West Java, one of the country’s top destinations for mudik, the traditional exodus for Idul Fitri, saw a significant drop in tourist visits this week during the holiday as fewer people hit the roads amid a decline in consumer purchasing power.
Traffic director Sr. Comr. Dodi Darjanto of the West Java Police reported a significant decline in vehicle traffic to the province's top tourist destinations of Puncak, Lembang and Pangandaran Beach over Idul Fitri this year.
“We saw only 30,000 vehicles passing through Puncak every day, whereas last year the number was around 100,000 to 120,000,” Dodi said on Thursday, as quoted by Kompas.com.
