East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa stated that the\ndevelopment of the Tengger Caldera Ring Road (JLKT) in Bromo Tengger\nSemeru National Park will realise a transformation in tourism governance\nfor Mount Bromo and its surroundings, making it safe, comfortable,\norderly, and sustainable.<\/p>\n
\u201cJLKT will serve as a connector between regions around the Bromo\ncaldera, as well as an alternative distribution for tourists to avoid\nconcentration at a single point,\u201d she said during the JLKT\ngroundbreaking in Probolinggo Regency on Monday.<\/p>\n
During the laying of the first stone for the JLKT development,\nKhofifah was accompanied by the Director General of Natural Resources\nand Ecosystem Conservation of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry,\nSatyawan Pudyatmoko, the Head of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park\nAgency, Rudijanta Tjahja Nugraha, Probolinggo Regent Mohammad Haris,\nLumajang Regent Indah Amperawati Masdar, and the East Java Regional\nLeadership Coordination Forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this way, pressure on the environment can be reduced, and\neconomic benefits can be felt more evenly by the community,\u201d she\nadded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are grateful that JLKT aligns with the TNBTS programme and the\nMinistry of Forestry. Then we harmonised it with the cultural strengths\nof the Tengger tribe, thus determining the routes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She explained that JLKT can strengthen environmental carrying\ncapacity while keeping it intact. From the Bromo Tengger Semeru\necosystem, there are customs and culture that serve as buffers and\nguardians of preservation, followed by economic sources that can be\ngenerated from maximising domestic and foreign tourists.<\/p>\n
The development includes constructing a route spanning approximately\n13 kilometres with a width of 18 metres, equipped with three rest area\npoints, four parking pockets, 9,725 route boundary stakes, and 60\nabsorption wells as part of efforts to maintain environmental\nbalance.<\/p>\n
It is planned to have three rest areas with restrooms in each area,\nand water sources will be prepared to meet the needs of the rest areas\nand parking areas, so that tourists can enjoy the beauty of Mount\nBromo.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us jointly oversee the development so that it truly provides\ntangible benefits for the area and surrounding communities. We are\noptimistic that in the future, the Tengger Caldera Ring Road will become\nthe new face of Bromo area management that is more orderly, more classy,\nand globally competitive, yet firmly rooted in local values,\u201d she\nstated.<\/p>\n
Khofifah also expressed appreciation and thanks for the Ministry of\nForestry\u2019s programme, which continues to strongly commit to preserving\nand optimising conservation areas as shared living spaces.<\/p>\n
The East Java Provincial Government fully supports the direction of\nnational forestry development policies. Development in conservation\nareas must be carried out wisely, not only oriented towards utilisation\nbut also protection of ecosystems, strengthening of culture, and\nsustainable improvement of community welfare.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this development, it will realise a transformation in the\ngovernance of natural tourism destinations towards a direction that is\nmore orderly, safe, comfortable, and sustainable,\u201d she said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/khofifah-jlkt-to-realise-transformation-in-safe-and-comfortable-bromo-governance-1776077478", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
