JAKARTA - The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy/Head of the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, has ensured that the Ragunan Wildlife Park (TMR) is ready to welcome a surge in tourists during the 2022 Eid holiday.

Minister Sandiaga explained, Ragunan is a favorite destination for people who don't go home for Eid. Because of its strategic location in the middle of the capital city.

For this reason, it is necessary to be well prepared to welcome tourists who want to spend time with family for recreation.

"Because this is also a mainstay destination in DKI Jakarta, the Kadis target on the first day of Eid (3/5/2022) is 45 thousand visitors, which is 75 percent of the capacity of 60 thousand. We hope that all of them apply health protocols. Just like Ancol, TMR also applies an online reservation system, and we make sure this destination is ready to accommodate people who want to travel during the Eid 2022 holiday in Jakarta. We will coordinate to always be monitored so as not to cause a spike in new COVID-19 cases, "said Sandiaga in a written statement, Sunday 1 May.

People who want to buy entrance tickets to the zoo, which has 2,294 animals out of 220 species, are advised to register online one day before arrival. Registration will be open from 07.30 WIB until the number of visitors is 45 thousand people.

"This Eid is our momentum to revive the economy, create business and job opportunities, and Eid is the momentum to enter into our new economic order. If DKI Jakarta is very ready because they have implemented digitization. This is our challenge in tourist destinations outside Jakarta," he said.

The requirements that must be met by potential visitors to the Ragunan Wildlife Park are proof of the second dose of vaccination intended for adults. The terms and conditions include the second dose of vaccination for adults. And children aged 6-12 years have to be vaccinated with a dose of one.
