“We lack parking space, we here apply an entrance fee with donations so we can’t build parking lots, please pay attention to related parties,” he hoped
“A week before the event it usually starts to get crowded, coincidentally WSBK was not as busy as like MotoGP,” continued Tourism Hamlet Tourism Coordinator Ende.
Andi explained how Ende Hamlet’s tourism efforts carry out promotions, one of which is by collaborating with travel agents.
“We don’t apply tickets here, but we are connected with travel agents who are sold in tour packages,” he said
