Sarif Hidayat, head of the park’s reporting of evaluation data and public relations subdivision, said the non-tax state revenue and total number of visitors recorded was accumulated from all the entry points to the national park, which is sprawled across several regencies.
"[Data on] the number of visitors and the PNBP was collected through [the park’s] four entrances," Sarif said recently as quoted by kompas.com.
The four gates include Penanjakan Resort in Pasuruan regency, Tengger Lautan Pasir Resort in Probolinggo regency and Coban Trisula Resort in Malang regency, as well as the climbing entrance to Semeru Mountain in Ranupani, Lumajang regency. (liz/mut)
