The Riyadh Group is planning to further develop the Anai Golf & Mountain Resort located in Anai Valley, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra.
In the first phase the development of the project will require an investment of about Rp 1.5 trillion over a period of 5 years.
"The tourism industry in West Sumatra is growing in line with the growth of the national economy. The Anai Valley tourism area is also becoming a major tourist destination in West Sumatra." said Bally Saputra, President-Director of the Riyadh Group on Monday (22/12).
In a written statement, Bally says that Riyadh together with PT Andalas Anaipermai International have signed a memorandum of understanding for development of the Anai Golf & Mountain Resort.
The plan is to build a 1000-room hotel and a convention hall that accommodates 5000 people on the site. "This will help hotels in the neighborhood also to accommodate the additional flow of guests."
This integrated tourism resort covers 400 hectares at the base of Mt. Tandikat at a height of 600-700 meters above sea level, providing for a cool mountain climate.
The founder of Andalas Anaipermai, Siswono Yudo Husodo, states that West Sumatra is worthy to become Indonesia's second national holiday destination, after the island of Bali.
"These days the amount of people traveling for holidays is tremendous. West Sumatra has adequate resources to be a tourist destination besides Bali. Characteristic architecture, art, as well as cuisine found in West Sumatra have an excellence that will attract foreign tourists."
According to Siswono the West Sumatra government supports Anai Valley to become a tourist destination.
