Borobudur Temple Tourist Park in Magelang, Central Java, is planning to open a special route to accommodate foreign tourists.
The park's general manager, I Gusti Putu Ngurah Sedana, said the temple's management was seeking to provide foreign tourists with the best services possible with the new route.
“Foreign tourists do not want to encounter any obstacles or disturbances on their way to the temple. They want a safe and convenient route to and from the temple,” Sedana said as quoted by kompas.com.
He added that the management expected the new route to be finished prior to the peak of the tourist period between July and October.

The move also aimed to attract more international tourists, he said.
“The special route will allow foreign tourists to immediately head toward the temple from the main gate. They will also be shuttled by electric cars to the parking lot on their way back,” Sendana said. (rfa/kes)
