The Seribu Island Tourism and Creative Economy Sub-agency held a program named Familiarization Trip (Famtrip) 2025 to several superior tourism destinations in Seribu Islands.

Head of the Sub-agency, Sonti Pangaribuan explained the participants were divided into two groups. First group visited the Tidung Besar and Tidung Kecil Island in Tidung Island Urban Village. Then the second group visited Sepa Island in Harapan Island.

"The participants are content creators, photographers, communities, and public who won the Seribu Islands giveaway," he explained, Friday (10/10).

Sonti explained this program aims to promote the natural beauty and marine tourism potential of the Seribu Islands, which is one of Jakarta's leading tourist destinations.

"We want participants to be able to expand the reach of tourism promotion and care about maintaining the sustainability of the marine ecosystem and mangrove forests in the Seribu Islands," he explained.

He said that participants visiting Tidung Besar and Kecil Islands participated in educational tours to the whale skeleton museum, seahorse and turtle breeding, mangrove planting activities, and an introduction to iconic destinations such as the Love Bridge and Nirva Ocean Resort.

"Participants to Sepa Island were also invited to try water sports. They were also given time to create content promoting travel to the Seribu Islands," he added.

According to him, this famtrip will become a regular program that is expected to increase the number of tourist visits, expand tourism promotional exposure, and strengthen business networks between industry players and local communities.

"Hopefully it can also boost innovation and local economy growth," he hoped.

Meanwhile, one of the participants who is also a content creator, Muhammad Azhari (21) admitted happy to participate this program.

"It's fun and enjoyable, also free. I will create video to attract more people visiting the island," he promised.
