he Tidung Island subdistrict administration recently implemented a new regulation obliging visitors to register during trips that occur outside holiday periods or national holidays.
Tidung Island subdistrict head Surahman said Monday that during holidays, the subdistrict office could obtain visitors' information from travel companies, but said that people who visited the tourist spot outside of holiday periods or national holiday may not be tourists.
'People coming to the island outside of that period are not tourists, moreover if they spend the night here,' Surahman said as quoted by beritajakarta.com.
He added that visitors could report their identity and the purpose of their visit to the neighborhood unit and community unit. 'The main purpose of the regulation is to provide safety and comfort for tourists,' he said.
The administration and the police have dispersed information on the new policy via homestays.
