To go to Bunaken, many tourists complained because the mobility of sea transport were minimal, so tourism becomes expensive. "Imagine if every to Bunaken, one must charter a boat motor Rp 500,000 to Rp 1 million, one-way," he said.
To be sure, North Sulawesi tourism suffered shock after the airline Air Asia, which flies Kuala Lumpur-Manado route, suspended its activities in March. Previously, Sriwijaya Air which flies Manado-Davao is also stalled.
