JAYAPURA - The Papua Provincial Government continues to encourage and introduce products of Papuan Small and Micro Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) so that they are better known and have markets in national and international circles.
One of these efforts is collaboration with Hotel Borobudur Jakarta, to promote Papuan MSME products. Recently, Papua's creative economy, tourism, arts and culture were introduced in Milan, Italy.
"The Papua Provincial Government is now collaborating with Borobudur Hotel to promote Papuan Cultural Arts and MSMEs through Discover Papua activities.
"This activity will be carried out at the Borobudur Hotel Jakarta, starting today Saturday 4 November until 25 November 2023," explained the Head of the Papua Regional Liaison Agency in Jakarta, Alexander Kapisa, in a release received by reporters, Monday (6/11/2023).
According to Alex, this activity is very important in encouraging the promotion of tourism and MSMEs in Papua.
Because the Papua Provincial Government in general needs a representative public space to promote local MSME products.
"So with the collaboration program offered by Borobudur Hotel, we immediately welcome it. It will help the promotion of our MSMEs. Borobudur Hotel is a five-star hotel which is the main destination for foreign tourists to stay in Jakarta, "said Alexander.
Furthermore, Alexander Kapisa hopes that the Discover Papua agenda should become a regular activity every year, which is carried out at Borobudur Hotel.
"Because now Papua has developed and the area has increased after experiencing expansion."
"So of course through the promotion at Borobudur Hotel, it is hoped that Papua in the future will be visited by many foreign tourists. And in the end, we hope that Papuan MSME products can penetrate the international market," he said. ***
