IN opening tourism destinations in Indonesia, it is not only seen due to economic factors. Together with the Ministry of Tourism & Creative Economy together with stakeholders, encourage tourists to travel in their own area.
According to Deputy for the Coordination of Tourism and Creative Economy, the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime & Investment, Odo RM Manuhutu said examples such as the hashtag #dipadangsaja and so on. Later we slowly open intercity tours, there is already movement. But of course we do all this by coordinating the COVID-19 Task Force.
“In the future we direct tourists to visit less crowded tourist areas or avoid mass crowds. I also explained about the Travel Bubble discussed at the Cabinet Meeting on May 28, where Travel Bubble is a safe interstate passageway and will be opened if there is agreement on a COVID-19 pandemic. The requirement is if in both countries COVID-19 cases have decreased and apply the same health protocol standard,” he said.
He added, for example in Bali and in Tokyo, we already had an agreement on a standard protocol used the same. So both the Task Force on the Indonesian side and the Ministry of Health on the Japanese side, when opened safely and comfortably. The point is precisely like a corridor where on both sides there is a door, the door will be opened only if there is an agreement and this is being coordinated by friends at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“The government has encouraged the reduction or relaxation of PPN 21 and PPh Article 25 in the tourism industry. And in the near future, he explained related discussions with the Ministry of Finance in order to increase the range of relaxation and incentives for the tourism industry,” Odo noted.
So the most important thing is actually, he continued, that there is tax relaxation for our tourism ecosystem so that it still exists. So that the recovery in 2021 or 2020 will continue to exist and be able to accommodate the arrival of domestic or foreign tourists. The point is how we together, namely the government, the private sector or other stakeholders maintain this ecosystem to be able to survive and continue to grow. [traveltext.id]
