“As an industry in the field of holistic business, including beauty, health and wellness, MRAT has an important role in realizing this vision by presenting services and products that support the revival of healthy, culture-based sustainable tourism, ” said Kusuma Anjani.

“The global wellness economy has reached a value of US$ 5.6 trillion, an increase of approximately 14% from 2019, demonstrating significant growth and faster recovery after the pandemic.

Indonesia as a country rich in culture and herbal plants, has great potential in the wellness sector.

To enhance this potential, Mustika Ratu in collaboration with Sheraton Jogjakarta Hotel located near Prambanan, provides a spa wellness center that offers spa treatments and meditation rooms to provide an unforgettable experience to customers in getting the real definition of health.

Health and wellness are interconnected with each other, so we see that health is a goal while wellness is a journey to achieve optimal health so the combination of both is an interesting treat but also has a sustainability impact in the future,” she said.

The Forum held by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) together with the United Nations Tourism from 5-6 June 2024 was attended by important figures, as well as leading stakeholders from within and outside the country who are expected to encourage synergies between sectors and countries in advancing the Indonesian tourism industry towards sustainable growth.

With the theme” Elevating Tourism Investment for Sustainable Growth, “ITIF 2024 directs the focus on sustainable tourism, considering the principles of planet, people, and prosperity which have always been a reference in the development of parekraf.

Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno said “this forum aims to attract investments that are not only economically beneficial, but also have a positive impact on the environment and society,” she said.

Spa treatments can be one example of a relevant tourist activity because it has elements of health and cultural heritage.

One example is Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa (TSRH), as a healthy tourist destination that offers spa treatments with Javanese massage techniques and using products made from Indonesian herbs.

“We have a cultural spa based on herbal medicine or Java-based, which in addition to attracting cultural preservation, we also promote cultural products but also natural products and herbal medicine and it turns out there is a significant increase this year,” he said.

Ready to Drink (RTD) Mustika Ratu Health herbal supplement and beverage products also provide significant benefits to the community, especially to support healthy and safe tourism.
