Think Jakarta is all skyscrapers and busy streets? Time to swap the skyline for some island time!

In Trends Episode 110, Jakarta Youth Tourism Ambassadors Jiselle Rafael and Yusuf Falih join us at IT&CMA and CTW 2026 to reveal another side of their city: Kepulauan Seribu, the Thousand Islands.

From welcoming island communities and beach escapes to fresh seafood, snorkelling and diving, None Jiselle and Abang Yusuf share why visitors should venture beyond the metropolis. We also talk tempting Jakarta favourites, including satay ayam and soto Betawi, and discover how these young ambassadors earned their roles promoting the destination.

How many islands are there really? How do you get there? And what should you eat when you arrive? Join us on the trade show floor for a lively conversation filled with local pride and ideas for your next adventure.

What would you try first: an island escape or a Jakarta food tour? Tell us in the comments, and subscribe to Trends TV for more travel stories and conversations.
