Pariaman, (Antara Sumbar) - The Mayor of Pariaman, West Sumatra, Mukhlis Rahman appealed to tourists visiting the area to avoid shopping at restaurants that do not provide a list of food prices.

"The local government has asked several restaurant entrepreneurs to provide food price list, but many of them do not pay attention," he said in Pariaman on Thursday.

He said it aims to suppress extortion measures to visitors in the area by unscrupulous traders.

"This is a form of anticipation by local government after hearing several times of complaints from tourists complaining about the high food prices in Pariaman," he said.

Therefore, he said, local government appealed to all tourists who come to Pariaman in order to do not shop at a restaurant without providing food tariffs.

In addition, local governments also appeal to tourists who feel aggrieved to report to local government in case of alleged extortion by rogue merchants.

"Do not be afraid to complain if there is extortion such as food prices, all parties must cooperate with each other in combating it," the mayor said.

Nevertheless he said, there are some restaurants in the area that provide food prices to visitors.

According to him, it can smear the good name of local government, especially the world of tourism that has been built as possible.

"It is useless for government and tourism actors to develop tourism potential if the quality and behavior of people are not in line with the vision of regional mission," he said. (cha)
