There are two words that are arranged in the mind when first step up the foot on the Sea Sakti Rantau Bertuah, exotic and beautiful. Yes, the two words that directly appear on the head when seeing the beauty of nature and feel the hospitality of citizens in Natuna, one of the districts in the outer line of the archipelago of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
Natuna Regency is one of the districts in Riau Islands, Indonesia with its capital Ranai. Natuna is the northern archipelago of Karimata or located directly in the South China Sea area.
Geographically, the direct district borders Vietnam and Cambodia in the northern part, Riau Islands in the southern part, Eastern Malaysia and West Kalimantan in the eastern part and the Malaysian Peninsula in the western part is at the position of 1016’-7019’ LU (Northern cross) and 105000’-110000’ BT (Eastern Honest).

The area reached 141.901,20 square Km with details 138.666,0 Km perqueous square (lautan) and 3.235,20 Km square grounds is on the international shipping line of Hongkong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It is not surprising if the area included into the NKRI sovereignty region became the country’s prone in the South China Sea, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei, Philippines and Malaysia.
A wide range of natural tourist destinations is owned by an autonomous standing district from 12 October 1999. Just like Bukit Senubing with the beauty of the Sindu Stone, Tanjung Beach and Buton Bay Beach with its white sand, the Three Island with the natural beauty of the bottom of the sea, the Island is on the modernity of the city on the sea, Gunung Ranai which is high to the sky and many more.
In addition to natural tourism, Natuna also has an iconic building that is usually local people call his Taj Mahal, namely Masjid Agung Natuna. Standing the magnificent of Mount Ranai, making this mosque even more and rich. A beautiful elok blend is shown by the Supreme Mosque of Natuna and Gunung Ranai.

Various infrastructure and public facilities and social have been owned by Natuna, including sea ports, airports, highways, clean water, electricity, telecommunications, elementary schools, first medium schools and top secondary schools, colleges, hospitals and places of worship. Natuna Regency consists of 12 subsidiaries, six villages and 70 villages, as well as 154 islands (with the largest island is Bunguran island and Serasan island).
However, it is quite surprising the potential of tourists that are so worth the high value of the pearl shine has not been utilized optimally by the local district government. The necessary facilities and infrastructure to introduce tourism in this area to tourists have not been adequate.
The geographical brain is quite far one of the factors of the cause of lack of developing tourism sectors in the district with the population reached 72.450 this soul (the final census of 2014).

Not to mention the potential of Natuna’s unsuccessfulness, the ocean around the archipelago of Natuna often became the fish’s theft area by foreign fishermen causing the disadvantage of the state that is not a little.
Therefore, the efforts to weaken various objects and equip facilities by developing transportation networks need to continue to be improved. Don’t get to Natuna who became the pearls of the northern gate of Indonesia is edible.
