Kepri Still Sidelined from National Tourism Strategy

Situated at the crossroads of Malaysia and Singapore, Kepri holds immense potential as Indonesia’s foremost gateway for tourists. However, despite its strategic location, Kepri continues to remain overshadowed by other destinations such as Bali. Experts emphasize the need to shift the focus of promotion to capitalize on Kepri’s proximity to major international travel hubs. By developing cross-border tourism strategies, Kepri can serve as a pivotal component in boosting national tourist influx, offering savings on travel costs and time. This, in turn, can significantly expedite both regional and national economic development.
