REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PARIGI -- The Parigi Moutong District in Central Sulawesi Province plans to construct 1,000 home-stays to accommodate the guests arriving for Sail Tomini 2015.
"We have prepared 700 rooms in 300 houses of local residents for home-stay accommodation. In the next several weeks, we will increase the number to at least one thousand rooms," Mawardin, head of the Parigi Moutong youth, sports and tourism office, said on Friday.
The peak event for Sail Tomoni will be held on Pangi Beach, North Parigi, around 75 kilometers west of Palu city.
President Joko Widodo is scheduled to officially inaugurate Sail Tomini, which is part of the annual international maritime event Sail Indonesia.
The Central Sulawesi administration expects to receive a total of 10,000 guests during the event.
"The number of hotels and motels in Parigi are very limited, therefore the district head has instructed us to make an inventory of local residents' houses that can be transformed into home-stays in villages, such as Toboli in North Parigi and Torue in South Parigi," he said.
