The South Kalimantan Forestry Agency has reopened the natural conservation and tourism area of the Sultan Adam Public Forest Park (Tahura SA) for visits after being closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Acting Governor Safrizal ZA, who made his first visit when the Tahura was opened on Friday said Sultan Adam Public Forest Park apart from a nature conservation area, its beauty can be used as a tourist spot.
"Not only for local (tourism), but also potentially as an attractive tourist destination nationally," he said.
He hopes that in the future the Tahura facility can be further improved both as conservation and fully utilized as a tourist destination in South Kalimantan.
He added that the location of the Tahura is also very easy and convenient to access, only about 30 minutes to 45 minutes from Syamsudin Noor International Airport.
According to Safrizal, the natural condition of the Tahura which is still harmoniously beautiful, with clean and cool air, and from a historical aspect has many historical heritage sites, is a recommendation as a mainstay tourist attraction in South Kalimantan, for local and foreign tourist.
