TheIndonesia.id - The Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Board, or BP2MI, has instructed and trained hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to also promote top tourist attractions in Indonesia during their time working abroad.
Head of BP2MI Benny Rhamdani said the institution trained hundreds of thousands Indonesian migrant workers (PMI), which will depart under a government-to-government (G2G) placement scheme with South Korean government, to promote top tourist destinations in Indonesia.
BP2MI also equipped all workers with letter of credence that they will show to their future employers in South Korea.
“We will start with the credential that contains the top 10 tourist destinations in our country. If [our migrant workers] can promote those places to their employers, the contribution will be immense; say, 10 percent of 277,000 PMI – and that’s only their employers and doesn’t include other people in their workplaces,” Rhamdani said, as reported by Antara on Monday, August 15.
The ten destinations are Toba Lake in North Sumatera, special economic zone (SEZ) Tanjung Kelayang in Bangka Belitung, Borobudur Temple in Central Java, Bromo Tengger Semeru in East Java, Bali Island in Bali, Mandalika Circuit in West Nusa Tenggara, Labuan Bajo in East Nusa Tenggara, Wakatobi (Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko) Islands in Southeast Sulawesi, Morotai Islands in North Maluku, and Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua.
