JAKARTA - West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil or familiarly called Kang Emil, is optimistic that tourism in Sukabumi Regency can be the best and largest in West Java and even worldwide.

"Sukabumi Regency has a myriad of qualified natural attractions, plus the existence of the Unesco Global Geopark Ciletuh Palabuhanratu (UGCCP) which not all regions and even countries have and of course its existence must be maintained, because we believe the world of tourism in Sukabumi Regency will be more global," said Kang Emil , quoted from Antara, Friday 11 February.

According to Kang Emil, this UGGCP tourist attraction has an international standard and has received recognition from a special agency of the United Nations (UN), namely the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), so of course this Global Geopark title must be maintained.

In defending the title, all elements must be involved, not only the government (West Java Provincial Government and Sukabumi Regency Government), but the community, communities and other institutions must also participate in maintaining its sustainability from damage and the existence of this UGGCP must also be able to boost the economy of the surrounding community.

Therefore, as a commitment to Unesco, the West Java Provincial Government and the Sukabumi Regency Government are currently making improvements such as structuring and repairing various facilities so that the Global Geopark title remains embedded in this Sukabumi Regency pride tourist attraction.

He continued, Unesco also gave a deadline to complete various requirements, so from revitalization it was continuously carried out to defend the Unesco Global Geopark title because every certification has a period of time.

"The existence of this UGGCP has been ogled by travelers from various countries and it is hoped that in the future the economy can increase, the world of tourism is more advanced, COVID-19 is receding, making Sukabumi Regency the best and largest natural tourist destination and increasingly global," he added.

Kang Emil said that his party will also continue to help promote tourist attractions in Sukabumi Regency so that they are better known at the provincial, national and international levels.
