At the end of December 1965, the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno, assigned the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Dr. H. Soemarno Sosroatmodjo, as the Executor of Ancol Regional Development and Development, to develop Ancol as a tourist destination. The development of the Ancol project continued until 1966, when, under the leadership of the next Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ali Sadikin, all work on the project was transferred to the Ancol Project Development Agency (BPP) which later opened up the way for the establishment of PT Pembangunan Jaya.
