The Bali government has commissioned PT Hutama Karya, a state-owned contractor, to build a major telecommunications tower in Bali’s Buleleng district to boost tourism.

The tower, named Turyapada Tower, will have a signal range of 4.6 square kilometers and will be positioned atop a hill at 1,562 meters above sea level.

The tower is expected to become an iconic, world-class structure, similar to the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower, or Macau Tower, and will also serve as a new high-rise tourism destination.
