YOGYAKARTA: Borobudur Green Map was launched Monday in an effort to preserve the old Buddhist temple and its surrounding area.

Green Map program coordinator Kristanti Wisnu Aji Wardani revealed the map described the geographical site of the temple and social conditions around the tourist destination.

"So far tourists only visit the temple and back home. Actually, there are so many interesting things in villages around the temple," Kristanti said after the launch ceremony at Ngaran hamlet, Borobudur village, Magelang regency.

She said 20 hamlets around the temple had tourism potential.

"Many of the tourists don't know about the hamlets." - JP
