The Riau Archipelago (Kepri) has so much natural beauty that attracts many tourists to visit. One of them is Sunset Beach nature tourism in Sungai Buluh Village, West Singkep District, Lingga Regency. Sunset Beach tourism is widely known by local residents because it has natural beauty with sunset panoramas, clean seas, and mangrove trees. No wonder local residents make this location a tourist spot on the weekends with family and friends. Even many visitors who come from outside Singkep Island come to Sunset Beach. The Head of the Riau Islands Tourism Office (Dinpar) Buralimar said, to support tourism development around Sungai Buluh Village, his party had prepared various facilities for the community. Unfortunately, some of the facilities that are already available are starting to rot, so they need to be repaired. He also invited the public to participate in creating facilities with government-assisted access. In line with Buralimar, Acting Head of the Riau Islands Dinpar Luki Zaiman Prawira said data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for the January-July 2022 period showed that the number of foreign tourist visits to Riau Islands increased to 175,000 people.
“The increase in tourist arrivals in Riau Islands is a great opportunity to increase tourist arrivals to Riau Islands. The government is also expected to be active in promoting tourism to various regions, including Singapore and Malaysia. "One way of promotion is by holding the Tour De Bintan event, which is the largest international class racing event in Asia which will be held from Friday (14/10/2022) to Sunday (16/10/2022)," explained Luki . In addition, Luki continued, to attract foreign tourists from Malaysia, in the near future Riau Islands Governor Ansar Ahmad will attend a halal tourism event in Johor, Malaysia. said Luke.
