the possibility that tourist arrivals to the Unesco Global Geopark area of Ciletuh Palabuhanratu will continue to grow by noon until the afternoon.

There are still high numbers of tourists who come to this tourist attraction because schools are still off, so they are used to spend holidays by traveling to the beach.

At the location, it was seen that joint officers had been on standby since morning to regulate traffic flow on tourist routes, and to anticipate a surge in the volume of tourist vehicles.

Contacted separately, Sukabumi Police Chief AKBP Maruly Padede said that traffic flow engineering around coastal tourist attractions was carried out conditionally. But for now the traffic flow is still smooth.
