“Until now, tourism to Raja Ampat Papua is still expensive because the transportation facilities are inadequate, inevitably the air route must be passed, and plane rentals, special car rentals, because the terrain is rather difficult,” explained David, the manager of Wahana Tour. Okayzone in Jakarta.

He regretted that the government should pay attention to this aspect as a tourist attraction that has not been maximized regarding access to Raja Ampat, even though this is a proud potential for Indonesia in the tourism sector.

When it comes to budget, he adds a minimum of IDR 15 million for traveler who travel. That price already low budget. In fact, with this amount, we can travel abroad, for example to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand. The high price makes tourists confused, wanting to travel within the country, or explore other countries.

“Although transportation is still difficult, so you have to spend a lot of money. Once there, the beauty of the marine life is amazing, colorful coral reefs, clear sea water, clean air in Raja Ampat. The marine life is amazing,” he concluded.
