Tourism expert Joice Lapian says that a lack of cleanliness remains a hurdle in tourism development in North Sulawesi.
“Visitors often complain about the lack of cleanliness in public toilets, such as the ones at the airport,” she said in Manado on Sunday.
“The local government needs to pay attention to this.”
Many public places, especially tourist attractions, are yet to be equipped with bathrooms, kompas.com reported.
“Many potential places don’t have public toilets or bathrooms and as a result, the area has not been developed,” said Joice, a lecturer at Manado’s Sam Ratulangi University.
She said that North Sulawesi had tremendous potential, especially because of its breathtaking natural beauty, but it had been unable to compete with other regions due to its lack of proper facilities.
