JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is promoting the tourism potential of the Thousand Islands at the MotoGP racing event, the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia in Mandalika, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

"Not only promoting tourism, we also invite creative economy players to introduce superior products," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Disparekraf) Andhika Permata in a written statement quoted by Antara, Saturday, March 19.

The tourism exhibition was held through the Mandalika Experience Expo at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit by cooperating with travel agents to offer tour packages to the Thousand Islands.

"We joined the SME exhibition organized by the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs by bringing the two best brands, namely D'Craft and Happy in Jakarta," he said.

According to Andhika, along with Mandalika in the 10 New Balis, the Thousand Islands has a hidden marine "paradise" whose beauty is not inferior to other tourist destinations.

He revealed that the Thousand Islands has potential that can be compared to other maritime destinations in Indonesia, such as Raja Ampat or Mandalika, which have similarities in terms of topography and are surrounded by a group of islands and various marine activities.

The Thousand Islands offers attractions ranging from mangrove forests, turtle and shark conservation, snorkeling, to cultural heritage with activities that can be done including swimming, diving, snorkeling, banana boating, jet skiing, kayaking, while playing with various marine life.

"We are preparing packages that can accommodate people who want to work while enjoying the natural beauty of the Thousand Islands, so there is no need to go far, everything is in Jakarta," said Andhika.

The Thousand Islands has 113 islands consisting of 11 inhabited islands, seven resort islands, and conservation islands.

The islands include Tiger Island, Tidung Island, Untung Jawa and Pramuka Island.

"If you want to blend in with the nature of Semak Daun Island and Dolphin Island, you can stop for a short camp, a beautiful environment, waves and white sand waiting for tourists to arrive," said Andhika.
