REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG - Thousands of people on Monday and Tuesday thronged numerous recreational parks in and around the city of Bandung in West Java, noted an official.
"One of the recreational parks is the Bandung Zoo, which was flocked by thousands of visitors on Monday and Tuesday," the zoo's public relations official, Sudaryo, remarked on Tuesday.
He noted that during the ten days of the Eid al Fitr holidays, the zoo was expected to attract at least 130 thousand visitors with the entry ticket fare of 20 thousand IDR per person plus 500 IDR as Red Cross donation fee. Situated along the Tamansari Street near the campus of Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), the Bandung Zoo is one of the most favorite places in the city among visitors.
"Therefore, we are ready with 130 thousand entry tickets, and if they are sold out in the ten days during the Lebaran festivities, the zoo will earn at least 2.6 billion IDR," Sudaryo pointed out.
He further added that in order to attract the visitors, the zoo had a large aquarium, which houses several varieties of fish, including giant ones from the Amazon River in South America. Other popular tourist attractions in Bandung are Lembang's Maribaya Recreation Park with a beautiful waterfall, Tangkuban Perahu mountain, Pangalengan, Ciwidey, and Curug Cinulang.
