Of the initial budget, IDR 5 billion has received approval for immediate allocation towards constructing a jogging track along the island’s beach in 2024. This update was directly communicated by Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa, Deputy Mayor of Denpasar.

Additionally, the government aims to engage 200 Serangan Island residents in culinary training sessions with chefs from the Institute of Tourism and International Business Campus (14/12/2023).
