Bandung Tourism Industry


Bandung has served for popular weekend-break destination for people living in Jakarta for many reason. The cooler climate of highland plantation area in Bandung, the varieties of food in Bandung, the cheaper fashion shops located in factory outlets and distros, golf courses, and frienliness of local people have become the main attraction of the Bandung city.
In the 1990s, Bandung local designer opened denim clothing stores along Cihampelas Stres in Bandung, which gave Bandung another nickname, the Tourist Shopping City. It was a success as the-then residential street had been fully transformed into a "Jeans Street". The Bandung city attract people from other big cities to buy local fashion wears, as they are cheaper than branded item with same quality.
Bandung city gained more shoppers to come when textile factories in the outskirt of Bandung opened a fashion store that sells their products directly from the factory, and these shops are called factory outlets. Now more than one hundred factory outlet in Bandung.
