Tourism in Pontianak

Tourism in Pontianak

From Suara Karya

I fully agree that even without the prestigious project of the Garuda Kencana monument, Bali is well-known to foreign tourists for its natural beauty and sociocultural activities. The behavior of the Balinese and their religious activities are old traditions which strongly attract tourists.

As far as Pontianak in West Kalimantan is concerned, something should be initiated to attract tourists, perhaps in the form of building an "Equatorial Monument". The people of Pontianak are also friendly to tourists, which is an asset to the region. To make Pontianak a remarkable tourist destination would be one way to further implement the "development trilogy" which includes equity of development programs for all provinces. Each province has its own uniqueness to offer to tourists.
