The Thousand Islands Tourism and Creative Economic (Parikeraf) Sub-agency keeps promoting tourism businesses and travel agents to actively participate in socializing the rules for using eco-friendly shopping bags.

"To optimize it, we are cooperating with tourism service and travel agents where it aims to minimize single-use plastic bags," expressed Puji Astuti, Head of Thousand Islands Parikeraf Sub-agency, Friday (7/10).

In its socialization, she wanted eco-friendly bags to be propagated in any tour package services or other services. In addition to educate and promote, it could be useful for tourists.

"Similar action is also promoted to homestay owners and souvenir stands," she stated.
