"We will involve various private parties in our effort to step up the international tourism potential here," local culture and tourism department`s investment promotion agency spokesman Gatot Hudi Utomo said here on Wednesday.
He said Regional Tourism Promotion Board (BPPD) would be established in the near future by involving various parties.
According to Gatot, Lampung province has more than 150 tourism objects but most of them have yet to be optimally managed.
"Therefore we are going to optimize the international tourism potential in the province," Gatot said, adding that in the coastal area in Lampung Barat district was good surfing.
To optimize and to promote the international tourism potential in the province, he said the infrastructure facility should also be improved.
"Besides, the tourism promotion agency should play its greater role to attract as many foreign tourists as possible to visit Lampung," he said.(*)
