Flores Timur Young Entrepreneur Centre Generates Turnover of Rp 199 Million During Semana Santa

The Sentra Wirausaha Muda and Flotim Creative Hub activities, held over five days at five locations in Flores Timur Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), have delivered positive economic impacts for young entrepreneurs. During the period of 1-5 April 2026, the total recorded turnover reached more than Rp 199 million.

“During the implementation of the activities, the total operational costs used amounted to Rp 64,510,000, with full support from the Flores Timur Regency Education, Youth, and Sports Office (Youth Division),” said the Head of the Youth Division of the Flores Timur Regency PKO Office, Yones Ekaputra Lamuri, to detikBali on Sunday morning (5/4/2026).

The young entrepreneurs offered various types of goods, from culinary items to souvenirs. Yones stated that as a form of transparency to the public, the achievements of this activity show encouraging results.

“The total turnover achieved over 5 days reached Rp 199,874,000,” he added.

He mentioned that the entire series of activities ran smoothly from the first day until the closing. The implementation was also adjusted to the schedule of the Semana Santa processions to avoid disrupting religious activities.

“We hope that this activity can continue in the following years and provide real impacts, especially for the economic growth of the community and the faithful in Reinha Larantuka City,” said Yones.

This achievement serves as proof that the presence of the Sentra Wirausaha Muda not only supports the smooth running of Semana Santa activities but also drives local economic growth and strengthens the capacity of young entrepreneurs in Flores Timur.

It is known that the 5 young entrepreneur centres were located at 5 points, namely:

• Balela Ward

• Larantuka Ward

• Puken Tobi Wangi Bao Ward

• Sarotari Tengah Ward

• Wureh Village
