The Regent of Jembrana I Nengah Tamba attended the presentation of the strategic program design of the Province of Bali, especially in the Jembrana district regarding the Gilimanuk-Pekutatan Toll Road Development Plan.
Presentation with investors from PT. Sumber Rhodium Perkasa was represented by Tito Sulistio and the plan to develop the largest Modern Tourism Destination area or Theme Park in Southeast Asia in the Pekutatan sub-district, which was initiated by PT Paramount in Denpasar, Friday (27/8/2021).
Jembrana Regent I Nengah Tamba was met after the presentation and said that in principle he and the entire Jembrana Regency Government are very supportive of this big project. He added that with the existence of the Gilimanuk-Pekutatan Toll Road, he believes it will have an impact on increasing PAD in Jembrana, especially in the Pekutatan sub-district itself.
The plan in the easternmost sub-district of Jembrana district will also build an international-scale tourist area initiated by PT Paramount. The signing of the investment MoU took place some time ago in Jembrana.
"This is something that is highly coveted for the progress of Jembrana Regency in the future. I have also instructed the ranks of the OPD in the Jembrana Regency Government not to hinder anything, if there are rules that hinder it, immediately find a solution and resolve it so that it can be accelerated," he said.
"So there is no word that it can't be done, it must be possible, but it must still run according to the applicable rules. We really hope that this project will be realized soon," he said.
In addition, the Regent of Tamba also said that when the groundbreaking of this large project is carried out, Jembrana itself will not remain silent. It will prepare the younger generation as a professional workforce. It is known that this project is predicted to be able to absorb thousands of workers and accommodate all workers from Jembrana Regency
"Jembrana does not stay silent when this big project enters the ground breaking stage. We will also prepare it from the HR side (Human Resources). Apart from that, we also seek and develop MSMEs in Jembrana. So when the developers carry out the ground breaking, the children We send Jembrana to school, so that after about 3 years, the children in Jembrana are ready to become good, reliable, and professional workers. That is one of our focuses on preparing superior human resources," he said.
Regarding the amusement rides that will be developed in the Pekutatan sub-district, the Regent of Tamba also said that besides having an international concept, on the other hand it must also be combined with local culture, especially the typical culture of Jembrana. Jembrana itself has a lot of culture, which is the only one owned by Jembrana, not anywhere else, such as mekepung and the art of Jegog.
"I want later that in addition to the concept of international-scale tourism with various items in it, it will also be filled with Jembrana cultural tourism, such as there are spots for jegog art performances and spots for makepung. It has a very high tourism selling value, because it is the only one ( the only one) only owned by Jembrana Regency," he concluded.
Meanwhile, the developer of the Gilimanuk-Mengwi Toll Road, Tito Sulistio, said that this activity was to equalize perceptions as well as discuss with the Jembrana district government regarding the Gilimanuk-Pekutatan Toll Road Development plan and the Development Plan for the Modern Tourist Destination area in Pekutatan sub-district which was initiated by PT Paramount.
