THE tourists will be able to enjoy the new face of Labuan Bajo City, the capital of West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara which is a super premium tourist area after the COVID-19 pandemic as stipulated by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
According to the Managing Director of the Implementing Agency for the Labuan Bajo Flores Authority (BOPLBF), Shana Fatina in Labuan Bajo said that along with the construction of the Labuan Bajo tourist area which is gradually being completed, of course, after the pandemic tourists can enjoy the new face of Labuan Bajo, which is fresher and neater.
She said the infrastructure development of the Labuan Bajo National Tourism Strategic Area (KSPN) had been going on since 2019 or before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The development is in the form of structuring five areas in Labuan Bajo City including Puncak Waringin, Batu Cermin, Water Front City, as well as facilities on Rinca Island and several arrangements such as relocation of container ports. Currently, several areas have been completed and all of them are planned to be completed in 2021.
Shana Fatina said this development could also boost tourism growth after the COVID-19 pandemic. Because people who come to Labuan Bajo not only come for the first time but those who miss Labuan Bajo can enjoy the new face of the city.
Furthermore, he said he wanted Labuan Bajo not only to become a destination for vacations, but also work and so on. I am optimistic that with the implementation of the COVID-19 prevention health protocol, tourist visits to areas that are famous for the leading destinations of Komodo National Park can be revived.
“And of course, tourists will be presented with the new face of Labuan Bajo which will make their tourist experience more meaningful,” she concluded. [antaranews/photo special]
