JAKARTA – Accelerating the development of super priority tourism destinations (DPSP) requires several strategies, namely increasing bureaucratic efficiency and effectiveness, developing human resources, strengthening coordination and synergy between institutions, and strengthening tourism sector institutions.
Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan expressed his appreciation for the cooperation of various parties involved in preparing the strategy to accelerate the development of DPSP.
“This is all teamwork that works, I thank you and you are extraordinary,” he said when virtually chairing the Borobudur Temple Preservation Meeting as a World Heritage Site, Wednesday (11/9).
One of the discussion points in the meeting was the completion of the Draft Presidential Regulation on Borobudur Temple Complex Governance.
The draft stipulates that the Borobudur Temple Complex governance is a form of integrated management mechanism to protect, develop, and utilize the Borobudur Temple Complex as a world heritage through planning, implementation, and supervision regulatory policies for the greatest prosperity of the people.
“For the governance so that the handling is permanent, we are ready to support the acceleration of the Presidential Decree, including institutional strengthening and human resources, Mr. Minister,” said Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Abdullah Azwar Anas during the meeting.
The Ministry of PANRB is making various efforts to improve public services in the tourism sector.
First, it accelerates the replication of innovations that improve the tourist experience while driving the economy and increasing tourist attractiveness.
Second, encouraging digitalisation in public services in the tourism sector that facilitates the management and integration of tourist services for tourists.
Third, encourage ease, speed, and transparency of investment in the tourism sector through Online Single Submission (OSS), electronic signatures (TTE), and simplification of permit requirements.
The development of the tourism sector, Anas explained, cannot be separated from increasing the capacity of human resources through several tourism polytechnics in Indonesia.
Tourism polytechnics have a key role in bridging the gap between the needs of the tourism industry and the competence of human resources (HR).
To support this, the Ministry of PANRB continues to work on structuring and strengthening the tourism polytechnic organization in order to produce graduates who have the skills to support the development of tourism areas.
The strategy to ensure that the tourism development programme is continued in the next administration is to continue to carry out bureaucratic reforms on several predetermined themes.
“Namely poverty alleviation, increased investment, increased use of domestic products, and digitalisation,” he added.
