Except for Karimunjawa, all tourist destinations in Jepara are closed – The Jepara Regency Government, Central Java has confirmed that all tourist attractions will be closed during the 2021 Christmas and New Year holidays. However, the Karimunjawa National Park tourist attraction is still open.

"Karimunjawa National Park is still open during the Christmas holiday," said the Head of the Karimunjawa National Park Office.

Titi explained that there are certain facts that Karimunjawa is still open. According to him, Karimunjawa is an object tour regulated by the central government. Meanwhile, the Jepara Regency Government circular means that it is a tourist attraction regulated by the regional government, hamlet government and residents.

"I have collaborated with the Kadispar (Head of the Jepara Tourism Service) and the Karimunjawa National Park is not included in the letter because the Karimunjawa National Park is managed by the central government," he explained.

Even so, Titi said travelers to Karimunjawa must apply strict health procedures. Like having to bring a rapid antigen test letter. Apart from that, there is also an age limitation of between 10 years and 60 years as referenced by the Governor of Central Java.

"For travelers outside Central Java, rapid antigen is required, so it needs to be tightened at the Jepara pier. "Apart from that, there is also an age limit of between 10 and 60 years according to the reference from the Governor of Central Java," he said.

But he continued, Titi regretted the regulations of the Jepara Regency Transportation Service which added a crossing route towards Karimunjawa. Because according to him, visits to Karimunjawa are limited to around 300 people per week.

"I just regret that the additional ship routes could result in an increase in tourists to Karimunjawa National Park, even though in fact there is a limit on package visits there of around 300 people per week," said Titi.

Supomo, interviewed separately by the Head of Piers at the Jepara Regency Transportation Service, explained that there were additional crossing routes to the Karimunjawa National Park tourist attraction. Additional crossing routes on Friday (25/12) and Sunday (27/12).

"Tomorrow (Friday) the Maritime Express ship will depart at 7.00 WIB from Jepara, again at 10.00 WIB from Karimunjawa towards Jepara. And at 1.30 WIB from Jepara to Karimunjawa. "Again, for Sunday 27 December 2020, crossings from Karimunjawa at 7.00 WIB, Jepara to Karimunjawa at 10.00 WIB, and Karimunjawa to Jepara at 1.30, those are additional (crossing routes)," said Supomo when asked for verification by detikcom via telephone network, this Thursday.

Supomo explained that travelers arriving in Karimunjawa must bring a Corona-free letter. Besides that, passengers to Karimunjawa are limited to 50%.

“Those who boarded the ship the other day were given rapid tests. Again, the Regent's (Jepara) regulations start tomorrow morning for rapid antigen testing. Yes, whether from Jepara, Central Java or outside Java. Meanwhile, residents of Karimunjawa only provide KTP. Limit the number of passengers to half of the ship. 400 made 248," explained Supomo.

The Jepara Regency Government, Central Java has confirmed that all tourist attractions will be closed during the 2021 Christmas and New Year holidays. The closure of tourist attractions in Carving City will begin Thursday, December 24 2020, until January 3 2021.
