Saifudin sees the condition of Balikpapan City, which will become a big city, as an opportunity to continue his idea so that it can provide benefits to the surrounding community.

"Especially in the Balikpapan area, sir, this will become a big city, the terrace is the capital city, that's for sure, sir, that's why we are making tours there, sir, now every once or twice a month there must be children camping—perami, from elementary to junior high school. ,” he explained.

Furthermore, Saifudin also explained that land use as a natural educational tourism area is considered to still be able to provide benefits even though it is managed independently.

" He has self-help income or we rent gazebos, and we look after them there, look after the children, there will be a tariff of Rp. 5,000 or Rp. 4,000 for each child," said Saifudin.

"Ok, that means there will be income later, good, good, interesting, so the children don't hold cellphones, smartphones every day, get to know nature," said the President.
