REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KENDARI -- A member of the Kendari Regional Legislative Assembly (DPRD) Yasin Idrus has called on the Kendari city administration to optimize the management of tourist attractions in the area.
"All tourists attractions in Kendari must be managed optimally in order to boost local revenue," Idrus remarked in the Southeast Sulawesi provincial capital of Kendari on Monday.
He pointed out that the local revenue generated from Kendari's tourism sector was still low despite the city's huge tourism potential.
"Therefore, the city administration should optimize the management of the area's tourism potential," he emphasized.
In the meantime, another DPRD member Rizal stated that several tourist attractions in Kendari that could be managed optimally to boost local revenue are the Nambo beach and a mangrove tracking area, among others.
Rizal noted that the Bungkutoko mangrove tracking area had been frequented by several tourists, so far, but it had yet to be inaugurated by the local government as a tourist attraction.
"As the Bungkutoko mangrove tracking area has not been inaugurated, hence visitors to the area are not required to pay an admission fee. However, an irresponsible party has taken advantage of the situation by establishing an illegal parking area, which is not regulated by the local government," he revealed.
