This was confirmed by the Head of Paotere Area Unit, Hadriana Hasan.
She said, the Port is currently being looked at by investors and the use of E-Pass is one of the requirements for investors to invest in the Paotere Port area.
“We are reorganizing the Pelra Paotere area which is quite visited by foreign tourists,” she said.
The reason is that Pelra is not only a port area that connects small islands in South Sulawesi and other islands in eastern Indonesia.
Paotere Port is also one of the tourist sites because it is the oldest people’s port in South Sulawesi.
It is planned that investors will enter to participate in organizing the Port, one of the conditions is that the E-Pass must be operational.
Herdiana said that the investor will build a mini soccer to facilitate especially residents around the area who like mini soccer.
