Looking at Mania Fishing Tours in Ulidang

Majene, Sulbarkita.com -- Majene Regency stores a variety of interesting marine tourism destinations to visit. Underwater charms such as coral reefs, seaweed and various types of fish are an attraction for this type of tourist lovers.

But unlike most marine tourism, in one area precisely in Waigamo Hamlet, Ulidang Village, Tammerodo District provides a tourist spot called Fishing Mania. As the name implies, this Fishing Mania tourist destination is planned to be used by travelers as a place for sea fishing.

To get there, visitors must pass through a dozen steps. Because the place is lower than the shoulder of the road, which is about 20 meters deep. The sea water is so clear that visitors can see the coral reef from the road even though it is at a height.

Coupled with the exotic white sand of the exotic beaches, it adds to the attraction of the tourist attractions. Another beauty is the row of rocks that vary in size, ranging from the size of a basketball to the size of a truck head. The rock half appeared on the surface of the sea that could be occupied sitting while taking pictures.

But there is no need to worry, tourist attractions that are about 55 kilometers from the central government of Majene Regency are very easy to find. Besides being located on the edge of the Trans Sulawesi road, there is also a gate that makes it easy for someone to easily see tourist sites.

The tourist attractions developed by the Government of Ulidang Village with a budget of Rp 69 million have been built since 2017, although there are still many things that need to be prepared. Said the Head of the Ulidang Village, Rusdi, a tourist spot located at the north end of the village area needs to be destroyed.

"We want to make floating docks made of bamboo there to lure fish that stick towards the deep sea," he told Sulbarkita.com in his office on Monday, June 24, 2019.

Even so, said Rusdi, tourist attractions can already be visited, because the steps to the shore are ready for use. "We will also make gazebos, parking lots and coastal walkways to make it more attractive," he said.

Rusdi added, later tourist attractions will apply a ticket system or entrance ticket that can be used as a source of income for the village. "The tour is planned to be sheltered by Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES)," he said.

The person in charge of the Mancing Mania tourist spot, Syamsul explained, the location was his personal property. But before a tourist site was built, he was determined to propose to the village government so that the place was used as a tourist area.

"That's because I see tourism potential at that location that can be developed for community empowerment," he told Sulbarkita.com when found in his shop in front of the gate of Mancing Mania tourist attractions.

Community empowerment as said by Syamsul is by hiring local residents to manage tourist attractions such as janitors, vehicle parking officers and security who will later be given wages by the village government.

Syamsul continued, the potential of the sea in that place is quite abundant, such as fragile fish, lobster and so on. However, to avoid fishing hooks caught in the rock, the village government will make a floating dock that stretches around 25 to 30 meters into the deep sea.

"The shape of the pier resembles the letter T, may be made of bamboo stems or cork materials that can float," he said.

Meanwhile, one of the visitors, Novitasari, 20 years old, said the local residents were very happy to visit the place. He and his colleagues often spend time just relaxing at tourist attractions. "I often come here with friends, usually we take photos and take selfies," he said, which was found at tourist sites.
