Politeknik Pariwisata (Poltekpar) Bali, as an extension of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf), has been sharing its tourism expertise with civil servants (PNS) in the Department of Tourism and Creative Economy of East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT).
The Director of Poltekpar Bali, Ida Bagus Putu Puja, stated in Denpasar on Monday that this initiative is framed within a training program that takes place both online and offline from November 27 to December 9, 2023, offering knowledge on basic tourism concepts and the role of the government.
"This technical training is expected to provide an opportunity for civil servants to master basic tourism concepts, knowledge about tourist destinations, the tourism industry, tourism marketing, human resources and institutions, as well as the development of information technology as a provision to become good facilitators, dynamizers, and regulators," he said.
The participants, involved both in-person and virtually, included 10 civil servants from the Department of Tourism and Creative Economy of East Nusa Tenggara Province, 10 from the Department of Tourism of Kupang City, and 10 from the Department of Tourism and Creative Economy of West Manggarai Regency.
The civil servants were provided with basic knowledge in the convention and event industry, tourism ethics and basic concepts, the hospitality industry, the travel industry, national tourism development, tourist attractions, tourism marketing, tourism institutions, information technology in tourism, and field studies in Undisan Village, Bangli.
"In the field study activities, participants not only received theoretical knowledge but also observed firsthand one of the Tourism Villages in Undisan, Bangli, and studied the management of the tourism village," said Putu Puja.
Many tourism experts were involved, including lecturers from Poltekpar campuses under Kemenparekraf, such as Femmy I Dalimunthe from Poltekpar Medan, Ratna from Poltekpar Makassar, Faisal Fahdian Puksi from Poltekpar NHI Bandung, Putri Rizkiyah from Poltekpar Lombok, Mustika Permatasari from Poltekpar Palembang, and Ni Putu Evi Wijayanti, Putu Ayu Aryasih, Hanugerah Kristiono Liestiandre, and Dewa Ayu Made Lily Dianasari from Poltekpar Bali.
After sharing tourism knowledge, the participants were asked to prepare field study proposals and complete a comprehensive test.
The training participants will be evaluated from December 21-23, 2023, at the Department of Tourism and Creative Economy of East Nusa Tenggara Province, the Department of Tourism of Kupang City, and the Department of Tourism, Creative Economy, and Culture in West Manggarai Regency.
Putu Puja stated that this activity is part of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which includes education, research, and community service.
In addition to its duty to produce outstanding and professional tourism cadres, the government trusts Poltekpar Bali to contribute by sharing knowledge and skills with society and officials in the tourism sector.
Through this training, the expected goal is the development of tourism human resources for civil servants in the NTT region, Kupang City, and West Manggarai.
