JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno revealed the 3B tour package, Banyuwangi-West-North Bali, to reduce the burden in southern Bali.

"So this 3B tour package is to reduce the burden on the south of Bali. As of today, the limitations are flights to Banyuwangi, East Java and fast boats that are being prepared by associations," Sandiaga said in Jakarta, Monday.

The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) has started selling and measuring how much it demand (demand) related to the tour package.

"We have started selling and measuring how much the demand is. But later, the entry will come from Banyuwangi and connect it to North Bali and West Bali," said Sandiaga.

The 3B tour package targets 10 percent of the total number of tourists who come to Bali, both domestic and foreign tourists.

"National tourists and foreign tourists, because they already exist from China, from several other areas, the entry comes from Surabaya, to Bromo, Ijen, and continues to Bali," said Sandiaga.

Regarding infrastructure, Sandiaga said that for Banyuwangi, East Java and Lovina, Buleleng Regency, Bali, it was ready.

Meanwhile, the readiness of infrastructure in Pemuteran, Buleleng Regency must be strengthened and capacity increased.

The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy collaborates with the Banyuwangi Regency Regional Government (Pemda), Jembrana Regency Government, and Buleleng Regency Government to launch a 3B tour package, namely Banyuwangi-Bali Barat-Bali Utara.

This tour package is one of the efforts of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in redistributing tourists who are mostly concentrated in South Bali to spread to West and North Bali with Banyuwangi as an entrance.

One of the accessibility offered in the package is using a fast boat from Boom Beach in Banyuwangi to Lovina, with a stop point at the Pemuteran Village pier, Buleleng Regency.

Menparekraf is optimistic that this tour package will attract many tourists. Because apart from heading to Lovina, Pemuteran Village itself also has various attractions such as religious tourism as well as one of the best events, namely the Host of the Bay Festival.

This tour package is expected to be a breakthrough (game changer) that will strengthen quality and sustainable tourism in Bali.
