The establishment of the Situ Gede tourist attraction in the City of Tasikmalaya, according to Kang Emil, the greeting from the governor of West Java, was one of the initiatives the provincial government of West Java had in place to draw tourists.

Even though it is not yet finished and there are still many issues that need to be resolved from various angles, the Situ Gede area is prepared to welcome visitors. "The first stage of the revitalization of Situ Gede has been completed, and the West Java Provincial Government is also prepared to provide a budget for the second phase.

When the traders were on the border of Situ, they obstructed the view of Situ Gede, which was breathtaking. So that visitors could still be protected from the heat and rain, shady trees will now be present in the initial stage of the arrangement around the lesehan dining area, the official said.

Emil continued that the West Java Provincial Government recommended that Tasikmalaya City Government upgrade the amenities surrounding the Situ Gede tourist destination. because there has not yet been a location that can be used as a place to stay.

We instructed the Mayor to also invite investors to make accommodations, but in terms of further arrangements we will have to wait for the appropriate time, he said. "If I were a tourist, I would have a choice of staying in town or here and it seemed comfortable on the other side.". On the other hand, as Head of the West Java Province Water Resources (SDA) Service, Dicky Ahmad Sidik, explained, the first stage of revitalizing the arrangement was carried out on the eastern side of Situ, beginning with the repair of the embankment arrangement of pedestrian paths, making a balacrekkan above and kiosks, restrooms, etc.

"DED is only a portion of the first stage's requirement; IDR 45 billion is needed in total. The structuring work will only account for 25 to 30 percent of the total amount in 2022, which will only be around IDR 8 billion.

Continuation of Situ Gede's revitalization is probably going to happen in 2024, and it will be adjusted based on the budget's availability, he said. Situ Gede is one of the city's tourist attractions, according to Tasikmalaya City's acting (Pj) mayor, Cheka Virgowansyah.
