The Indonesian tourist resort island of Bali expects to finish the construction of a special tourist port worth Rp 92 billion in Tanah Ampo, Karangasem regency, this year, Karangasem Regent Wayan Geredeg said.
Wayan Geredeg said that the construction of the port is built in cooperation among three parties, namely the Karangasem regency administration, the provincial government of Bali, and the central government.
He said that Karangasem regency administration has provided land plot for the port while the Bali provincial government and the central government provided funds worth Rp22 billion and Rp70 billion respectively.
According to the Wayan Geredeg, the physical construction of the port has already been started, but he said that its master plan was still in the stage of submission before a recommendation could be asked from the central government. “For this purpose, we still need a recommendation from the Bali governor,” he said.
He said that the special tourist port located in the eastern tip of Bali island would be very important for the development of Bali tourism. “A number of international cruise ship operators have contacted us, asking when the port would be operational,” Wayan Gredeg said.
