7 Ministries Under Luhut's Office to Run Work from Bali Program

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Seven ministries and institutions under the office of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment helmed by Luhut Pandjaitan will participate in the Work from Bali program. This program was launched after the signing of a memorandum of understanding led by Luhut.

“This memorandum of understanding is made as an effort to support the tourism in The Nusa Dua Bali with the principles of good corporate governance and will apply to seven ministries and institutions under the office of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment,” said Luhut in a written statement on Tuesday evening, May 18.

A total of 16 hotels in The Nusa Dua area will provide accommodation and facilities needed by ministries and agencies. The hotel managers have coordinated with the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) as the manager of the local tourism area.

Luhut hoped that the program could boost the tourism recovery and transformation of the Island of the Gods. He also ensured that the government would accelerate the Covid-19 vaccination in these tourist areas.

Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno who also attended the MoU signing said the cooperation would bring positive impacts on the economy of Bali. “Hopefully, the Work from Bali program can attract professionals in the government and business sectors to help increase the visit rate of hotels,” he said.
