Regent Tarmizi Builds Specialty Souvenir Center to Boost Local Businesses

West Aceh Regent Tarmizi SP, MM along with Vice Regent Said Fadheil SH inspected the construction site of a West Aceh specialty souvenir center next to the Baitul Makmur Grand Mosque in Johan Pahlawan District on Thursday (8/6/2026). This outlet will sell local crafts and souvenirs made by local small business owners. Tarmizi mentioned several crafts that are already underway, including those made from water hyacinth, kasab fabric, and downstream food products from lumi-lumi fish. So far the potential is there but the market isn’t available, so the government is setting up the market and the community is preparing the products. The location was chosen next to the mosque so that tourists who stop by can buy souvenirs while also visiting the Baitul Makmur Grand Mosque. Being right on the main road makes it easy for people to drop by, unlike if the location were tucked away deep inland. https://www.harianaceh.co.id/2026/08/07/bupati-tarmizi-bangun-pusat-souvenir-khas-untuk-dongkrak-umkm/

Big respect to the regent, this is real action helping the people. The water hyacinth products and kasab are seriously cool, hope they get more and more known, even abroad.

MashaAllah, such a great idea! It’s right by the mosque so you can pray and pick up souvenirs at the same time. Hope it brings lots of blessings to the small businesses in West Aceh.

This souvenir center is really nice, reminds me of when I went for umrah back then-lots of vendors selling stuff around the mosque. Hope Aceh’s local products go global, aamiin.
