Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 PT Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero), or\nInJourney, is using the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia to drive\nthe growth of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and\ntourism, with the aim of delivering lasting benefits to local\ncommunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cMotoGP Mandalika must continue to be a catalyst for the local\neconomy, strengthen MSMEs, create jobs and make Indonesia better known\naround the world,\u201d InJourney President Director Maya Watono said,\naccording to the company\u2019s official website in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, held from 9 to 11 October\nand attended by 157,875 visitors, demonstrated the potential of\ninternational sporting events to stimulate regional economies.<\/p>\n
As a state-owned holding company in the aviation and tourism sectors,\nInJourney provided opportunities for MSMEs to participate through the\nInJourney MSME Expo.<\/p>\n
The participation of hundreds of MSMEs, through both bazaars and the\nexpo, shows how events can open up business opportunities, raise the\nprofile of local products and generate economic benefits for surrounding\ncommunities.<\/p>\n
The platform is intended to connect local business potential with the\nlarge influx of tourists, while enriching visitors\u2019 experiences with\ndistinctive regional products and creativity.<\/p>\n
The economic impact of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia is\nestimated at Rp5 trillion. The benefits are reflected not only in the\nscale of economic activity during the event, but also in opportunities\nfor local businesses to increase their income and expand their\nmarkets.<\/p>\n
With activity at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit\ntargeted to reach 200 days a year, there is growing scope to develop the\ntourism and local economic ecosystem in Mandalika and West Nusa\nTenggara.<\/p>\n
Through cooperation in staging international events and involving\nlocal businesses, the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia is expected to\nbe more than a world-class sporting showcase: it is also intended to\ndrive MSME and tourism growth and deliver lasting benefits to\ncommunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, the success of MotoGP does not end when the chequered flag\nis waved. The legacy we want to build is one in which more tourists come\nto Mandalika, more MSMEs grow, more jobs are created and Indonesia\u2019s\nposition on the world tourism map becomes stronger. This is how MotoGP\nbecomes part of Indonesia\u2019s journey onto the world stage,\u201d Maya\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/injourney-leverages-pertamina-grand-prix-to-boost-msme-growth-1791910343", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
