In this case, he asked for suggestions and input from the Seribu Islands Tourism Sub-agency Head, Resort Association, and Travel Association to then be communicated across the Jakarta regional apparatus organizations (OPD) and ministries in the Central Government.

"Hope it will accelerate the access and the plan for Seribu Islands to become an KSPN," he expressed.

There are several areas in Seribu Islands that have been designed to become attractive tourist destinations, ranging from marine tourism, religious tourism, water sports tourism, and mangrove tourism.

"I ask that the public communication be completed, the marketing must also be good, tourism promotion must be intensified. Then other supports such as transportation are also made easier," he said.

Seribu Islands Regent, Junaedi positively welcomed the support related to accelerating the development of the tourism sector as KSPN.

"Surely, it has a huge impact on the economy and can absorb thousands of new jobs for Seribu Islands residents," he concluded.
