JAKARTA - As many as 7,577 tourists from a number of regions visited Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), East Jakarta, in a series of Christmas 2020 holidays, Saturday.

"Yesterday, Friday, December 25, we closed operations because there was a circular from the government regarding COVID-19. Today we are open until December 30, 2020 and closed again during the New Year 2021 celebration on Thursday (31/12) and Friday (1 / 1), "said Head of Public Relations of TMII Novera Mayangsari, reported by Antara.

The 7,577 tourists were counted based on online ticket purchases calculated by the operator from 08.00 WIB until operational closure at 16.00 WIB.

This number has decreased significantly from the same situation in 2019 as many as 32,035 people.

"Certainly less because there are large-scale social restrictions at the close of this Christmas season," he said.

Mayang said tourists visiting TMII did not only come by bicycle, but some also brought 1,308 units of private cars, 752 motorbikes and three buses.

Mayang said visitors who come are required to carry out health protocols.

Public Relations of TMII Suseno said that his party would only open rides and platforms at the appointed time to anticipate crowds.

Managers, said Suseno, are consistent in implementing 3M's health protocols, namely wearing masks, washing hands with soap and maintaining distance.

"In a number of places hand washing stations have been provided. We ask visitors to continue implementing the 3M health protocol," he said.
