The operation of Borobudur Temple in Magelang Regency, Central Java increased by an hour during the Eid 2024 holiday.General Manager of PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko (TWC) Borobudur Unit Jamaludin Mawardi, said with the addition the operation was open early 30 minutes and closed also back 30 minutes. "So more precisely, so far, tourists have entered the zone 1, the temple page is only 07.00 WIB, during the busy period from 8-17 April 2024 it can be half an hour, of course at 06.30 WIB it can go up to the temple page and then close it at 17.30 WIB," said Jamaludin, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday 11 April. He hopes that the extension of the time will give tourists leniency, based on the experience in previous years sometimes tourists have arrived and the parking gate has to be closed. "They are a little disappointed because they have taken the time to come but don't get the chance," he said. Therefore, he said again, adding closing time for 30 minutes, hopefully it could be a solution to the problems that occur in tourists. He said that the quota rises can be still 1,200 per day, divided into eight sessions, starting at 08.30 to 16.30 WIB.

"There were no additional sessions at the beginning, but because 1,200 visitors still went up the temple, we will run the session normal as usual, eight sessions starting 08.30-16.30 WIB," he said again. He hopes that visitors who want to ride the temple will make reservations via online/online.
