Currently, West Java ranks first in the Indonesia Muslim Travel Index among 15 provinces. Its advantages lie in service quality, environmental sustainability, and strong promotion. However, challenges remain, especially regarding accessibility. Transportation convenience for foreign tourists is an area for continuous improvement.
Developing Tour Routes
According to Rispiaga, officials are designing specific travel routes for international tourists, such as those from Malaysia and the Middle East.
The journey begins at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, followed by a high-speed train trip to Bandung. The route includes Subang for hot springs, then explorations of Greater Bandung, Cianjur, and Bogor before departure. Future development will focus on interregional connectivity, including routes to Cirebon and East Priangan to provide a comprehensive travel experience.
