During the Christmas and New Year holidays, Gunungkidul tourism is open 24 hours – The Gunungkidul Regency Government (Pemkab) is still open and collecting fees at recreation areas 24 hours a day during the Christmas and New Year (Nataru) holidays.

Head of the Gunungkidul Tourism Department (Dispar), Asti Wijayanti, explained that his faction does not limit visitors like other regions from visiting recreational areas.

According to him, although visiting capacity is limited, fewer visitors arrive than the territory's capacity, especially coastal areas. Regarding this, the fact that recreation areas are still open until the evening is that many tourists arrive at several Gunungkidul recreation areas, especially the beaches at night.

In fact, there is actually a provision that the opening hours of recreational areas are limited to 22.00 WIB, so tourists are advised to arrive during the day. "However, many travelers arrive later than 22.00 WIB, especially outside the city. "If we don't open it, it will be difficult to control it," said Asti.

Asti continued, the Gunungkidul Tourism Office prioritizes implementing health procedures for travelers. Because of this, the faction includes 511 personnel from various elements, starting from the apparatus, Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD), sub-districts, sub-districts, SAR, to community groups.

All personnel worked full time for 11 days, from 24 December 2020 to 3 January 2020. Asti advised travelers to always wear masks, not wear bedclothes, and not cover themselves when visiting.

Initially, the Secretary of the Gunungkidul Tourism Department, Harry Sukmono, said that for recreational purposes only the area of ​​the Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano was closed at night. Other recreational areas can be visited at night, especially beaches.

"You can spend the night in coastal areas, but still maintain health procedures, don't gather in crowds, don't set off fireworks, and still wear a mask," said Harry.
