Bali Provincial Government is also preparing to develop a sprint rally and speed rally circuit which will be built on a 150-200 hectare land, which is managed by the Sangiang Regional Plantation Company in Jembrana Regency.

The development of sports-based tourism infrastructure in the Jembrana area was carried out because Bali has a combination of beautiful nature and unique cultural richness, so it is very potential if sport tourism is developed.

“Sport tourism is not only presented in Badung, but also in Jembrana, because we have initiated a circuit that will later use our DAK. We will build it together in Jembrana Regency and hopefully this will also be a signal of economic revival,” said Sandiaga.
