VoxPop – Head of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), Suharso Monoarfa, has stated that seven tourism issues must be handled by the collaboration of all parties. It aims to realize quality tourism.
"Quality tourism is shown by an increase in added value received by the hosts or local communities, and an increase in foreign exchange value through increasing the length of stay and spending of tourists," Monoarfa stated during a ministerial meeting held to finalize the National Integrated Tourism Master Plan (ITMP) at the Bappenas Office.
Realizing great tourism in Indonesia will also require improving the quality of attractions, the readiness of industry and the community, and the capacity of tourism human resources, he added.
Meanwhile, the seven tourism issues are the lowering of environmental quality, poor governance of destinations, poor services, low tourism human resource capacity, limited access to air, land, and sea transportation, lack of investment in the tourism sector, and lack of disaster preparation.
