Access to the coast at Kelingking Beach in Bunga Mekar Village, Nusa\nPenida District, Klungkung Regency, Bali, is set to become safer and\nmore comfortable for visitors. The Klungkung Regency Government will\nbuild permanent steps at a cost of Rp 3.2 billion.<\/p>\n
The project will not use funds from the Regional Budget (APBD);\ninstead, it will be financed through corporate social responsibility\n(CSR) funding from PT Ctrip Internasional Indonesia, part of Trip.com\nGroup.<\/p>\n
The partnership focuses on sponsoring the improvement and\nconstruction of infrastructure at tourist attractions managed by the\nlocal government. The private company has provided the Klungkung Regency\nGovernment with physical structures and supporting facilities for\ntourism.<\/p>\n
The assistance handed over includes a levy collection post and\npergola at Kelingking Beach, additional pergolas at several tourist\nattractions, and facilities and equipment for Balawista, the water\ntourism rescue service.<\/p>\n
Klungkung acting regional secretary and head of the Klungkung Tourism\nOffice, I Gusti Agung Gede Putra Mahajaya, confirmed plans to build\nfacilities to improve visitor safety at the scenic cliffside site.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe construction of these steps has been allocated around Rp 3.2\nbillion from CSR funding provided by PT Ctrip Internasional Indonesia,\u201d\nPutra Mahajaya said when contacted on Saturday (24 October 2026).<\/p>\n
He said adequate and safe steps were urgently needed. The steep route\ndown to the beach has often led to accidents, with visitors slipping or\nsuffering extreme exhaustion that requires assistance from the Search\nand Rescue team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe descent has been dangerous and high-risk. Building these steps\nis a priority to ensure the safety and comfort of visitors, both\ndomestic and international, who want to enjoy the beauty below the\nKelingking cliffs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Klungkung Regent I Made Satria also praised the private sector\u2019s\nconcern and active contribution through a pentahelix approach involving\nthe government, customary villages, the private sector, academics and\nthe media.<\/p>\n
Satria said safe and comfortable infrastructure was crucial to making\nvisitors to Nusa Penida feel welcome and protecting them from potential\nharm.<\/p>\n
\u201cImproving and adding facilities at tourist attractions in Nusa\nPenida is essential to enhance the comfort, safety and experience of\nvisitors,\u201d Regent Satria said.<\/p>\n
He highlighted three priorities for the tourism development\npartnership: putting visitor safety first, promoting local economic\ngrowth so residents directly benefit, and preserving the environment and\nlocal wisdom to ensure tourism remains sustainable.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/permanent-steps-to-be-built-at-kelingking-beach-for-rp-3-2-billion-1792846217", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
