AHEAD of the reopening of national tourism, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy asked destinations and tourism village managers to prepare themselves.
According to the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno said that it includes not only services, but also aspects of health protocols through the implementation of CHSE (cleanliness Health Safety Environment Sustainability) which is integrated with the PeduliLindungi application.
“The arrival of tourists will directly restore the economy, especially for the local community. So that business opportunities and employment opportunities will be opened again for the community. This is our hope to restore the economy and create the widest possible employment opportunities,” said Sandiaga Uno.
Even so, Sandiaga Uno appealed to tourism village managers to also develop themselves for Nusantara tourists. The reason is because Nusantara tourists have a very large potential for visits. Moreover, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) will host the Mandalika Moto GP, World Superbike and G20 events in 2022.
“So, there will be a lot of events that will take place in NTB. We hope that it will also be able to open up opportunities for revival, the economy will move again and jobs will open. However, the arrival of tourists must be in line with COVID-19 control,” he stated.
He explained, health protocols and quarantine protocols must be adhered to in a disciplined manner by all foreign travelers, especially foreign tourists. They must have received a complete dose of COVID-19 vaccine and undergo a three-day quarantine period upon arrival in Indonesia.
“Referring to the Circular of the Task Force for Handling COVID-19 Number 20 of 2021 concerning International Travel Health Protocols during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The key is controlling COVID-19. I hope that all members of the public who travel abroad and foreign citizens will comply with this provision,” he concluded. [traveltext.id/photo special]
