BELITUNG -- To support tourism promotion on Belitung Island, PT TIMAH (Persero) Tbk is supporting the implementation of Belitung Youth Competition 2026 organized by the Belitung Regency Tourism Office.
Belitung Youth Competition 2026 is a creative tourism promotion video competition for junior and senior high school students in Belitung Regency. The event serves as a collaborative platform for various stakeholders, including students, to help introduce the region’s tourism potential.
Through this competition, students are encouraged to create creative vlog videos showcasing the many attractions of Belitung so they can become more widely known.
The newly appointed Head of the Belitung Regency Tourism Office, Sastra Yuni Ardi, stated that Belitung Youth Competition 2026 is open to junior and senior high school students. Registration is open from May 1 to May 8, 2026, while the winners are scheduled to be announced on May 29, 2026.
“Participants are required to create videos at various tourist attractions and destinations across Belitung Island. We hope participants will be able to promote Belitung in an engaging and informative way,” he said.
The themes participants may explore are quite diverse, ranging from island hopping activities, local cultural richness, culinary and gastronomy experiences, to Belitung’s various advantages such as clean air quality and a safe and comfortable environment for tourists.
“Through vlog media, the promotional efforts will not only showcase the beauty of destinations, but also deliver broader information to the public regarding the region’s potential and uniqueness,” he explained.
In addition to supporting tourism promotion, Sastra hopes the competition will foster a sense of pride and love among young people for their own region. By becoming more familiar with local tourism and cultural richness, students are expected to become part of the collective effort to introduce Belitung to a wider audience.
As a form of tangible support, PT TIMAH is providing prizes for the winners of Belitung Youth Competition 2026.
This support is in line with PT TIMAH’s commitment to supporting the development of the regional tourism sector while also creating opportunities for creativity among the younger generation. (*)
