Sahrul wants a place or location where business people can gather to become a tourism attraction for Bandung Regency.

"My dream is that I want a building that can accommodate business people in the future, and it is related to tourism, because now there needs to be a priority scale in development, God willing, it can actually happen in the future," he continued.
