TMII Awaits The Decision Regarding The Mandatory Tourist Vaccine Requirements

JAKARTA - The management of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), East Jakarta, is waiting for a decision from the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 regarding the discourse of having to show proof of vaccination for visiting tourists.

"We are waiting for the SE of the DKI COVID-19 Task Force regarding the reopening of TMII operations," said TMII Executive Director I Gusti Ngurah Putu Sedana as quoted by Antara, Friday, August 13.

Sedana added that TMII fully supports the decision if tourists who come to visit are required to show proof of the COVID-19 vaccine.

"We will support later if visitors are required to show a vaccine certificate when buying entry tickets," said Sedana.

Currently TMII is still temporarily closing operations for tourists until August 16, 2021 due to the extended Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) policy.

During the temporary closure period, TMII carried out routine inspections and maintenance activities for a number of existing facilities and assets while still implementing health protocols.

"Maintenance of existing facilities at TMII is maintained, every time we control, the daily picket officers keep coming in turns," said Sedana.
