BOGOR - Mayor of Bogor, Dedie A. Rachim emphasized the importance of the spirit of collaboration and concern for the environment in the celebration of the 543rd Bogor Anniversary (HJB) in 2025.
This was conveyed in the kick-off of the launch of the HJB logo and theme which took place at Paseban Sri Baduga, Bogor City Hall, Wednesday, May 14.
Dedie Rachim said that the launch of the logo earlier was an effort to build a spirit of togetherness and foster a sense of belonging to the city's important moments.
This year we started with the launch of the logo so that all elements of society can be involved more widely. That way, there is the value of togetherness, sense of belonging, and enthusiasm together to celebrate this HJB with solidarity," said Dedie Rachim.
The 543rd HJB carries the theme 'Raksa Jagaditha', which philosophically means maintaining the balance of the earth for mutual welfare. This theme was chosen to emphasize to the public the importance of protecting the earth so that it then uses it as a form of effort to improve welfare.
Ini merupakan tema yang luar biasa. Tujuannya adalah untuk meningkatkan rasa kecintasan masyarakat kepada Kota Bogor dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan mereka," ucap Dedie Rachim.
Dedie Rachim also revealed that the HJB series will take place throughout June, with a total of 13 activities culminating in cultural heritage on June 28. In addition, he also conveyed the Bogor City Government (Pemkot)'s efforts to reopen public access to the Bogor Palace, as part of the main tourist attraction in the City of Rain.
He hopes that this activity can become a space for broad participation for the community and encourage the economic cycle of the region, especially the tourism, culinary, and entertainment sectors.
Bogor receives around 12 million tourist visits each year, mostly from local tourists. With this event, we hope that the visit period can be longer and their spending will increase, especially in the midst of efficiency conditions," he said.
