Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Morotai tourism in North Maluku has advantages in the beauty of the beach and underwater. Its beauty is not inferior to Bali, Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat, and Lombok. Even so beautiful, Morotai is called by tourists as the Maldives of Indonesia.

For those of you who want to have a new experience on a vacation to the beach, the Morotai SEZ is very suitable. Yes, there are at least six exciting activities that are ready to give you an unforgettable experience. What are they? Here we have summarized the interesting reviews.

  1. Explore beautiful island

Island hopping is a mandatory activity when you vacation in the Morotai SEZ. Apart from being beautiful, each island has its uniqueness, including Kokoya Island, Kolorai Island, White Sand, Zum-zum Island and Dodola Island. The last two islands are islands that have become the main attraction of tourists until now.

Dodola Island itself is divided into two, namely Dodola Besar and Dodola Kecil. Where the distance between the two islands is 500 meters and separated by seawater at low tide. The uniqueness of Dodola island, if you walk from Dodola Besar to Dodola Kecil when the sea water recedes, you will feel the sensation of “walking across the ocean”. While the charm of Zum-zum Island lies its rich history. You can see a statue of General Mc Arthur from the United States as high as 20 meters there. This statue was built as a reminder of General Mc Arthur because he had settled and set strategies when fighting with Japan in World War II.

2. Snorkeling to see coral reefs and colorful fish

You also shouldn’t miss this activity. Because Morotai is famous as an island with its “sea tourism”, so it’s a shame if you have come all the way to see its beauty. The recommended places for snorkeling are Dodola Island, Pasir Timbul and Kokoya Island and the good news, you can snorkel while exploring the island.

3. Dive the site of shipwrecks and blackfin sharks

Yes, in Morotai you can dive at the site of Bristol Beuford fighter aircraft, tanks, ships, or Jeep Willys types. All of these are relics of the fighting of United States forces with Japan. To see the wreckage of fighter planes, tanks, ships and jeeps, you can go to Wawama Wreck Dive Point located in Wawama Village in South Morotai which takes about 3 hours from Daruba City.

If you dive with blackfin sharks, you can visit the Mitita Shark Point diving spot on Mitita Island. Don’t imagine that when diving you will dive a long distance with the shark. Not. Blackfin sharks on Mitita Island are commonly visited by divers and are known to be docile. You can take pictures up close to a distance of one to two meters. All you need is a calm demeanor when you’re around them.

4. Explore history at a World War II museum

This activity is no less exciting for you to visit. What is in the museum?

Jababeka Morotai and Perempuan Indonesia Maju Sign MoU Related to Investment Marketing https://www.jababekamorotai.com/en/jababeka-morotai-and-perempuan-indonesia-maju-sign-mou-related-to-investment-marketing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jababeka-morotai-and-perempuan-indonesia-maju-sign-mou-related-to-investment-marketing Mon, 14 Nov 2022 04:04:39 +0000 https://www.jababekamorotai.com/?p=1787 Jababeka Morotai and Perempuan Indonesia Maju Sign MoU Related to Investment Marketing Read More »

]]>
JAKARTA – PT Jababeka Tbk through one of its subsidiaries, namely Jababeka Morotai, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Perempuan Indonesia Maju cooperation related to marketing investment projects owned by Jababeka Morotai in the Morotai Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

For your information, PT Jababeka Morotai is a business entity that develops and manages the Morotai Special Economic Zone (SEZ) covering an area of more than 1,500 ha engaged in tourism, industry, logistics, and export processing in Morotai Island Regency, North Maluku Province. Morotai SEZ has the advantages of geo-strategic, historical, and marine tourism with stunning coastal and underwater beauty. Meanwhile, Perempuan Indonesia Maju is a community or non-profit organization from Central Jakarta that aims to provide education and help realize that Indonesian women have equal and equal opportunities in contributing to the progress of the country.

The signing of the MoU was carried out by Basuri Tjahaja Purnama as President Director of PT Jababeka Morotai, Setiawan Mardjuki as Director of PT Jababeka Morotai with Maylana Togas as Chairman of Perempuan Indonesia Maju at the President Lounge, ground floor, Batavia Tower- Central Jakarta, Friday (21/10/2022).

After this signing, the two sides will collaborate to do marketing by finding or gathering investors to develop the Morotai SEZ.

“Thank you all for your support. May we jointly develop Morotai SEZ, and of course including Indonesia. This is because eastern Indonesia has the advantage of tourism which is a resource that can be (used) continuously or renewable energy. It is not natural resources, such as the mining (sector), that can be exhausted,” explained Basuri, in his speech.

Basuri also hopes that Perempuan Indonesia Maju can take the time to visit Morotai Island to see the Morotai SEZ directly, and make activities there, such as a seminar on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) for local communities. Thus, the cooperation between Jababeka Morotai and Perempuan Indonesia Maju can be “seen” and felt by the people of Morotai.

Meanwhile, Maylana Togas welcomed the signing of the MoU with Jababeka Morotai. Lana – her nickname – explained that the Perempuan Indonesia Maju had made a work plan and intended to invite the local Morotai community to be involved in its activities. Because, without the presence of local people, the empowerment of local communities will not be perfect or run well.

Lana also hopes that this MoU cooperation can run smoothly and develop into a common agreement to make it more legit and have a broad impact.

“We have made a plan and I have conveyed it to Mr. Basuri. Maybe we can make just one product (food) (for the beginning),” Lana said in her speech.

He said that his pilot project from this collaboration could be started by making food products, such as Samarinda’s typical krupuk amplang. Where, the Perempuan Indonesia Maju can teach the Morotai community how to make it and also the calculation of the business.

But it would be better if the morotai community, especially mothers, had their own Morotai specialty products that could be sold on Morotai Island and outside Morotai. However, for the first step, you can go through amplang crackers first. Because, apart from the fact that this krupuk amplang product is already running, the community empowerment movement is considered to be directly felt by the local community. “So, we asked for help later to be helped with local leaders and mothers,” Lana said.

“In addition, we will help make flyers and gimmicks on social media. Because social media is very important in today’s era to create a word of mouth. Nowadays, the word of mouth, is very important. That way, we can strengthen each other, fill each other. Hopefully, the cooperation will be stronger,” lana concluded.
