INFOKU, BLORA –To attract tourism to Blora by plane, two villages near Ngloram Airport will be conceptualized as religious tourism.
Namely Jipang Village and Ngloram Village. The two villages have the potential for cultural heritage sites and tombs of ancient saints such as Gedong Ageng and Sunan Ngudung.
The head of Jipang Ngadi Village said that the potential for his village to be conceptualized as religious tourism is because it is rich in history, including the Gedong Ageng Cemetery.
Currently cooperating with a team from Pekalongan to take the concept seriously.
"We asked for help from the team from Pekalongan, to help organize this religious tourism," he explained.
Ngadi hopes that the regency government will help accelerate the concept of religious tourism to be realized.

It is reasonable, because village tourism is being developed to support the activation of Ngloram Airport.
"Currently the airport is active again, in order to support airport activation," he explained.
Jipang Square was also built from the provincial budget assistance worth IDR 2.7 billion.
Of course, this is a support for religious tourism in the village. Currently, several trading stalls are standing in front of the cultural heritage site of the Gedong Ageng Cemetery.
Previously, the regency government in a coordination meeting last Monday (30/1) was preparing tourist destinations to support airport activation so that it remained sustainable.
Regional Secretary (Sekda) Blora Komang G Irawadi hopes that tourism operators will start to improve and prepare tour packages. ( Endah / IST )
