Awam

The various local and foreign awards for tourism granted to Cibuntu village, Kuningan regency, West Java, are inseparable from the role of Awam, 71. The village head serving three terms of office has led the transformation of Cibuntu from a former C-category (sand) mining area into a tourist village.

For almost three hours, Awam accompanied Minister Sandiaga Uno and actress Cinta Laura on a sightseeing tour of Cibuntu on Monday (31/5/2021). They were visiting residentsโ€™ houses providing homestay facilities, fish therapy ponds and a site with a stone structure dating back to around 3,500 years BCE.
