Access Improvements
A sea plane air taxi service may be contemplated as demand for access to newly occupied or remote islands
increases. This service may be managed by private sector or public sector. MP3EI planning provides for
significant additions to capacity on Jemaja Island for visiting vessel marinas, cruise ships, ship services,
oil and gas terminals, an international airport, and fishing port / fish processing. All of these improvements
may be considered as private sector investment opportunities. Countries nearby with major outbound tourism
potentials include Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and to a lesser extent Myanmar, Brunei, and Cambodia.
With increased airport capacity, direct domestic flights from Jakarta and Bali are under consideration.

2) Tourism Development
Transportation and Utilities
Some roads are paved, others are in graded condition only.
Except for Siantan, on - island transportation is limited to motorcycles. Fuel must be bought at shops, as there are
no petrol stations.
There are many tracks suitable for mountain biking, but bicycles for rent are in limited supply. Supply of electricity,
potable water, and communication systems are also limited, although improvements in service are in process.
In accordance with the intention of MP3EI (Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Development) investors
and developers are encouraged to apply for priority upgrade and / or installation of roads and utilities to
remote locations.
Opportunities
Please refer to : MAP
The Regency administration has identified several beaches or islands prime for development. These include :
1) Padang Melang Beach – 7.6 km white sand beach
2) Pulau Langor – small rock island with white-sand sand-spit
3) North Beach, Nyamuk island
4) Pahat Island
5) Mangrove forest, Teluk Sunting
There are other significant whole-of-island destination tourism opportunities that may be identified and
considered for early investment. Additionally, investment in high speed, high capacity sea, and air transportation
is encouraged. On islands, a network of electric carts and other sustainable forms of transportation should be
considered. Individual beachfront parcels or islands may be acquired by private sector entities for eco - sensitive

Considerations
1) The area being offered in this proposal is ready cooperated
2) Inhabited and un-inhabited islands within the Anambas archipelago may be considered as remote enough to
offer sustainable retreat, retirement and special destination hospitality.
3) Rapidly increasing numbers of special marine interest visitors shall require a range of hospitality facilities.
4) Agreement shall be reached about creation of further island sea and air travel hubs where local entrepreneurs
can offer goods and services to domestic and foreign visitors.
5) Primary challenges to the Regency may include :
Timely upgrading and expansion of local airports as demand increases.
Timely completion of upgraded roads between airports and new tourism developments.
Installation of arrival jetty and welcome centre for float plane service on select islands.
Timely expansion of public utility networks including potable water; black water; power; telecoms and data;
waste collection. Agreement may be reached about alternative energy and water sources.
Uplift of service support and training of residents to achieve eco-focused, tourism based community
development. Inward migration of trained hospitality workers is to be expected.
Administration of building rules & regulations that ensure compliance with international standards of
construction, whilst respecting indigenous architectural forms and use of materials.
6) Healthy interaction between visitors, guests and resident hosts shall be encouraged.Generally this may be
achieved by means of managed public access to all water-front areas, ferry facilities, and centres of township
waterfront activity, such as fishing boat docks; fish markets; traditional markets; arts & crafts centres;
restaurants for local, regional and international foods, and venues for leisure, children’s play, entertainment,
and cultural performances.
7) A visitor circuit shall be established so visitors on short stay can experience the history and culture of accessible
and populated islands, with emphasis on learning activities for children.
