Helmi stated that the DDTS landscaping is a\nstrategic step by the regional government to improve the quality of\nBengkulu\u2019s leading tourist destination so it can compete with other\nregions and attract more tourist visits. According to him, the area\u2019s\ndevelopment is not only oriented towards improving physical\ninfrastructure but is also a government effort to encourage regional\neconomic growth through the development of the tourism sector and micro,\nsmall, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). He explained that the DDTS\ndevelopment began in 2022 with land acquisition covering 48,703 square\nmetres, with an initial phase budget of approximately Rp28 billion. In\n2023, development continued with the construction of an elevated road\nthat is now functional, with work valued at Rp89 billion, along with a\nland maturation programme worth Rp2 billion. The total budget realised\nfor the basic development of the area has reached Rp119 billion. With\nthe basic infrastructure deemed ready, the government is now entering\nthe area landscaping phase with a work contract value of Rp37.12\nbillion, which will be used to create a representative, well-organised,\nand environmentally friendly tourist area that provides an economic\nimpact for the surrounding community. Helmi also expressed appreciation\nto the Bengkulu City Government for supporting the preparation process\nfor the area\u2019s development. He noted that the handover of the temporary\nlandscaping work site to the Cipta Karya Implementation Task Force is\nevidence of good synergy between the Central Government, provincial\ngovernment, and city government in accelerating the development of the\nleading tourist destination. Meanwhile, Head of the Bengkulu Building,\nArea, and Infrastructure Planning Centre, Fery Erawan, stated that the\nproject is a form of joint commitment between the Ministry of Public\nWorks and the Provincial Government of Bengkulu to provide a\ncomfortable, beautiful public space that benefits the community. \u201cWe\nexpress our appreciation to the Provincial Government of Bengkulu, the\nCity Government of Bengkulu, and all parties who have provided support.\nThis memorandum of agreement is proof of synergy between the central\ngovernment and regional governments to have a broader positive impact on\nthe community,\u201d said Fery. During the activity, the Bengkulu Province\nPublic Works and Spatial Planning Office also handed over a temporary\nlandscaping site covering approximately 19,000 square metres in the\nDusun Besar sub-district, Bengkulu City, to the Bengkulu Province Cipta\nKarya Implementation Task Force to support the acceleration of the DDTS\ndevelopment as one of the leading tourist destinations in the\nregion.<\/p>",
