        "summary": "Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism is collaborating with the Ministry of Law to develop thematic tourism centred on Geographical Indication (GI) products. The initiative aims to create authentic travel experiences by connecting visitors with the stories behind local goods like coffee and textiles, rather than just selling them as commodities. This approach is expected to increase tourist length of stay and spending, providing greater economic benefits to local communities.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Tourism is working to develop\ntourism based on Geographical Indication (GI) products in order to\nprovide higher quality experiences for tourists. Itok Parikesit,\nAssistant Deputy for Tourism Product Development at the Ministry of\nTourism, stated that this thematic tourism development is being carried\nout in collaboration with the Ministry of Law. \u201cCurrently, the\ncollaboration has entered the audience and initial mapping stage to\nidentify potential products and destinations that can be developed as\npart of a sustainable GI Tourism ecosystem and provide added value for\nlocal communities,\u201d Itok said when contacted in Jakarta on Monday.\nAccording to him, this aligns with the global tourism trend which has\nshifted from tourists merely enjoying sightseeing to seeking authentic\nexperiences. \u201cTourists no longer just want to buy coffee or woven\nfabrics, but also want to know the story behind these products,\u201d Itok\nexplained. For example, coffee is not only marketed as a commodity, but\nalso becomes an entry point for tourists to visit coffee plantations,\nmeet farmers, follow the harvesting and processing stages, learn brewing\ntechniques, enjoy local cuisine, and get to know the local culture. When\na product is packaged into an authentic travel narrative, he said, it\nhas the potential to increase the length of stay and tourist spending,\nthereby providing a greater economic impact for the region.<\/p>",
