The arrival of the Deputy Governor of East Java was greeted with an original Banyuwangi dance, Rodat Syi'ir, accompanied by hundreds of tambourine players. In addition, the capital city artist Ari Lasso and a rap band also performed at the end of the event.
Banyuwangi as the host of Porprov this time received praise from the Deputy Governor of East Java who according to him was the best host during the implementation of Porprov so far. "In addition to being successful as a host, Banyuwangi was also successful with various achievements that broke previous Porprov records, such as swimming, rowing and others," explained the man who is familiarly called Gus Ipul.
"Security, order and contingents from 37 districts/cities as Porprov participants, so far I have not heard any complaints. Although hotel facilities are still lacking, this can be overcome by renting residential areas. No Porprov participants have had difficulty eating," he added.
Gus Ipul added that Banyuwangi is very good and can be an example for other regions, especially the next Porprov host. "In essence, the 2017 Porprov host, namely Gresik, must be better than Banyuwangi. Regencies/cities in East Java can learn from Banyuwangi," he explained.
