However tourism is not as yet fully developed because of a lack of capital foreign in-vestors and good organisers. The Plunge district covers 1692 km2 and has 56,700 inhabitants. The city's 1150 ha are home to 24,438 people. The city centre is located on the left bank of the Babrungas river, with the railway stations and the industrial district, on the right bank. Because the city grew near the Gandinga Manor during the middle of the 16th century, it was called Gandinga until the 17th century.
