Semarang - Semarang Mayor Agustina Wilujeng Pramestuti said that her party is trying to reduce traffic congestion that could potentially occur at souvenir centers, such as on Jalan Pandanaran Semarang.
"The challenge is parking. Because sometimes travelers don't want to walk far," he said, after monitoring the flow of travelers at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate, Semarang, Friday.
According to him, efforts to break up the concentration of homecoming travelers at the souvenir center will be carried out by socializing souvenir sales points spread across various regions.
He said, there are many souvenir sales points in Semarang City, and not only on Jalan Pandanaran which has long been well known to homecoming travelers.
"We must convey that the souvenir points and shopping centers prepared by the City of Semarang are many. And the souvenir points are no longer only on (Jalan) Pandanaran. So, they can go to various places," he said.
Socialization efforts, he said, were carried out through the official website of the Semarang City Government which provides information about the existence of souvenir sales points.
"Maybe you can click on the Semarang City Government's page later. If you want to look for milkfish, you can find it on Jalan Pamularsih. Then, if you want to look for Lumpia, you can find it in Mataram, and so on," he said.
