"In addition to West Nusa Tenggara, Jakarta and West Java were the provinces where most of the 2022 Mandalika MotoGP visitors came from," he informed during a weekly press briefing here on Monday.
Furthermore, at least 60.61 percent of Pertamina Grand Prix visitors used airplanes as the main mode of transportation and 22.73 percent used private transportation, he said while sharing the results of a survey conducted by the ministry.
During the event, hotels and homestays were the main choices of accommodation, with the average stay recorded at 4.2 days, he added.
On average, visitors spent more than Rp10 million in Lombok, Uno informed.
"Some 75.8 percent of respondents said they were very satisfied with the 2022 Mandalika MotoGP series," he said.
Regarding visitor satisfaction, hospitality and visitor destinations got the highest satisfaction rating compared to other supporting factors.
Meanwhile, local hygiene and transportation received the lowest satisfaction rating.
Further, 88.7 percent of the respondents said they planned to attend other MotoGP events next season.
Some factors that need to be evaluated on the implementation of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia are transportation systems, including shuttle buses, and parking management, which they felt needed improvement, Uno said.
Moreover, the unfinished infrastructure of the Mandalika Circuit ecosystem was also seen by respondents as a problem, so it is expected that the racing venue will be more ready next year.
The management and human resources were also considered as being unfamiliar with international events, so skill improvement is necessary, he added.
Furthermore, the ticket prices were considered quite expensive for Indonesians. "Limited availability of accommodation and increasing prices became burdensome factors for the respondents," Uno said.
