The Indonesian government continues to emphasize the importance of skill and competency development for migrant workers, particularly in the hospitality sector, as part of its international placement strategy. According to national placement data, more than 90,000 job orders across 32 countries have been listed for Indonesian workers in fields including spa therapy, housekeeping, and restaurant service.

Countries with strong demand for Indonesian hospitality talent include Turkey, Croatia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Malaysia, where roles such as waiter, spa therapist, cleaner, and cook are in high demand. Government representatives emphasize that Indonesian workers must focus on service skills and professional competencies to meet international expectations.

This focus underscores how hospitality remains one of the key sectors in global job placements and highlights the need for continuous training and readiness.
