Why don't you go and enjoy xxx by yourself?
It is Kansai dialect. Since the context is not shown, I cannot be too certain, but to me it sounds like the speaker is implying he/she has no intension of doing the activity with the asker, though he/she doesn't mind the asker doing it.
If possible, please add more context.

Oops, of course \"intension\" is meant to be \"intention.\" Sorry!

: If only suggesting (not replying to a suggestion or repeating a suggestion), the sentence would stop at してきたら, I think, though it depends largely on the context and how it's said.

I don't mind if you do that.
Hidden message is "I won't, though".
This is a roundaround way to say "no, I don't want to".
Japanese don't like to say "NO", especially Kansai-jins".
