Sandiaga Uno wore the Mandar Sureq silk weaving when he opened the 1st Tourism Working Group online. This is a new weaving motif from West Sulawesi, which was the idea of ??the West Sulawesi Provincial Tourism Office.
This Sureq Marasa fabric consists of a combination of three Sureq such as Sekomandi Kalumpang, Sambuq Mamasa, and Saqbe Mandar. The purpose of Sureq Marasa was made as an effort to preserve and promote the three superior fabrics of West Sulawesi which are the heritage of their ancestors.
Sandiaga Uno said that Sureq Marasa fabric is one of the creative economy products that can improve the community's economy, especially craftsmen, the majority of whom are women from the coastal areas of West Sulawesi.
"The Sureq Marasa Silk Weaving is made by hand-made processes and woven with traditional tools which are entirely done by human power. So, they have a high selling value," said Sandiaga Uno as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.
This meeting was also attended by the Chair of the Tourism Working Group, Frans Teguh and the Chairman Co of the Tourism Working Group, Iman Santosa. They both wore a typical Songkek scarf from Manggarai, West Nusa Tenggara.

Among the other things, during the feast or locally known as Penti, opening the field or locally known as Randang, to the time of deliberation or locally known as Nempung.
The motifs on the cloth used aren’t arbitrary. Each motif contains the meaning and hope of the Manggarai people in terms of the welfare of life, health, and relationships, both between humans and each other, humans with nature and with God.
