Hosted for the fourth time, Camel Trophy 2025 is ready to be held in Tanjung Lesung
The Indonesia Flying Club (IFC) is set to hold the Camel Trophy on May 4-6, 2025 in Tanjung Lesung, combining aviation and offroad with Land Rover. Indonesia is hosting the fourth of 11 global events.
Tanjung Lesung was chosen because it has a 25-year-old airstrip, a new hanagr, and plans to extend the runway to 800 meters. IFC also sees great investment potential, including aero villas.
The 83.67km Serang-Panimbang Toll Road is targeted for completion in 2025, with Section 1 already in operation and Sections 2-3 under construction. The project cuts Jabodetabek-South Banten travel time to 1-2 hours and lowers logistics costs by 30%. This toll road is expected to boost economic growth and minimize regional disparities in Banten.
Tanjung Lesung SEZ, on the western tip of Java Island, is a flagship tourist area with government support for economic growth. The flagship project, a 5-star Eco-Luxury Hotel, offering views of the beach, mangroves and golf course, is 2.5 hours from Jakarta via the Serang-Panimbang Toll Road. Investors receive incentives such as tax holidays, tax allowances, and duty-free entry. Surrounded by iconic destinations such as Ujung Kulon National Park and Anak Krakatau, the area is attractive for tourism investment.
VAT DOES NOT INCREASE! VAT-free goods/services remain at 0%, 11% VAT remains unchanged, and 12% VAT is only for luxury goods (private aircraft, yachts, property >Rp30 billion, luxury vehicles). Stimulus 2025 remains in place, such as rice assistance, 50% electricity discount, MSME income tax exemption
tsunami gauge
The Tsunami Gauge is a tool designed to detect real-time changes in sea level, which is important in tsunami early detection systems.
With this tool, monitoring teams can receive fast and accurate information to issue early warnings, giving people in tsunami-prone areas more time to evacuate and save themselves.

For the Tsunami (TL), one unit of the early detection system (SDD) will be installed as a pilot project of a total of 100 Tsunami Gauges throughout Indonesia.
This tool does not require special training as data can be accessed directly from BMKG, with sensors and CCTV operating 24 hours. Official tsunami simulations have been conducted several times with BNPB, BPBD and related parties, making TL the standard model for Banten BNPB.
