REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MANADO -- The government is expected to take more professional steps to boost marine tourism in North Sulawesi, according to Mohammad Naliko, the owner of Manado Sultan Tour and Travel.

"The government should be more professional in developing marine tourism in order to attract domestic and foreign tourists," Mohammad said here on Monday.

He noted that currently, marine tourism in North Sulawesi is the mainstay that can rival the beauty of Raja Ampat in West Papua.

Therefore, the North Sulawesi provincial government should work hard to develop the province's natural and marine tourism.

Mohammad pointed out that North Sulawesi has several tourist attractions that can be developed, such as the Lembeh and Bangka islands in Bitung, and Lihaga and Indah islands in Siau and Talaut districts.

"If the government gives special attention to marine tourism, the tourism industry will continue to evolve and reap considerable foreign exchange," he noted.

He stated that the development of marine tourism in North Sulawesi is in line with the central government's program to encourage the maritime sector across the country.

يٰبَنِيْٓ اٰدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ كَمَآ اَخْرَجَ اَبَوَيْكُمْ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْاٰتِهِمَا ۗاِنَّهٗ يَرٰىكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيْلُهٗ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْۗ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيٰطِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ لِلَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ
Wahai anak cucu Adam! Janganlah sampai kamu tertipu oleh setan sebagaimana halnya dia (setan) telah mengeluarkan ibu bapakmu dari surga, dengan menanggalkan pakaian keduanya untuk memperlihatkan aurat keduanya. Sesungguhnya dia dan pengikutnya dapat melihat kamu dari suatu tempat yang kamu tidak bisa melihat mereka. Sesungguhnya Kami telah menjadikan setan-setan itu pemimpin bagi orang-orang yang tidak beriman.

(QS. Al-A'raf ayat 27)
