PANGANDARAN JAWA BARAT - The Batukaras beach tourism area is small, so when tourist visits are booming, the tourist area will look crowded, "Pangandaran Regent H Jeje Wiradinata told several media crews, Tuesday 17/05/2021.
He said that, apart from looking dense, it was because many local tourists and from other areas did not obey health protocols by not wearing masks.
Today is Tuesday 05-18-2021 tourists who come to Pangandaran will begin to be arranged following the opening of all Pangandaran tourist objects. One form of regulation is through restrictions on ticket sales at each Tolgate tourist attraction, "said Jeje.

From the incidence of visitors to Batukaras Beach, Saturday, 15-5-2021, the number of tourist visits reached 13, 000 people.
So, so that a similar incident does not happen again, we have prepared several alternatives, yes, including limiting the sale of entrance tickets at each tourist Tolgate in Pangandaran Regency, "he said.
In addition, the efforts of the local government have made agreements with the community and tourism businesses in writing about the implementation of health protocols.
If the agreement that has been agreed is violated, there is a risk that the tourism object in question can be closed again, "said Jeje.
Jeje explained that Pangandaran Regency is included in the Covid-19 yellow zone, this must be our common concern, yes, because the Central Government has allowed tourist attractions to reopen.
"For the red and orange zones, the tourist objects cannot be opened, fortunately Pangandaran Regency has experienced a decrease in the number of Covid-19 cases, " he said.
The luck of Pangandaran Regency, said Jeje, we must protect and maintain and we must protect together so that the output of opening tourist objects can be a good economic activity for the community.
