INDONESIA’S Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy encourages the young generation of the country to jointly maintain, care for, preserve and promote the beauty of the homeland by implementing the ecotourism concept that considers current and future environmental, social and economic aspects.

According to the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, the younger generation of Republic of Indonesia (RI) must understand that a protected environment will be the best asset for Indonesian tourism. Especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic, which will accelerate Indonesia’s tourism destination in the future, namely quality and sustainable tourism.

BERANI is a talk show program in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Plataran Indonesia, which will feature outstanding young people in various fields, with a different theme in each episode.

“We know that ecotourism has future prospects, where tourist destinations and attractions will lead to the concept of Nature, Eco, Wellness, and Adventure (NEWA). I invite the younger generation to inform the whole world about ‘Wonderful Indonesia’ through various communication channels, which in turn makes Indonesia known as the center of ecotourism (ecotourism) in the world,” said Minister Sandiaga.
