"...most importantly, local MSMEs are involved,"

In his remarks, Pramono appreciated the involvement of local MSMEs, which accounted for 70 percent of the participants in the event.

"Jakarta feels grateful and fortunate that this exhibition is held here, and most importantly, local MSMEs are involved. Earlier, Mrs. Putri mentioned that 70 percent of the products are local," he conveyed.

He also highlighted the positive impact of the event on Jakarta's economy, noting that many visitors stayed in nearby accommodations.

He also ensured that the Jakarta Provincial Governor will continue to fully support the similar events.

"That's why tax revenue in Jakarta is relatively higher compared to other regions, because of events like this and many others held in Jakarta," he mentioned.

Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Teuku Riefky Harsya, also expressed his support for JakartaxBeauty in promoting the beauty and wellness sector, especially local products.

"We strongly believed that the growth of creative industry, especially in wellness and beauty products, is quite impressive. Not only is there potential in the national market, but also in the global market," he explained.

Meanwhile, Chairperson of JakartaxBeauty Organizing Committee, Putri Tanjung, expressed her excitement about the event's comeback, which will run until Sunday (7/6), featuring 400 beauty brands with 70 percent of them local.
