The Mandalika SEZ was established through Government Regulation Number
52 of 2014 to become a SEZ Tourism. KEK Mandalika offers marine tourism
with stunning beach and underwater charm. Mandalika comes from the
name of a legendary figure, namely Princess Mandalika who is known for her
beautiful looks. Every year, the people of Central Lombok celebrate the Bau
Nyale ceremony, a ritual of searching for sea worms that are believed to
be incarnations of Princess Mandalika. This celebration is a unique
culture and attracts tourists both locally and internationally.
SEZ Mandalika has the concept of developing environmentally
friendly tourism with the development of tourist objects and tourist
attractions which is always oriented to the preservation of the value
and quality of the environment in society.
