Palu, Central Sulawesi (Antara Bali) - The location of Sail Tomini's peak event at Kayubura beach in Parigi Moutong district is considered to be ideal for paragliding, according to local Aerosport Federation spokesman Asgaf.
"We have recommended to the authorities that Sail Tomini's location is most suitable as a venue for holding national and international paragliding events," Asgaf remarked here on Monday.
According to the spokesman, the Parigi Moutong district administration is developing the Kayubura beach, some 75 kilometers southeast from here, as the venue for holding Sail Tomini's peak event.
He further added that a Sail Tomini monument called Parimo Equatorial Pearl (PMK) is also being built on a beautiful hill near the beach.
Asgaf noted that the PMK monument, being built in cooperation with BNI bank at a cost of Rp500 million, will be visible from a distance when a visitor enters the waters of Tomini Bay and gets close to Kayubura beach.
"The hill with the PMK monument appears beautiful from every side and is an ideal location for holding paragliding activities," he added. (WDY)
