Jayapura City has various natural, religious, and historical tourist destinations, such as Hamadi Beach, Dok 2 Beach, Base-G Beach, Holtekamp Beach, Japanese Army Landing Monument, Youtefa Bridge, and Holtekamp Beach, as well as hot springs in Muara District Tami, which is well worth a visit.

"That is a focus that needs to be restructured and regulated throughout the infrastructure, both facilities and infrastructure, starting from accommodation to restaurants and hotels," said Matias.

In addition to developing and structuring tourist areas, Matias said, his party also focuses on cleaning and infrastructure arrangements.

The holding of various events that are able to promote tourism potential in the capital of Papua Province, according to Matias Mano, is able to have implications for increasing visitors and the economy of residents, especially those managing tourist attractions.

"If explored properly, of course it will bring many benefits and benefits to the people of Jayapura City," said Matias Mano.

The Deputy Mayor of Jayapura, Rustan Saru, said that the development and arrangement of tourist areas must also be supported by people from various elements in Jayapura City.

"By paying attention to the conditions and changes in tourism development, a strategy is needed so that the development and arrangement of tourist areas can be carried out properly," said Rustan.
