ADPPI Chairman Hasanuddin stated that the Indonesian government must finalize regulations for the direct use of geothermal energy to optimize geothermal tourism development. Current regulations are insufficient, primarily addressing geothermal power generation.

ADPPI emphasizes that comprehensive regulations will provide uniform standards, legal protections, and community benefits. They recommend involving stakeholders such as provincial and local governments and the business community in the regulation drafting process. Enhanced regulatory support is expected to accelerate economic growth through geothermal tourism and ensure sustainable resource use.
