Indonesian hotel operator Archipelago is playing a significant role in bolstering the national economy by collaborating with local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through a network of 29 hotels.

These MSMEs provide guests with a range of local products, featuring regional snacks that showcase authentic flavors, traditional textiles such as batik and indigenous weaving, upcycled items that enhance sustainability, and high-quality locally-produced leather goods.

Archipelago’s chief executive, John Flood, remarked on the initiative:

“This collaboration reflects our commitment to making hotels more than just a place to stay: they serve as a bridge between guests and local culture, as well as a way to support MSMEs in each region.”
