The Regent of Buleleng, I Nyoman Sutjidra, will continue the\nredevelopment of Lovina Beach in Kalibukbuk Village next year. The\nsecond phase of revitalisation will extend the pedestrian walkway\neastwards whilst adding various public facilities for tourists and the\nlocal community.<\/p>\n
Beyond extending the pedestrian walkway, open spaces, a children\u2019s\nplayground, sports areas and an all-in-one snack centre (pujasera)\noccupied by local micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) will also\nbe built. According to Sutjidra, the second phase of development will\ncomplete the new face of Lovina Beach as an integrated tourist\ndestination.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is only the first phase. Next year there will be a second\nphase. The pedestrian walkway will be extended eastwards, and the\nlandscaping will be arranged. There will be open spaces for children,\nsports areas, places to relax, and there are also plans for a pujasera\nfor Lovina\u2019s MSMEs,\u201d said Sutjidra at a press conference for the Lovina\nFestival 2026 on Wednesday (23\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n
According to Sutjidra, the revitalisation of the Lovina Beach area\nhas begun to show a positive impact on the tourism sector. A number of\nforeign tourists have even chosen to extend their stays after learning\nabout the Lovina Festival 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are guests who were supposed to check out tomorrow, but\npostponed by up to five days or even a week because they want to take\npart in the Lovina Festival. This is something to be cheerful about. It\nmeans Lovina is starting to attract attention,\u201d said Sutjidra.<\/p>\n
Sutjidra revealed that tourists\u2019 response to the new look of Lovina\nBeach has been very positive. Many foreign tourists who have visited\nseveral times said they were astonished by the changes to the area,\nwhich is now better organised and more comfortable.<\/p>\n
It is not only foreign tourists who are arriving; domestic tourists\nare also starting to come. According to Sutjidra, several coach groups\nwho initially only wanted to enjoy the sunset ultimately decided to stay\novernight at Lovina Beach and join the dolphin attractions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first they only wanted to see the sunset, but they ended up\nstaying in Lovina, then enjoyed the dolphin attractions before heading\nhome. It means ground zero and Lovina are now becoming new magnets for\nincreasing visits,\u201d explained Sutjidra.<\/p>\n
Sutjidra is optimistic that the continued redevelopment through the\nsecond phase will further drive economic growth for the community. In\naddition to increasing tourist visits, the project is expected to lift\nMSME incomes, hotel occupancy and hotel and restaurant tax (PHR)\nrevenues.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now hotels are fully booked until 31 July, and even Pemuteran\nis full. The impact is starting to be felt on PHR, with realisation\nalready exceeding the target,\u201d said Sutjidra.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/sutjidra-to-continue-lovina-beach-revitalisation-adding-various-facilities-1784854234", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
