The Mandalika International Circuit has the sanctioned name Mandalika Pertamina International Street Circuit which is located in Kuta City, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusatenggara Province (NTB). The circuit which has a length of4.31 km will be used to hold the 2022 MotoGP race which is listed this week on 18-20 March 2022. Preliminarily, MotoGP riders had tried this circuit inpre-season tests on 11-13 February. The Mandalika Circuit is the second of the 21 2022 MotoGP series, which preliminarily had the first series held in Qatar. In addition to the MotoGP event which will be held latterly, preliminarily in 2021 the Mandalika Circuit had also been tested by 2021 World Superbike (WSBK) racers.

The Mandalika Circuit has 17 bends with several intriguing points, similar as at Turn 10. Turn 10 is included in a sharp bend with the totem and jottings of Pertamina being an iconic place in the Mandalika Circuit. The area of this circuit reaches hectares and is prognosticated to be a circuit that has the most beautiful decor in the world.

Still, the challenge for the actuality of the Mandalika Circuit is that after the performance is finished, how does the Mandalika Circuit remain an magnet for excursionists because events like this aren't held every month.

Of course, behind the challenges there are openings. The actuality of the MotoGP performance at the Mandalika Circuit will have an impact on the Indonesian frugality, especially the frugality in the Lombok area. The tourism sector will be a veritably poignant sector by not forgetting other sectors similar as hospices, transportation, caffs, and colorful other supporting sectors. Not a many sightseer destinations in Lombok, similar as Kuta Mandalika Beach, Tanjung Aan Beach, Merese Hill, Mount Rinjani, Gili Trawangan and numerous other destinations that can be visited. With the construction of the Mandalika Circuit, it's hoped that it'll come further of an magnet for both original and transnational excursionists.

The Mandalika Circuit is also located in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Indonesia. Special Economic Zones are areas with certain defined territorial boundaries in Indonesia. Special Economic Zones can accelerate profitable growth, indifferent development, and increase the nation's competitiveness.

This is what convinces Mandalika that it has enormous implicit, especially its tourism sector. The Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, KH Ma'ruf Amin, gave his views on Mandalika which has great eventuality to come the largest halal tourism in the world. When compared to Bali which is only about 300 hectares, Mandalika is around hectares,4.3 times larger than Bali, so the prospects and eventuality will be veritably good.

This is also supported by the achievements of Lombok Island through two awards, videlicet the 2015 World Halal Trip Awards (WHTA) in the World Best Halal Tourism Destination order and the World Halal Stylish Honeymoon Destination order. Lombok is also known as the"Island of a Thousand Kirks". In the future, it isn't insolvable if Mandalika becomes the largest halal sightseer destination or Muslim-friendly tourism in the world.

Muslim-friendly tourism or halal tourism is actually not much different from tourism in general. Muslim-friendly tourism doesn't mean changing the sightseer magnet. In this case, what's meant is furnishing the provision of halal food and places of deification as well as services and installations that support Muslim excursionists. It's hoped that Muslim excursionists, both original and transnational, will feel comfortable when doing sightseer conditioning.

Muslim-friendly tourism also doesn't mean to limit the movement of excursionists, especially foreign excursionists, they can still carry out sightseer conditioning. Considering the adding transnational trend of Muslim-friendly tourism, which is marked by the adding number of Muslim-friendly sightseer destinations in colorful countries. This condition isn't only in countries with a maturity Muslim population.

With this instigation further paving the way for the great eventuality of Muslim-friendly tourism in Mandalika, Lombok. To maintain this instigation and at the same time increase the being eventuality, of course, we need the part and support from colorful parties, both the central and original governments, entrepreneurs, and the community.
