Because wage rates on Batam Island are higher than in Indonesia generally, it is not the best choice of location for manufacturing investment, and unless there are very attractive inducements to investment there, it will be hard for the park to attract manufacturing industry.
由於巴譚島上的工資較印尼內地貴，不算是製造業的最佳投資選擇地點，除非有很好的獎勵投資辦法，否則較難吸引廠商投資。
