via Antara News, 15 June 2023: The Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Ministry believes Borobudur Temple in Central Java needs more attractions to entertain visitors and prevent potential damage to the temple.
The Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Ministry has said that Borobudur Temple in Magelang, Central Java, lacks interesting attractions for entertaining visitors.
“If we pay attention to that place, everyone just revolves around the temple because there are no other attractions, and it is currently the main issue with Borobudur,” director general of culture at the ministry, Hilmar Farid, said at the Katadata Insight Center, as observed from here on Thursday.
If visitors take a closer look, Borobudur Temple’s selling point not only lies in its structure, but also the 80 hectares of land surrounding it, he pointed out. Yet despite the vast area, there are no interesting attractions or events to entertain visitors before they go to the temple, Farid added.
