JAKARTA - Conglomerate Hary Tanoesoedibjo wants to build a MotoGP circuit in the Lido Tourism Special Economic Zone (KEK), West Java. This will complement the MNC Group Executive Chairman's project after he previously wanted to build a project equivalent to Disneyland and Universal Studios in the region.

"We plan to have a Moto GP circuit. I also plan to move there, I want to," said Hary Tanoe in a virtual MNC Group Investor Forum 2021 event, Tuesday 2 March.

Not without reason, the father of Wamenparekraf Angela Tanoesoedibjo wants to build a MotoGP circuit. According to him, at the Sepang Malaysia Circuit, the average crowd who came to watch or around 50 percent were viewers from Indonesia.

"Indonesians like motorbike racing, around 50 thousand watch the races at Sepang Malaysia. So, about 50 percent of them are from Indonesia," he explained.

That way, continued the man who is familiarly called HT, he will offer the construction of a MotoGP circuit in Lido to investors. The potential for people's interest in sports will be the mainstay of the 33rd richest man in Indonesia in wooing investors.

As is known, MNC Lido City received approval from the National Council for Special Economic Zones as a Special Economic Zone for Tourism (or what is often referred to as the KEK Tourism). With this status, Business Entities and Business Actors in the MNC Lido City area can obtain licensing facilities, including the matter of plans to build a Disneyland and Universal Studio playground.

In addition, business entities and business actors in the MNC Lido City area can also enjoy various facilities and tax incentive facilities according to the Minister of Finance Regulation number 237 / PMK.010 / 2020, including the provision of income tax incentives; value added tax and sales tax on luxury goods; import duties and taxes for import; excise; as well as various other licensing facilities.
