"Especially for Borobudur, which has a potential of up to 42 million visitors, it can become a spiritual tourism destination that can accommodate over 20 million foreign tourist visits," he remarked.
Furthermore, the Minister Sandiaga Uno emphasized the importance of developing infrastructure around Borobudur, such as Yogyakarta International Airport, railways, toll roads, and tourist villages.
