Super priority destinations developed by the Indonesian government
The Indonesian government is accelerating tourism development in Likupang by turning it into a special economic zone (SEZ). The economic zone is designed for middle to upper market resort areas.
Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno invited 25 foreign and domestic investors to invest in Likupang, North Sulawesi. Likupang is one of the 5 super priority tourist destinations being developed by the government.
Toll access to Likupang has also been planned. The plan is that the Manado-Bitung toll road, which was just inaugurated on February 25, 2022, will develop its access so that the Manado-Likupang route can be reached within 30 minutes.
