Parit Malintang, (Antaranews Sumbar) - The Government of Padang Pariaman District, West Sumatra develops the concept of seeing, doing and buying or "to see, to do, and to buy" (3T) to advance the tourism sector in the area.
"We have implemented a number of trainings to Tourism Awareness Group or Pokdarwis to develop the concept and they enthusiastically follow it," Head of Tourism Youth and Sports Office of Padang Pariaman District, Jon Kenedi stated in here on Monday.
He explained by the implementation of the concept, it is expected that tourists do not only see the natural beauty in Padang Pariaman, but also enjoy by following several activities in the tour packages offered by Pokdarwis.
Up to now, there have been many special interest tour packages offered by Pokdarwis, including rafting, tracking or Nyarai exploration, and exploration of Bukit Siriah Mountain View to Lake Maninjau.
"The package offered has brought many tourists and increase the income of citizens who join in Pokdarwis," he noted.
While with the concept of "to buy", tourists are expected to buy travel purposes at the location of visits. It includes foods, drinks and souvenirs so that local residents can feel the impact of tourist attraction development.
"We are still leading to the concept of buying, but gradually the locals have started," he added. (cha)
