“We recorded 6,252 domestic and foreign tourists visited destinations in the region through several departure points during the day,” Thousand Islands’ Tourism and Creative Economy Office Head Sonti Pangaribuan stated on Friday.
A total of 3,719 tourists departed for the Thousand Islands from Muara Angke Port, while 1,594 tourists sailed from Baywalk Port, and 946 others departed from Tanjung Pasir Port.
Pangaribuan said the long weekend presents a great opportunity for tourists to visit the Thousand Islands, especially for Jakarta residents seeking destinations that are easily accessible and not too far from the capital.
The Thousand Islands offer coastal and undersea natural beauty, floral and fauna diversity, and culinary experiences for visitors seeking a new tourism experience in Jakarta, she said.
“Besides its natural beauty, its accessibility also makes the Thousand Islands a popular tourism spot for visitors,” Pangaribuan added.
The tourism office expects the number to continue to increase until the end of the long weekend, she remarked.
