JAYAPURA - Pemerintah Provinsi Papua mendorong dibukanya akses layanan kapal penumpang Pelni masuk di kabupaten Sarmi dan Waropen.
Menurut Sekretaris Daerah (Sekda) Papua Ridwan Rumasukun, hal demikian untuk mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi di dua wilayah tersebut, lewat pergerakan arus barang dan jasa.
"Sudah ada kapal-kapal perintis yang masuk ke dua daerah ini dan sangat membantu. Tapi kita juga butuh kapal penumpang Pelni masuk ke Sarmi dan Waropen," ucap Sekda Rumasukun usai memimpin Upacara Peringatan Hari Perhubungan Nasional (Harhubnas) Tahun 2024.
Upacara berlangsung di Halaman Kantor Gubernur setempat, Jl. Soa Siu Dok II Kota Jayapura, Selasa (17/9/2024) pagi.
Tak sampai disitu, pihaknya mendorong pemerintah pusat mempertimbangkan kembali tarif batas dan batas bawah tiket pesawat domestik di Papua. Pasalnya tarif tiket pesawat ke luar Papua masih tergolong tinggi sampai saat ini.
"Tarif tiket pesawat ini memang kebijakannya di pusat. Mohon dipertimbangkan supaya kita Papua tidak jauh tertinggal dengan daerah lain."
"Sebab tarif tiket pesawat yang mahal dapat menurunkan potensi pariwisata yang bakal berimbas pada perekonomian daerah. Tentunya dapat mempengaruhi pula inflasi daerah yang berdampak membengkaknya kebutuhan rumah tangga," kata dia.
Sekda menambahkan, tingkat kunjungan wisatawan ke Papua juga berpengaruh terhadap transportasi. Dengan demikian, bidang pariwisata Papua akan berjalan maksimal apabila harga tiket pesawat murah.
"Begitupun dengan perekonomian daerah akan bergerak kalau harga tiket pesawat murah,"tuturnya. ***
JAYAPURA - The Papua Provincial Government is encouraging the opening of access to Pelni passenger ship services in Sarmi and Waropen districts.
According to Papua Regional Secretary Ridwan Rumasukun, it is to encourage economic growth in the two regions, through the movement of goods and services.
"There have been pioneer ships that have entered these two areas and are very helpful. But we also need Pelni passenger ships to enter Sarmi and Waropen," said Regional Secretary Rumasukun after leading the Commemoration of the 2024 National Transportation Day.
The ceremony took place in the courtyard of the local Governor's Office, Soa Siu Street Dok II, Jayapura City, Tuesday (17/9/2024) morning.
Not only that, he encouraged the central government to reconsider the limit and lower limit rates for domestic air tickets in Papua. The reason is that airfares outside Papua are still relatively high to date.
"This airfare is indeed the policy of the central government. Please consider that we Papua are not far behind other regions."
"Because expensive flight tickets can reduce tourism potential which will have an impact on the regional economy. Of course, it can also affect regional inflation which has an impact on swelling household needs," he said.
The Regional Secretary added that the level of tourist visits to Papua also affects transportation. Thus, the Papuan tourism sector will run optimally if it has lower airfare.
"Likewise, the regional economy will move if the flight ticket is cheap," he said. ***
