The Government has announced it will expand Sam Ratulangi international airport in Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province.<\/p>\n

The expansion project is scheduled to begin in September and end in October.<\/p>\n

\u0093We will expand the airport\u0092s terminal as well as the runaway,\u0094 President Joko \u0093Jokowi\u0094 Widodo told reporters during his working visit to the province, Thursday (4\/7). <\/p>\n

The airport can currently accommodate 2.5 per million passengers per year and after the expansion it is expected to serve up to 6 million passengers.<\/p>\n

The expansion project includes increasing the size of the airport\u0092s terminal into 56,000 square meter from the current 26,000 square meters and improving the airport facilities.<\/p>\n

According to the President, international tourist arrivals to Manado have increased for years, causing a higher number of international flights to and from the airport.<\/p>\n

President Jokowi also expressed hope that the expansion of the airport can further boost tourism industry in North Sulawesi province – dubbed as the \u0093rising star\u0094 in the country\u0092s tourism sector – and provide easier access for locals to better air transportation services.<\/p>\n

President Jokowi also announced the Government\u0092s plans to develop and improve tourist destinations near the airport.<\/p>\n

Located 13 kilometers northeast of Manado, Sam Ratulangi international airport is the second busiest airport in the island of Sulawesi. The airport is also designated as one of the 11 main entry ports to Indonesia by Ministry of Tourism and Culture and serves as the main gateway to\u00a0Bunaken National Marine Park, North Sulawesi\u0092s major tourist destination.
