Jatim Park 2 is also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. As the largest tourism industry in Batu City, the pandemic over the past two years has caused a decrease in the number of visitors which has affected the company's income, making it difficult to carry out operations. The tourist destination reopened on Saturday (27/6/2020), after three months of being closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. "For Jatim Park 2, we have opened since Saturday the 27th yesterday. Visitors who come in a situation like this are still far from expectations," said Marketing and Public Relations Manager of Jatim Park Group, Titik S Arianto, Tuesday. (30/6/2020).
Jatim park 2 had to close for 3 months due to the increasing Covid-19 pandemic. With the increase in Covid-19 cases and the occurrence of lockdowns in several areas, this has resulted in a very drastic decrease in visitors and a lack of income, making it difficult to carry out maintenance and carry out operations. The manager applies health protocols to prevent Covid-19 in the two tourist destinations. Titik said that, visitors were asked to buy tickets online after the Covid-19 outbreak. Visitors are also required to wear masks and fill out a medical history form. Before passing through the entrance, all tourists go through body temperature checks and wash their hands. "They have to fill in the medical history data that is already in the online form as well as paper. There is a body temperature check before they enter. Then wash their hands. We spread out a lot of hand washing stations in our area. Almost 30 points," he explained. Meanwhile, the maximum quota of visitors is limited to 50 percent of the total capacity of the tourist rides, as many as 3,000 visitors (maximum capacity).
