45 Million Shipments From Abroad Through Batam, This is BP Batam's Plan

It prepares a quota for tourist needs, before the parent quota is determined.

So in the preparation of import quotas and the needs of community, also consider the needs of tourists.

Good consumption in Batam for souvenirs.

BP Batam Deputy Area Management and Investment, Sudirman Saad stressed that to calculate import needs, it could not only count the population of 1.3 million people.

However, it must pay attention to tourists entering Batam, more than 2 million.

Both domestic tourists and foreign tourists. Not including foreign tourists who enter Batam.

"We also calculate the needs of tourists. So the need for importing goods must consider the tourists," said Sudirman, Tuesday (1/28/2020).

He considered the needs of Batam citizens, not all original for the residents of Batam.

But must think of tourists.

"Batam is also extraordinary. More foreign tourists than residents," he said. (tribunbatam.id / Roma Uly Sianturi)
