The Anambas Islands Regency welcomed the presence of this guidebook entitled “exploring anambas”. Publication of this book is a breakthrough that should be appreciated for because in line with our efforts to introduce more Anambas Islands Regency as a leading marine tourism destination area in the western region of Indonesia.

Since its establishment as a regency within the Province of Riau Islands, we have made various efforts to raise all Anambas tourism potential, especially marine tourism as athe economic driving forces. From time to time, we intensified the various sporting attractions such as art and cultural attractions, the movement of tourism awareness, promotion and exhibition outside the region. At the same time, we also fix amenitas and accessibility, including identifying potential points of new tourism that has not been lifted to the publics before.
