Barabai, S Kalimantan (Antaranews Kalsel) - The development of new tourist destinations encourages small businesses to try to grow. One of them is the household business of producing typical cincin cake in Haliau Village, Batu Benawa Subdistrict, Central Hulu Sungai (HST), which is managed by Ifansyah Noorhidayat and his nephew Sulastri.
Ifansyah said he tries to lift back the Haliau cincin cake (wadai cincin) that had an attractive taste and prioritized natural ingredients.
"Actually, the manufacture of cincin has long been carried out, but not so widely can be marketed. As visitors increase to the new attraction, it is an opportunity that must be utilized," he said, Monday (28/1).
In Haliau Village is now developing a new attraction, Limbuhang ecotourism, not far from the popular tourist attractions of Pagat. But the difference in river water, Pagat has warm water, here the water is cold, even described as very cold, and is said to come directly from the ground.
"The atmosphere is cold for refreshing the body. This place is called" banyu dingin "or cold water by residents because of the unique characteristics of the water," Ifansyah said.

In addition to reviving the charisma of Wadai Cincin, he also made food products in the form of crackers, tempe chips, and rampeye which were marketed around the area of Batu Benawa and Hantakan Subdistricts.
For the time being, marketing is still local and waiting for buyers passing to the tourist attraction. He hopes that the plan to establish a village-owned enterprise (BUMDes) in Haliau Village can have the effect of increasing the welfare of the local residents.
Meanwhile, Sulastri said that the tempe chips is homemade have been a few years ago and had penetrated several retail stores and stalls in the city of Barabai.
"We from the SMEs in Haliau Village hope to get guidance and assistance to market both manually and online," she said.
