"Cosmopolitan tourism" refers to a type of tourism that focuses on experiencing diverse cultures, cuisines, and lifestyles in cosmopolitan cities around the world.

It emphasizes exploration of urban environments known for their multiculturalism, vibrant arts and entertainment scenes, and diverse populations.

A cosmopolitan tourism attraction

Thus, The Zero Kilometer Monument at IKN stands as a cosmopolitan tourism attraction in the future capital city of Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan.

The concept of establishing the Nusantara Capital City (Ibu Kota Nusantara - IKN) emerged as a visionary initiative to decentralize development and alleviate congestion in Jakarta, the current capital of Indonesia. 

This ambitious project aims to create a new administrative center strategically located in the heart of the country, fostering regional growth and equitable distribution of resources.

The legacy of President Joko Widodo

President Joko Widodo, commonly known as Jokowi, played a pivotal role in championing this endeavor, recognizing the imperative need for a sustainable and efficient capital that reflects Indonesia's aspirations for progress and inclusivity. 

Jokowi's leadership galvanized support for the project, rallying stakeholders and garnering consensus on its feasibility and significance.

The legal framework underpinning the establishment of IKN encompasses various legislative measures aimed at facilitating its planning, construction, and governance. 

These include regulatory reforms, land acquisition laws, and environmental safeguards to ensure responsible development and safeguarding of natural resources.

A historic milestone

The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of IKN marked a historic milestone, symbolizing the beginning of a transformative journey towards a modern, resilient, and people-centric capital. 

Amidst a backdrop of cultural diversity and unity, the inaugural placement of the cornerstone laid the foundation for a future characterized by innovation, prosperity, and sustainable development.

The narrative encapsulates the vision, determination, and collaborative spirit driving the realization of IKN, underscoring its significance as a testament to Indonesia's commitment to progress and prosperity for all its citizens.
