Development of the city begins from the increase of tourism industry there. It was expressed in the launch of his book "Building A Ship While Sailing" at the University of Flores, Ende, Flores, Friday (25/8).
"The Ministry of Education should require high school children to come here and be submitted to the curriculum. Assuming a million children come here every year, the plane can be more and more affordable so that more tourists come to Ende, "he said.
Darmono also explained that regional competitiveness can be improved if the regional regulations here are more interesting than Java island.
