The existence of the Water Fountain in the Ngebel Lake tour, Ponorogo Regency, has an impact on dozens of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) in this area.
The increase in tourists due to the Water Fountain, has doubled their income.
One of the traders, Ahmad Khoirudin (28), who usually sells in front of the Ngebel Lake pier. admitted, since the Ponorogo Regency Government (Pemkab) presented the Water Fountain show and several cultural events in the Ngebel Lake area, the number of turnover has increased dramatically. In fact, on weekends (Saturday-Sunday) he can get up to two times the profit.
“In the past, before there was a water fountain, there was no income on weekdays, sales were not selling. On weekends, you could only get Rp. 200,000. Now on weekdays, you can get Rp. 400,000, while on weekends you can get Rp. 700,000.” said one of the fried food sellers.
