Sleman Regency officials promote local tourism and economic hubs

Sleman Regent Harda Kiswaya has officially inaugurated Pancuran Tuk Bulus as a new tourist destination in the Bimomartani village of Ngemplak. The site features natural spring water and offers various facilities, including adult and children's bathing pools, fish therapy pools, turtle ponds, gardens, and a cultural house for traditional performances such as karawitan and jatilan.

Kiswaya emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration between the community, government, and academic institutions to ensure tourism development benefits the local population. Previously, the water source was used primarily for bathing and agricultural irrigation.

In a separate economic initiative, the Sleman Regency government is positioning Pasar Godean as a primary driver for the regional economy. The traditional market serves as a shopping hub for residents of Sleman and neighboring areas like Kulon Progo and Magelang due to its strategic location and affordable commodities.

To mark the first anniversary of the market's operations, local traders organized community events, including blood donations and the distribution of 4,000 food portions to the public.
