Bangka Belitung Province

The Bangka Belitung comprises of two main islands, Bangka and Belitung, and hundreds of small islands situated between the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. The capital is Pangkal Pinang. The Bangka Strait separates Sumatra and Bangka and the Karimanta Strait Bangka and Borneo. The Natuna Sea is to the north and the Java Sea to the south. The province has 1,37 million inhabitants living on a total area of 81.725,14 km², of which 16.424,14 km² are land (approximately 20,90% of the total area) and 65.301 km² (approximately 79,10 of the total area) are territorial waters. The provincial government’s vision is to “develop Bangka Belitung into a prosperous province through agricultural and maritime innovation and technology-based governance and public services”.

The provincial government’s vision for Bangka Belitung is the “realization of Bangka Belitung as a well-developed province in terms of ICT”. It therefore aims to achieve this quite specific vision by improving integrated ICT access, facilities and infrastructure as well as to train the population with regards to ICT through improved coordination and consultation.

The province of Bangka Belitung is called “island of tin” as the province is endowed abundantly with tin reserves located in all areas of the province. The province of Bangka Belitung is the production base of PT. Timah, the largest tin producer in Indonesia and third largest tin producer in the world with total tin metal production of 53 673,12 metric tons in 2015. The processing is still conducted by PT. Timah. However, the production output has decreased recently.

To lessen the province’s dependence on tin and thus its vulnerability to external shocks, tourism is determined as the new focus of development. In 2015, 305.436 tourists traveled to Bangka Belitung. Yet, of these only 3.498 were foreign tourists. The central government has designated Tanjung Kelayang Island in Bangka Belitung as one of the ten areas to be developed under the National Strategic Region for Tourism Plan (KSPN). Development of the Special Economic Tourism Zone in Tanjung Kelayang started in September 2016. Total investments of USD 1,4 billion have been allocated by the central government to develop the province’s large potential in tourism, which will particularly focus on marine and coastal activities.
