JAKARTA - The Bekasi Regency Government, West Java has begun to test the opening of tourist attractions to encourage the movement of the economy during the implementation of Level 3 PPKM.

If this trial is successful, it is possible that all tourist destinations will be reopened with certain conditions," said Head of Bekasi Regency Satpol PP Dodo Hendra Rosika in Cikarang, quoted from Antara. , Friday September 3rd.

He said the trial of opening tourist attractions refers to the policies contained in Circular Letter Number 300/SE-60/POL.PP related to PPKM Level 3 Corona Virus Disease 2019 and the transformation of economic recovery in Bekasi Regency.

Dodo explained that there were several provisions during this trial period, including the manager of tourist attractions being required to ensure a limit of 25 percent of visitors coming from normal capacity and limiting operating hours to 18.00 WIB every day.

Then they must pass the checklist verification required by the Bekasi Regency Tourism Office and the commitment to strengthening 3M, wearing masks, washing hands, and maintaining distance.

"The availability of health protocol infrastructure such as a place to wash hands, temperature measurements, social distancing restrictions, and acrylic covers both at the cashier and at the counter are also an absolute requirement for tourist attractions," he said.

In addition, the managers of tourist attractions are also asked to spray disinfectant liquid regularly or every day in places that become visitor mobility areas.

For visitors and employees, he said, they are required to use the PeduliLindung application when screening entrances to tourist attractions.

Culinary business actors in tourist areas also play a role in regulating the number of tourists who want to enjoy culinary services.

Dodo hopes that this trial period will become a reference for tourist site managers to be able to implement strict health protocols so that when they are allowed to operate again, they are used to implementing this pattern.
