Jakarta Culture and Tourism Division Deputy Governor, Marullah Matali visited four cultural heritage islands on Untung Jawa Island, South Seribu Islands.

This is our way of preserving cultural heritage

Those four islands visited were namely Kelor, Cipir, Onrust, and Bidadari.

He was optimistic that the existence of four cultural heritage islands could become attractive tourist destinations. It could also become a target for young tourists who want to understand and get to know history and culture.

"Our focus today is these four islands. There are several that we visit such as Fort Martello, a former hospital building and a former pilgrimage quarantine building and other sites," he said, Wednesday (8/23).

His party had noted what needs to be done to preserve the cultural richness of the four islands.

"The need for protection is needed, even though it has passed through revitalization. We'll also involve related agencies to plant productive trees or ornamental plants," he explained.

He added that the Jakarta Provincial Government would give important attention to these four cultural heritage islands. One of them was carrying out renovations that are being carried out.

"Today, we see what has been and will be done. This is our way of preserving cultural heritage," he stated.
