As other Indonesian city, Malang also has Aloon-aloon, or Alun-alun in Indonesian, as a place for people to gather and enjoy their time. Alun-alun Malang also serves that function.

If the Directorate of Immigration and Culture Tourism Ministry agreed to evaluate the policy after three months of enforced on January 26, 2010, the market reaction will be shifted to another country trip. Finally, Indonesia will only accept the results of the deterioration of the visit of the major markets of Asia like China, Japan, India and South Korea.  People who come from Asean to Indonesia do not need VoA, especially those who come to visit Bintan and Batam via Singapore. It is much more easier to have short visit foreign tourist than to have foreign tourists that stay for 30 days or more.
