As many as 65 participants consisting of influencers, students, and photographers, enjoyed the introduction to the Familiarization Trip (Famtrip) tourist destination held by the Seribu Islands Tourism and Creative Economy Sub-agency (Parekraf), Sunday (6/23).

This is a routine agenda

Seribu Islands Parekraf Sub-agency Head, Sonti Pangaribuan said the Famtrip is held to further introduce tourist destinations in Seribu Islands to the public and the international world.

"This is a routine agenda, participants can experience tourism directly on Seribu Islands. It was attended by around 65 people consisting of influencers, students, and photographers," she expressed.

On that occasion, they were invited to tour the resort islands of Payung Island and Bidadari Island, then to the cultural heritage island of Tidung Kecil Island. They got time to circle the island to look for spots and capture amazing photos.

"On Tidung Kecil Island, they were facilitated by planting mangrove seeds and restocking fish from the Seribu Islands Marine Cultivation and Conservation Center (PBKL), and touring the existing museum," she explained.

She hoped that it could promote Jakarta tourism to the younger generation, especially marine tourism in Seribu Islands, including fostering a sense of love and contributing to preserving the sea and its ecosystem.

"Hopefully, the participants' posts and content on social media can boost tourist visits to Seribu Islands, thereby increasing the residents' income," she hoped.

One of the participants, Arjuno Sakti (28) admitted the marine tourism destinations in Seribu Islands were still very natural and amazing. He felt he gained new insights at every location he visited.

"I will invite and promote Seribu Islands to colleagues and family that there are still beautiful and close natural destinations," he concluded.
