Regional Secretary (Sekda) Kadarmanta Baskara Aji DIY said safety is the main point that must be obeyed by the organizers of tourist attractions.
“We must guarantee the safety and comfort of tourists so that we can still be trusted as organizers of comfortable and safe tourist destinations,” said Kadarmanta at the Kepatihan Complex, Yogyakarta, Thursday (6/1) as reported by Antara.

“Information that we received, the use of the crane does not yet have a permit, its use is not in accordance with the specifications of the goods, of course there must also be someone who guarantees its safety,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of the DIY Tourism Office, Singgih Rahajo, said that apart from using inappropriate tools, the location of the rides on the shoreline was also very risky for the safety of tourists.
