JAKARTA - The Department of Tourism and Culture (Disparbud) of Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province (Babel) recorded that the number of hotel guest visits in the area reached 48,272 people.

This was conveyed by the Head of Disparbud Bangka Regency, Rismy Wira Maddona in an official statement, in Bangka, Tuesday, December 27.

He said the number of guest visits from January to November 2022 increased by 15.4 percent compared to the same number of visits in 2021 as many as 40,815 people.

Tens of thousands of hotel guests recorded based on the 19 hotels provided included dozens of foreign tourist guests.

The visit of hotel guests during the period January to November 2022, said Rismy, the lowest number of hotel guests occurred in April 2022, which was only 2,647 people compared to the months before and after.

"It is known that foreign tourists generally prefer to stay at hotels that are directly adjacent to the beach, such as the Tanjung Pesona hotel and the Parai Beach Resort Hotel," he explained as quoted by Antara.

The cumulative visit of hotel guests within that period is predicted to increase in December 2022, where many tourists enter Bangka Regency to enjoy the new year.

The graph of increasing hotel guests, he said, shows that tourist attractions in Bangka Regency, which are known to be quite beautiful, are in great demand by both domestic and foreign tourists.

In 2023, he targets the number of tourists to increase as the tourism agenda is quite large and the COVID-19 outbreak begins to subside.
