Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The tourism and creative economic ministry will promote sustainable tourism in Indonesia with the cooperation of several international organizations.
The ministry will work with the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the International Labor Organization (ILO), Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Economics Sapta Nirwandar said here Saturday.
The sustainable tourism will include activities related to energy efficiency, biodiversity preservation and green jobs, he told the press.
For that purpose, the ministry has completed a Strategic Plan on Sustainable Tourism and Green Jobs which was officially released during a conference on sustainable tourism development which was held in Bali, September 13, 2012.
Since ancient times, Indonesians' ancestors practiced sustainable development using their native wisdom, he said.
Nirwandar hoped the new program would revive the local traditions that could assist in promoting sustainable tourism activities.
At Pemuteran village in West Bali, for instance, the local community set up a foundation called Karang Lestari that assists in the preservation of coral reefs and turtle breeding.(*/T007)
