TANAH DATAR, POTRETKITA.net - Nagari Pariangan in Tanah Datar Regency was once included in the category, one of the most beautiful villages in the world according to Travel Budget Magazine from the United States.
Now, the village has received the Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia (AWI) 2022, marked by the signing of an inscription by the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Wednesday (6/7), in a fairly loose ceremonial procession.
Mas Minister, as Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno is familiarly called, said, to promote or popularize a tourist attraction, the most important thing is to use community-based tourism. "It is the community who manages, fosters, and guides tourism which brings economic opportunities so as to create jobs," he said.
According to him, tourism development, tourism institutions are something that must be formed, so that sustainable tourism is created. Tourism institutions, he stressed, are something that is integrated between the government, organizations, tourism actors, regulations, and technical implementation, which takes place continuously.
"We and the jury also tested several categories, one of which was institutional, because we didn't want to be selected to be in the top 50 ADWI but it was not sustainable. We hope that this village will bring prosperity to the community and increase the community's economy," he said.
In tourism development, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy also cooperates with Astra as a strategic partner, in building tourist villages that have a large impact on the economic revival of the community after the Covid-19 pandemic.
West Sumatra Governor Buya H. Mahyeldi Ansharullah on that occasion said hospitality and cleanliness were important indicators in increasing visits to tourist destinations.
Collaborating and helping each other are also things that must be maintained, because it is proven that tourism is one of the most effective in improving the community's economy. "God willing, in 2023 there will be several events that are prepared on an international, national and regional scale and are expected to increase visits to West Sumatra and Tanah Datar," he said.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Regent of Tanah Datar Richi Aprian expressed his gratitude and congratulations for Nagari Tuo Pariangan entering the top 50 of ADWI 2022 along with other regions in Indonesia.
"Thank God, Tanah Datar was blessed with being visited by the minister and at the same time entering 50 ADWI. Together, there is nothing that cannot be done, hopefully what has been achieved is also beneficial for the minister and especially the people of Tanah Datar," he said.(MUSRIADI MUSANIF, this article translated from Indonesian to English by google translate)
