East Java Provincial Government Bans Tourist Destinations From Operating If You Don't Have A CHSE Certificate

SURABAYA - Head of the East Java Culture and Tourism Agency (Disbudpar), Sinarto, stated that only Level 2 and 3 tourist destinations in East Java were allowed to be opened. The condition is that they must have a CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety and Environment) certificate and a QR Code.

"This regulation is in accordance with the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs (Inmendagri), and must receive a recommendation from the local district/city government. So, level 2 and 3 regions must still be careful, don't go around on their own," said Sinarto, Tuesday, September 14.
