JAKARTA - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution received a visit from the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Denmark, H.E Lars Bo Larsen. During the meeting, they discussed the water ecotourism development plan.
The development of water ecotourism will start from the confluence of the Babura and Deli rivers, which are behind the An Nadwan Mosque, Silalas Village, West Medan District.
"I am optimistic that collaborating with the Danish Ambassador can turn rivers into water ecotourism", said Bobby on his Instagram account @bobbynst, Thursday, March 18.

According to Bobby, if it functions well, the river will provide many benefits. One of them is water ecotourism which can improve the regional economy.
However, before turning the river into water ecotourism, we must clean the river from piles of garbage and restore its function first.
"Because currently, the river is part of the back of the city of Medan which is used as a garbage dump by the community", said the son-in-law of President Joko Widodo.
Currently, Bobby wants his staff to aggressively clean the river and ditches from the garbage. After the river is free from garbage, the Medan City Government will conduct socialization to the community.
"Then, we can make the river as water ecotourism and become the front yard of Medan City", he said.
