BALI will host the Global Platform Distraction Reduction (GPDRR) in May 2022. The biennial forum formed by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) will be an opportunity for Bali to carry out economic recovery.
According to the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Lieutenant General TNI Ganip Warsito said the forum was planned to be attended by 193 countries and become a large forum attended by approximately 5,000 to 7,000 participants.
“Bali also has to work hard to ensure that COVID-19 cases are suppressed so that they can still be trusted as the location for the forum. We have to work hard, work together, together to bring Bali back to zero cases in order to get confidence in trust because this concerns the trust of our country, Bali in the eyes of the world is a tourist destination and a center for foreign nationals who want to vacation and travel,” he said.
Ganip Warsito acknowledged that the pandemic and the imposition of restrictions on community activities (PPKM) had an impact on tourism. However, the prevention of transmission of COVID-19 must be tightened. The government has also drawn up a roadmap to overcome this. Going forward, Indonesia will not be able to completely eliminate COVID-19 in a short time.
“The handling of COVID-19 will turn into control. Like Bali, although vaccination coverage is already high, the number of cases is still high. Evaluation needs to be done, one of which is by implementing centralized isolation for COVID-19 sufferers. We have to change handling into control, turn pandemic into endemic,” he concluded.
