Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta, Indonesia to Allow 7,000 Daily Visitors

“During each phase, the agency oversees our measures and so far, we have been given good scores that have allowed us to receive approval to continually increase the number of visitors to Prambanan Temple.”

The tentative new quota of 7,000 people is around 60 percent of the average number of visitors that came to the Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta pre-pandemic.

“This is why we have to do it in phases because our priority is to adhere to Covid-19 health protocols and in properly implementing it.”

“We want to present a travel destination that is safe and healthy, but without making it uncomfortable for tourists.”

Edy asserted that the focus is on the health protocols particularly by providing training to staff members for the proper adoption of the procedures.

“The way we handle 7,000 people will be different than if there were 1,500 or 2,500. The condition will also be different thus this is something we will have to continue evaluating.”

Edy has asked all visitors coming to the Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta to abide by standard health protocols such as wearing a three-layer face mask.

“Wearing a face mask properly is the easiest way to prevent Covid-19 transmission. Using a mask reduces our risk of virus transmission by nearly 80 percent under the condition that it is three-layer and worn properly.”
