Kelanawisata.id, Wonosobo — A total of 19 tourism businesses in Wonosobo Regency have officially received the CHSE Certification as a form of commitment to improving tourism services that are clean, healthy, safe, and environmentally sustainable.

The certificates were issued by the Director of the Tourism Business Certification Body (LSUP) Bhakti Mandiri Wisata Indonesia, Hairullah Ghazali, and symbolically handed over by the Regent of Wonosobo, Afif Nurhidayat, to 19 tourism business operators on Monday, February 9, 2026, at the Pendopo Belakang of Wonosobo Regency.

This certification was carried out independently by each tourism business as a reflection of awareness, responsibility, and commitment to meeting national tourism service standards while creating a safe, comfortable, high-quality, and sustainable tourism environment.

He also underlined the philosophy of tourism service, stating that visitors should be treated as honored guests. A positive experience, he noted, will encourage tourists to return with family and friends while promoting Wonosobo tourism through word of mouth.

Furthermore, the Regent expressed hope that the tourism sector would generate tangible economic benefits not only for business operators but also for the wider community. He encouraged the Tourism and Culture Office of Wonosobo Regency to become a supportive hub and entry point for tourism development.

Kelanawisata.id, Karanganyar – Batik is not only visually appealing but also holds a unique charm for its admirers. It can be styled for various occasions, whether formal, semi-formal, or casual. With its diverse motifs, each piece of batik carries its own meaning and philosophy, making it more than just clothing—it is a cultural expression.

This philosophy inspired a group of women in Gerdu Village, Karangpandan, Karanganyar, to develop a batik initiative in 2023 known as Kelompok Batik Alam Gerdu. What sets Batik Alam Gerdu apart from other batik lies in its use of eco-friendly natural dyes. In addition, the batik can be fully customized, from motif design to unique packaging. By utilizing natural materials, the dyeing process adds significant value to this masterpiece of intangible cultural heritage, which has also been registered under Indonesia’s intellectual property rights (HAKI).

The production process of Batik Alam Gerdu differs from conventional batik-making. It begins with motif research based on customer input, followed by translating ideas into design, the batik-making process, natural dyeing, tailoring, and finishing touches such as packaging. Each piece is then wrapped with a meaningful story, reflecting the dedication, time, and effort invested in its creation. Through this process, wearers are expected to gain a deeper understanding of the story behind the batik they wear.

Every stroke of the motif and the use of skin-friendly natural dyes create a distinctive impression for its owner. Due to this intricate process, the time required to complete each batik piece varies. Factors such as climate and geographical conditions—since parts of the process may take place in different locations—also contribute to the uniqueness of each custom-made natural dye batik.

For those interested in owning a piece of Batik Alam Gerdu, patience is essential. The lengthy production process ensures that each finished product carries a unique story, reflecting the wearer’s character, lifestyle, and identity.

These personalized batik pieces go beyond fashion—they represent self-identity: who we are, our purpose, and how these elements are expressed through the art of batik. This is achieved through carefully crafted motifs tailored to each individual’s persona, interpreted by skilled batik artisans.

To access this service, visitors are invited to engage in a sharing and consultation session to explore their personal stories and uncover a motif that truly represents them. So, who can own Batik Alam Gerdu? Anyone who values ethics, self-character, personal identity, and a deeper understanding of life’s philosophy—from healthcare professionals and public figures to community leaders, farmers, and entrepreneurs—can embrace this meaningful form of cultural expression.
