epok in West Java is set to begin offering rafting tourism on Ciliwung River this year. This development will be conducted gradually starting with the construction of four Ciliwung docks in the city.
Depok Youth, Sports, Tourism, Art and Culture Agency head Agus Suherman told tempo.co on Sunday that the agency had completed the study for water tourism. "We are currently preparing the docks since only one is available in GDC [Grand Depok City] area," he said.
Based on the study, the four docks will be built in GDC, Ratujaya, near Panus Bridge and Juanda.

"Natural tourism has great potential in Depok," said Agus. (kes)
