  • Suggestion: should provide a signage that indicate the location of village
    (tourists who have entered the Ngrajek Village area know the village)
  • The creative industry does not need too much infrastructure development, so it is quite suitable for the environmentally friendly development model in Ngrajek Village

  • Tourism is an added value, but the most important thing is that the world heritage can be preserved. Ecology must be preserved and maintained
