The Aerotropolis was prepared by the Provincial Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) through the DIY Tourism Office in order to support the Jakarta Bandung Fast Train or KCJB which is programmed to stop in Yogyakarta.
Acting Head of Service / Head of Tourism Destinations at the Yogyakarta Provincial Tourism Office Kurniawan in Parangtritis, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta said on Thursday, “Right now we are preparing the development of what is called an aerotropolis around the airport. sure the fast train intersects with the air mode.”
Based on this growing experience, if air and land modes are connected. Aerotropolis is an urban development in the airport area, added Kurniawan.
“That’s what we are preparing because with fast trains with electric bus modes and new routes developed by Jogja Borobudur, yia Jogja, this must be responded to by the provincial government quickly, including the spatial aspect,” he said.
If there is a high-speed rail line later, what areas will be affected, which areas must be protected, such as geoheritage and rice fields protected so that sustainable tourism can continue. Pemprov has prepared all the anticipation, he said.
The stop by the Jakarta Bandung High Speed Train in Yogyakarta, as part of an expansion program to Surabaya, is sure to have an increasingly extraordinary impact. This is because in Yogyakarta there are three destinations, namely Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple and the Yogyakarta Palace, as a tourist heritage that other regions do not have.
