MATARAM - Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian gave the green light to all local governments to again hold various activities to meetings at hotels and restaurants.
"Regions may carry out activities at hotels and restaurants. I guarantee it because I have spoken directly (with President Prabowo)," Tito said while attending the West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government Musrenbang in Mataram, Wednesday, June 4.
Tito emphasized that the government must think about hotels and restaurants that live from agenda meeting, incentive, convention, and exhibition (MICE).
According to him, the hotel and restaurant business fields have many employees and also chains of food and beverage supply. Meeting activities at hotels and restaurants can revive producers who supply goods to hotels and restaurants.
"It's okay to go under, but don't go away at all, keep carrying out activities in hotels and restaurants. The target is a hotel and restaurant that is about to collapse, make activities there so that they can live," said the Minister of Home Affairs.
Tito said the biggest opportunity to hold activities and meetings at hotels or restaurants was only in the regions because the central government only cut the budget of IDR 50 trillion for 552 regions in Indonesia.

The budget cut figure of IDR 50 trillion is said by the Minister of Home Affairs to be not too significant so that other budget allocations are not disrupted.
"So, just leave the area for (meetings) to hotels and restaurants, that's okay. Official travel, finance. Please use the feeling that if the meeting is enough three to four times, don't make 10 meetings," said Tito.
