JAKARTA - The development of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) does not stop at the 2022 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. This was emphasized by Deputy I of the Presidential Staff Office, Febry Calvin Tetelepta.
In a written statement in Jakarta, Saturday, February 12, Febry said that the MotoGP, which will be held at the Mandalika Circuit in March 2022, will have many national and international agendas that will also be held. Febry hopes that these activities can give birth to new economic growth.
"This MotoGP is only the beginning. In the future there will be many more national and international scale events being held. Therefore, it requires the support of all elements of society in order to create a long-term multiplier effect," he said, as quoted by Antara.
According to Febry, one of the keys to growing the multiplier effect of Mandalika development is through empowering local communities. This is in accordance with the commitment and direction of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo when establishing the development of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
"From the beginning, Mandalika's development was designed holistically. Infrastructure development and local community empowerment must be carried out hand in hand," he said.
Febry said there are many sectors supporting tourism activities that will feel the multiplier impact of the development of Mandalika. He then gave examples of construction, accommodation providers, food and drink, as well as transportation and MSMEs.
"These activities will certainly involve the local community. The point is that Mandalika is not a proud project, but is indeed dedicated to the people of Indonesia, especially the people of NTB," said Febry.
