East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa invited residents to fill the long holiday of Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijri by traveling to picnic destinations in East Java.

"To my children who are starting to enter school holidays, in East Java there are many destinations that can be visited. Not only tourism, but also many are also educational facilities," he said in Surabaya, quoted from Antara, Saturday, June 24.

The governor said that East Java has many favorite tourist destinations, including the Ijen Crater and Mount Bromo.

"To the west again, there are Malang, Malang City, and Batu City Regencies which have natural to artificial tourist destinations with digital technology suitable for children, youth and families," he said.

In addition, he continued, there is a Sarangan Telaga tourist attraction on the slopes of Mount Lawu, Plaosan District, Magetan Regency, and Mount Kelud in Kediri.

"In Telaga Sarangan there is a boat rental service and a water rickshaw that can be used to explore the lake," he said.

Residents who want to enjoy the beach can visit Gema Beach in Tulungagung and Prigi and Mutiara in Trenggalek via the South Ring Road with a good view.

Meanwhile, Bahari Lamongan Tourism (WBL) can be a tourist destination option for residents living in the coastal area north of East Java.

Khofifah said that Delegan Gresik Beach can also be a choice for families who want to enjoy the beach atmosphere during the holidays.

"Then there is also the Surabaya Zoo, which offers animal education tourism, which is currently also equipped with the Surabaya Night Zoo," he said.

"Also, what is no less interesting is Gili Iyang in Sumenep Regency, which is known as an oxygen island," he added.
