The Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants Association (PHRI) said Thursday that Sabang city in Aceh province is a potential tourism area and needs investment in luxury hotels.
“It is about time Sabang has a luxury hotel with a capacity of 300 to 500 rooms equipped with other supporting facilities,” PHRI Aceh secretary Zulfikar said as quoted by kompas.com.
Zulfikar said that a luxury hotel was also needed when the city hosts meetings at the national or international scale in the future.
He said Sabang had great potential to be developed as a tourism destination like Bali.
“I'm not comparing Sabang to Bali, but Sabang has enough tourism potential to attract tourists,” he said.
Tourist attractions in Sabang include the Iboih and Gapang areas, which are famous for their undersea beauty.
Sabang is located 14 miles by sea from Banda Aceh, the province's capital. It can be reached by three ferries that regularly serve passengers to and from Sabang.
“I can see that the residents in Sabang hugely support the improvement of tourism in the region. Sabang residents understand how tourism can bring great benefits,” Zulfikar said.
He added that supporting infrastructure in Sabang like roads are already in good condition.
