West Lombok Regent Fauzan Khalid, in West Lombok Regency, Saturday, said his party was grateful to the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy for setting Senggigi Sunset Jazz as a nusantara event together with the Pujawali Lingsar Topolate War.

"Because we invited national artists, I gave input regarding the artist's appearance hours because it would affect the audience to attend to watch," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, May 27.

Nety Rusi, as the Event Organizer (EO) of the Senggigi Sunset Jazz music festival, explained the concept of organizing events almost the same as the previous year, namely presenting the best artificial tourist attraction on the island of Lombok.

The festival, according to him, certainly aims to encourage the revival of the world of tourism in a new order of life and then as a promotion of tourism potential and investors to come to West Lombok.

"The Senggigi Sunset Jazz 2023 music festival is the fifth year and is considered successful in attracting tens of thousands of visitors. We are still excited to revive the glory of Senggigi tourism. Not only is it known nationally but internationally," he said.

This year's Sunset Jazz Senggigi, said Nety, will be held with the concept of the Beach Jazz stage. Not only Jaz music concerts, but there will be bazaars and culinary delights from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and beach clean activities.

According to him, the festivals shown this year are the same as the previous year, namely the first coastal jaz and the largest coastal jaz in Indonesia.

"Kita tahu jaz pertama dan menjadi penduk jaz di Indonesia, adalah Java Jazz. Kemudian ada Candi Prambanan Jazz, selanjutnya Jazz Gunung di Bromo dan Jazz Ijen yang diadakan di hotel. Dan jaz pantai ini kita masih komunikasikan menjadi jaz pantai pertama di Indonesia, dan ada di Lombok Barat," ujar Nety pula.
