Kehadiran NBSO di Belitung juga diharapkan membuka pintu kerja sama baru antara Belitung dan mitra internasional, terutama dalam pengembangan pariwisata berkelanjutan, promosi destinasi, serta penguatan industri lokal berbasis budaya dan alam. 

“UPTD menegaskan komitmennya untuk terus menjadikan Belitung sebagai destinasi wisata unggulan yang berdaya saing di tingkat global,” pungkas Apri.
