Tanjung Lesung as one of the special economic zones starts attracting the attention of domestic and foreign tourists. The Tanjung Lesung Wonder Festival, that has taken place from 28 to 30 September 2018, presents a variety of events. One of them is Rhino X-triathlon. To the Voice of Indonesia, Friday (28/9) in Tanjung Lesung, Minister of Tourism, Arif Yahya remarked that to reach the target of one million foreign tourists, Tanjung Lesung will be supported by the central government through the necessary infrastructure development.

"The most needed is access. So, toll access is the most important that we are waiting to be completed  in 2020. In 2019, section  One will be completed. The second one is railroad revitalization. We hope that the location of the airport is available as proposed this year by the Banten provincial government. From the beginning, we have set one million foreign tourists to Banten. If there are one million tourists, this means that one billion US dollars is circulating here, especially in Pandeglang. If there is around Rp. 14 trillion, we believe that the economy here will move quickly,” said Arif Yahya.

Furthermore, Minister Arif Yahya explained that his side has also prepared Tanjung Lesung's human resources with various facilities that are able to support the Tanjung Lesung community to be able to manage tourism objects professionally by using information technology. (VOI/Nuke/Trans by R)
