Breadfruit (malangkota.go.id) – As is known, one of the ways Malang City attracts tourists is by creating many thematic villages. Such as the existing ones, namely Kampung Warna-Warni, Kampung Tridi and Kampung Biru Arema. In order to Branding It was even stronger, Sunday (08/03/2020), one of the villages in Malang City, namely Kampung Sayur, began to be transformed into a new thematic village.
The village, which is precisely located in RW 3, Ciptomulyo Village, Sukun District, was renovated in such a way. Not only cleaning the village, a number of environmental activists and artists who also came from outside Malang City participated in the Kampung Sayur mural competition. The wall with a length of about 100 meters in this village was painted in such a way as a painting of a lion, a garuda bird and a city hall monument.
The initiative of the villagers in the flea market or second-hand goods market also received appreciation from the Deputy Mayor of Malang, Ir. H. Sofyan Edi Jarwoko, who was also appointed to inaugurate the thematic village. According to him, the residents of Malang City are now starting to be creative and have a high awareness of the importance of cleanliness and the presence of tourist destinations.
Because with the increasing number of tourist destinations, he said, more tourists will come, which will also have a positive impact on the surrounding environment. "For example, by selling souvenirs and Malang specialties, residents' income will increase. In the future, the Malang City Government will continue to encourage and provide support for residents who have creativity like this," added the bespectacled man.
