via Tempo, 12 March 2021: Plans to build tourism around Borobudur to alleviate overcapacity.
Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno said his ministry plans to build Borobudur Highland in Purworejo Regency. The plan is in line with the reconstruction of the popular tourist destination in the region, the Borobudur Temple.
The minister explained Borobudur Highland will become an integrated destination comprising a number of tourism villages. “Tourism villages will be involved,” Sandiaga said in a written statement on Saturday, March 13.
Borobudur Highland covers the 309 hectares of Manoreh hills tourism area in Purworejo, located 12 kilometers from the Borobudur Temple to the west.
Therefore, the center of tourist destination will no longer be at the Borobudur Temple. Meanwhile, the government will limit tourist visits to the temple as the capacity is overloaded.
