ANADO: The Manado city administration is to build a zoo to boost tourism, especially its ecotourism potential, an official said on Sunday.
'There are two alternatives [under consideration] for the location of the zoo'Manado Tua Island in Bunaken and Gunung Tumpa in Manado,' Manado mayor Vicky Lumentut said on Sunday as quoted by Antara news agency.
'We need a new tourist attraction in Manado Tua to attract more visitors and that is a zoo,' Lumentut said.
Bunaken, which was declared a national park in 1991, was among the first of Indonesia's marine parks.
Lumentut invited investors interested in building the zoo and promised to give easy access to serious investors.
