JAKARTA - The management of Ancol Dreamland implemented a special scheme in the Vesak 2565 Buddhist Era (BE) holiday, Wednesday, May 26. The scheme is a temporary gate opening.

According to The Corporate Communications Manager of Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, Rika Lestari said it was done to control the number of visitors in Ancol. It is also done to ensure health protocols are put forward.

"So the scheme of gate opening and closing is more to the efforts to control visitor traffic inside Ancol. So it's not allowed to enter, but visitors are temporarily detained, and it was only about 30 minutes", Rika told reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday, May 26.

Rika said the number of visitors to Ancol Dreamland recorded in the area from 06.00 WIB to 13.00 WIB was about 14,000 people, then out as many as 4,000 people.

"So the remaining Ancol area of 10,000 people. It spread, some to Fantasy World, Seaworld, and Ocean Dream Ocean. In the number of visitors, it's still below 30 percent", Rika said.

Rika said the number of visitors increased during the Vesak holiday this time, but she hopes the application of health protocols during the tour remains a concern while in the Ancol area.

Rika also monitors the area along Ancol beach to ensure the implementation of health protocols can be well controlled.

He said there are currently about 4,000 visitors on the beach. The figure, according to Rika, is still quite controlled for the coastal area because health protocols such as keeping a distance and avoiding crowds continue to be noticed.
