Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno asked the Jembrana Regency Government, Bali, to prepare a tourism ecosystem and creative economy.
This is done so that later the spread of tourists can be evenly distributed, not only centralized in eastern and southern Bali.
"We have to get ready because Jembrana will be passed by a toll road that will connect Denpasar and in 2025 it will be connected. So, we have to prepare a tourism ecosystem, because everything will move to western Bali later," Sandiaga said, as quoted on Friday, December 30.
According to Sandiaga, Jembrana tourism has been constrained by long distances from Denpasar. However, with toll roads, the distance will be cut, so it will be easier for tourists to visit the area.
"We are optimistic that tourist visits here will increase, so all parties must be ready," he said.
He also explained that the target for tourist visits, both domestic and foreign tourists next year, will double.
For foreign tourists, it is targeted to increase to 7.4 million, while domestic tourists reach around 1.2 - 1.4 billion movements.
"This must be addressed by all tourism and creative economy actors, do not miss it. We must prepare to open up business opportunities and of course large job opportunities," he said.
