The damage was caused by irresponsible individuals. The\nMataram Tourism Office (Dispar) noted that several public facilities in\ntourist areas have been damaged, including the Loang Baloq Park area,\nAmpenan Beach, and Teras Udayana. The damage occurred due to the actions\nof irresponsible people. Head of the Mataram Tourism Office, Cahya\nSamudra, said one issue receiving serious attention is the viewing tower\nin the Loang Baloq area. The condition of the structure is considered\ndangerous for visitors due to severe corrosion. \u201cEspecially the\ndangerous ones, the viewing tower at Loang Baloq has more than 30\npercent damage, we must repair it immediately. For the time being, we\nare closing it first because the condition is rusty,\u201d Cahya said when\nconfirmed on Wednesday. In addition to large infrastructure, the\ncondition of small infrastructure and stalls at several tourist\ndestinations has also come under scrutiny. Specifically for the stalls,\nthe Mataram Tourism Office is asking traders to maintain cleanliness and\nthe durability of the facilities. \u201cAs for other conditions like the\npaint, the condition of the stalls must also be maintained together with\nthe traders. We also ask traders to take care of them together,\nespecially since the buildings are not very old yet,\u201d Cahya said. Cahya\nstressed that a number of damaged public facilities at Mataram\u2019s tourist\ndestinations must be repaired immediately. Moreover, Mataram will host\nthe Association of Indonesian City Governments (Apeksi) event next year.\nThe Mataram Tourism Office will conduct a survey regarding the points\nthat need to be fixed. Meanwhile, Fahri, a visitor at Loang Baloq Park,\nsaid he was reluctant to sit in the facility area at Loang Baloq Park\nbecause its condition was quite damaged. \u201cThe gazebo is a bit rickety,\nI\u2019m afraid it will break if we sit on it. I hope the relevant agency can\nmove quickly so there are no victims,\u201d Fahri hoped.<\/p>",
