NUSA RAA ISLE TO BE DEVELOPED INTO TOURIST RESORT
Ternate, July 7 (ANTARA) - The South Halmahera District administration will develop Nusa Raa isle into a tourist resort for its beauty and marine wealth.
"The isle has very beautiful white sandy beaches and enchanting under-sea panoramas," South Halmahera Deputy District Chief Rusly A Wally said here on Monday.
The isle is located near Babang seaport in South Halmahera District, North Maluku province. From Babang it takes only 10 minutes by a speedboat to reach Nusa Raa.
The local authorities have outlined plans to construct a number of supporting and infrastructure facilities on the isle and then promote the island domestically and internationally in cooperation with travel bureaus.
The district administration is also inviting investors to join the development of the isle and promising to give various incentives to businessmen investing on the isle, he said.
In addition to Nusa Raa Isle, other interesting places in South Halmahera include Guraici Beach, an old fortress, Bacan sultan's palace, a rubber plantation developed during the Dutch colonial era, and Widi isle.
Widi isle has a marine park which is not less beautiful than that in Bunaken (North Sulawesi Province) or Wakatobi (Southeast Sulawesi Province, according to him. The isle also has a white sandy beach.
