JAKARTA - Mayor of Solo, Central Java, Gibran Rakabuming Raka proposed international flights on the Singapore and Malaysia routes to Solo Adi Soemarmo Airport following the high level of tourist visits to the area. "The proposal of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur is mandatory, simple," he said in Solo, Antara, Tuesday, May 2. The proposal was submitted following the efforts of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno who will seek international flight access. This international flight will enrich access from outside to Solo. Currently, easier access has an impact on the high number of tourist visits to Solo. One of them is the KRL that connects Solo-Yogyakarta, he said, also has an impact on tourist visits to Solo. "Now on a cheap, close KRL, that's an option," he said. Even in the future, access to the Solo-Yogyakarta toll road will also be very helpful and profitable for both regions.

Asked about the level of tourism visits in Solo, he said, congestion has been seen in various places. "Even yesterday I saw that until May 1, it was still crowded. The traffic jam was extraordinary," he said.
