Many Problems With The Implementation Of Supervision Of Pariwisat Business Permits, Kemenpar Serap Aspiration Stakeholders

The Ministry of Tourism (Kemenpar) presents a communication forum involving tourism stakeholders (ministerial/institutions, tourism offices, associations and business actors) to absorb aspirations and obstacles in the field as well as formulate a mutual agreement in strengthening the implementation of risk-based business licensing supervision in the tourism sector.

Risk-based business licensing supervision is expected to run in line with all inputs and obstacles that are identified and resolved based on joint cross-sectoral discussions, so as to create a better tourism service monitoring and quality ecosystem.

Deputy for Industry and Investment of the Ministry of Tourism, Rizki Handayani, in the Communication Forum Strengthening Policy and Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing, at Grand Mansion Menteng, Jakarta, Tuesday (27/5/2025), said supervision needs to be carried out so that tourists get a good experience during travel. This is a shared responsibility across ministries/agencies.

"We understand that there are many standards that we do not yet have and guidelines that have not been made by the Ministry of Tourism which are related to high risks. However, it is possible that this forum can provide input to us at the Ministry of Tourism and to the office," said Rizki.

The Ministry of Tourism itself has developed a Tourism Standards Supervision Information System. What includes data on tourism businesses that have been certified or have implemented standards. Currently, the system is still in the refinement stage, so that it can be utilized optimally.

On this occasion, a number of ministry/institutional representatives were present to deliver various presentations regarding risk-based business licensing supervision based on the perspective of their respective fields, including investment and downstreaming; the environment; agrarian and spatial planning; public work; employment; marine and fisheries; fisheries; and forestry.

Not only that, a number of inputs were also submitted by the tourism, association, and business actors starting from the LSHS renewal scheme (Setifikat Laik Higiene Sanitasi), the need for work safety training, human resource improvement, strengthening emergency response systems in tourist destinations, further supervision for travel agents who do not yet have official permits, so there needs to be a movement or call for using official travel agents to design tourist trips.

Assistant Deputy for Investment Acceleration and Downstreaming of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Ichsan Zulkarnaen, said the supervision was key in carrying out risk-based business licensing.

"Together we can synergize, strengthen the supervision of this risk-based business licensing as part of building the nation and creating a healthy and inclusive business ecosystem," said Ichsan.

Director of Prevention of the Impact of Regional Policy and Sector, Ministry of Environment, Widhi Handoyo said that one of the things that need to be considered in high-risk business licensing is the environmental approval that is the heart of the licensing system in Indonesia.

"Because legally in accordance with the Job Creation Law Business licensing for businesses and activities cannot be issued without environmental approval," said Widhi.

Meanwhile, the Director of the Manpower Supervision System Development, Ministry of Manpower, Yuli Adiratna revealed that K3 (Working Safety and Health) is needed as the foundation of the sustainable Indonesian tourism industry.

"In its implementation, commitment and concrete actions across sectors are needed consistently, such as joint inspection and compiling K3 Tourism guidelines," said Yuli.
