Aceh Province Logo

Aceh Tourism – Aceh discovered in the Northwest of Sumatra Island with the area of around 57,365.57 km square or 12.26 % of a size of Sumatra Island. It consists of 119 islands, 73 significant rivers, and two lakes. Aceh is enclosed by Malacca Strait in the north, North Sumatra Province in the east, the Indian Ocean in the west and the south. The capital of Aceh is Banda Aceh. Aceh was long recognized for the desire for political independence from Indonesia.

When 26 December 2004 Tsunami hit the shoreline of Aceh, the Acehnese welcomed and accepted the help offered by outside donors and communities in the restoration and rehab of the province. The significant death also affected the thinking of political figures of the province, and the Aceh Government ended up being more open up to peace talks. The 29 year long battle for appropriate control (autonomy or self-reliance) consequently ended with the Helsinki Peace Agreement, which was confirmed on 15 August 2005, and the decision to remain a province of Indonesia.

Given that then, the peace process has been rather smooth, without significant occurrences. The “AAM” (Aceh Monitoring Mission) funded by the EU oversaw the process. There are a variety of major towns, among them: Banda Aceh (capital), Lhokseumawe, Meulaboh, Sigli, and Langsa. Also, the island of Sabang (an hour ferryboat trip from Banda Aceh), thought about a diver’s and snorkeler’s paradise, belongs to the province.

Aceh is abundant of events, destination and unique cultures that will captivate anybody. Aceh is also rich in natural appeal, waves and sea garden which appropriates for diving. A few of the most beautiful Aceh tourism and archaeological sites and beaches have been harmed by the enormous earthquake and Dec ’04 Tsunami.
