In 2018, We Hope TWC Will Be Able to Synergize with State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN)

Assistant Deputy for Business & Government Market Segment Development of the Ministry of Tourism M Tazbir: "The performance of the Temple Tourism Park is getting better. In 2018 we hope that Borobudur (Temple Tourism Park) will be able to build stronger synergy with BUMNs because there is indeed a potential that can be driven by BUMN Synergy for tourism."

The success of Taman Wisata Candi in holding the Borobudur Cultural Feast 2017 which was able to mobilize local communities to get involved and the development of the balkondes through BUMN Synergy so that it became a national model received a positive response from the Ministry of Tourism. In 2018, the Ministry of Tourism hopes that Taman Wisata Candi will be able to establish more communication or synergy with BUMNs because there is indeed a potential that can be driven by BUMN Synergy for tourism because tourism is now our national priority.

“This Temple Tourism Park, especially Borobudur and its surrounding areas, is one of our national targets. Borobudur is a national asset and a world asset and it is our tourism magnet. We have national targets to increase visits to Borobudur. Last year there were 3,7 million tourists and this year we hope for 3,9 million tourists. This continues to increase. That is why festivals such as the Borobudur Cultural Feast 2017 have extraordinary meaning, not only in terms of promoting Borobudur itself or activities around Borobudur, but also mobilizing the local community. The surrounding community can be an inseparable part of the progress of Borobudur. This is a good synergy. We at the Ministry of Tourism hope that this will continue, can be developed, can strengthen the promotion of Borobudur itself and can also drive the local economy. " said Assistant Deputy for Business & Government Market Segment Development of the Ministry of Tourism M Tazbir.

“The Ministry of Tourism feels that this is part of an event that we are also interested in branding Pesona Indonesia, Wonderful Indonesia, through these events is also part of our national program. The performance of the Temple Tourism Park is getting better. We see that the cleanliness is okay, the arrangements are getting better and more importantly the community feels its involvement and function. In the future it will certainly be better. In 2018, of course we hope that Borobudur will also be able to build a stronger synergy, especially with the presence of the Balkondes. Balkondes is a national model and a potential that we can develop as a tourism product. In 2018, hopefully Borobudur can establish more communication or synergy with BUMNs because there is indeed a potential that can be driven by BUMN Synergy for tourism because tourism is now our national priority.
