"The implementation of KKJ-PKJB 2024 for three days is actually to promote MSME products in West Java, and as a benchmark for UKM players to present even better products from West Java," said Bey.

He hopes that the large number of visitors to the MSME product stands in each city/district can increase tourist attraction. So that 27 cities/regencies throughout West Java will always be favorite destinations for tourists.

"Our homework is the length of stay of tourists. We think it is our duty to attract more tourists so they can stay longer in the area, ladies and gentlemen," said Bey.
