JAKARTA - Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) will be grand opening in September. Currently, TMII has opened, but it is still limited.

InJourney Tourism Marketing and Program Director Maya Watono said President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) would inaugurate TMII. However, Maya admitted that she had not yet got the exact date. As is known, previously the government revitalized TMII.

"For the exact date, we have not confirmed it. But it is true that it is possible in early September. Wait for the game date we have not received confirmation. We are waiting," Maya said during a press conference at TMII, Jakarta, Thursday, August 24.

Maya said, InJourney as the holding company for tourism SOEs and supporters has a big task of maximizing Indonesia's tourism potential. One of them is by revitalizing TMII.

After the revitalization, TMII now presents various new attractions and rides to attract tourists to come. One of the mainstays is Archipelago Lake.

Meanwhile, President Director of PT Bhumi Visaanda (TMII Manager) Claudia Ingkiriwang said Archipelago Lake was used as the main TMII icon equipped with a fountain attraction or Dancing Fountain Show with the theme of Indonesian folklore.

"Dancing Fountain Show can later be enjoyed by tourists visiting TMII," he said.

Claudia hopes that with the new concept being carried, the number of visitors is expected to continue to increase.

"In 2023, the number of visitors to TMII is targeted to reach 6 million visitors or an average of 16,000 visitors every day," he said.
