Supporting Sport Tourism, TWC Prambanan Hosts Central Java Pre-Porprov

PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan & Ratu Boko is committed to participating in developing sports tourism in Indonesia. Special interest tourism that includes sports activities in tourism destinations is one element in growing quality tourism in Indonesia.

In line with that, PT TWC supports the implementation of the Central Java Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) Gateball sports branch at the Siwa Field, Prambanan Temple Tourism Park (TWC) complex, Friday (23/9/2022). A total of 13 districts in Central Java sent their representatives to compete in the championship ahead of the 2023 Central Java Porprov (provincial sports week).

The event was opened directly by the Secretary General of KONI Central Java Achmad Ris Ediyanto, the General Chairperson of Pergatsi Central Java Eko Yulianto and GM TWC Prambanan Jamaludin Mawardi. The cooperation of various parties in the implementation of this activity also encouraged the implementation of sport tourism in Central Java.

KONI Central Java Secretary General Achmad Ris Ediyanto invited destination managers, especially PT TWC, to support the implementation of sport tourism events in the Central Java region. According to him, there are special interest tours packaged with visits to tourist destinations in the surrounding area. Meanwhile, Central Java itself will host national championships for several sports.

"This sport tourism event, perhaps in the future, in addition to the championship, there will also be tickets that coincide with a visit to Prambanan or Ratu Boko Temple which is nearby. So that fellow athletes can feel how after exercising they can go on a tour. I think this is also in accordance with the governor's direction to develop in Central Java," he explained.

The General Chairperson of KONI Central Java, Bona Ventura Sulistiana, expressed his gratitude to all parties who helped implement one of the athlete development agendas. 

"This activity is a good opportunity to prove who is the best in each category. We hope this will produce the best Central Java athletes who will later be prepared to participate in the Central Java Provincial Sports Week," he explained.

Meanwhile, GM TWC Prambanan Jamaludin Mawardi explained that he and his staff are committed to facilitating sport tourism agendas organized by various parties. According to him, sport tourism can help boost the appeal of the area that is a magnet for tourist visits.

"We hope that this sport tourism can help drive the magnet of tourist visits to the destination. This is certainly interconnected and interconnected. So, the development of this special interest tourism becomes a necessity for destination managers that can be scheduled," he said.
