As such, it is no surprise that many countries are already looking at ways to save their economies, especially in anticipation of the post-pandemic era.
One such country is Indonesia.
According to a report in Mashable SEA, popular tourist destination Bali is set to become home to the largest theme park in Southeast Asia.
Collabration with Paramount pictures
The report, quoting People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Speaker Bambang Soesatyo, says Paramount Pictures has signed a deal with Indonesian company PT Kios Ria Kreasi to start building a theme park in the Jembrana regency.
This move is to boost Bali’s economy and international tourism standing post-pandemic.
“The development of Paramount theme park will strengthen Bali’s position as a recreational and entertainment hub for world citizens,” said Bambang.
Bambang said the location of the theme park is strategic as is it a toll road development area connecting the Gilimanuk port to the cities of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, and Tabanan, which means that it will be easily accessible.
"It will make Bali even more charming in the eyes of world tourists," Bamsoet says.
The park is estimated to hold a soft launch in 2025.
