Apart from being a base for education in Bali, the city of Singaraja also has the potential to be used as a tourist destination to attract domestic and foreign tourists to visit North Bali. Thus, this should receive special attention from the Buleleng district government, which can work with UNDIKSHA to develop a tourist attraction. There are many historical relics such as Puri Sukasada, Puri Buleleng, Panji Village, Buleleng Harbor during the royal period, the Regent’s Office (Former Dutch Administrative Office), the Office of the Governor of Sunda Kecil (Mr. I Ketut Pudja) which has been awarded the title of national hero to be able to become as Singaraja City Tour.
