Berau regency is ready to host the Derawan Festival with People's Welfare Coordinating Minister Agung Laksono promising his support.
'People's Welfare Coordinating Minister Agung Laksono met Berau regent Makmur HAPK in Jakarta recently,' said Berau's head of public relations and protocol, Mappasikra Mappaseleng, on Tuesday.
'The infrastructure in the Derawan Islands and other tourism islands is ready. The Berau regent asks its stakeholders to support improving infrastructure, instead of building a new airport facility,' said Mappasikra, as quoted by Antara news agency.
Kalimarau airport will receive money from the state budget for runway repairs.
Through the People's Welfare Coordinating Ministry, other ministries can provide support for tourism during the festival.
'Hopefully, a mooring can be provided using Transportation Ministry budget,' said Mappasikra, adding that Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry may also support the Berau tourism and culture agency's activities.
Derawan Festival will commence in June and peak in September. (asw/ebf)
