JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta City Government (Pemkot Jakpus) will supervise and monitor the operating hours of nightclubs during the Christmas and New Year's (nataru) 2023 holidays.

"The current rules of night entertainment venues still refer to the implementation of level one Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM), in the sense that they can still operate but must comply with applicable regulations," said Head of Central Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Sub-dept. Shinta Nindyawati quoted from Antara, Thursday, December 8.

Shinta said the Tourism Office and the Tourism Sub-Department in conducting surveillance would stick to local regulations and governors regarding tourism during PPKM level one.

In addition, he emphasized that entrepreneurs for nightclubs comply with applicable operating hours regulations.

"Since PPKM level one, the manager of nightclubs must still refer to the rules of the opening and closing hours or must comply with operating hours," he said.

In this case, it is necessary to improve supervision to anticipate rogue businessmen who take advantage of the euphoria ahead of the year-end holidays.

In addition, the Central Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Sub-Department (Parekraf) is also open to receiving public reports if they find a place of business that violates operational provisions.

Shinta also said that several places such as restaurants were allowed to operate with the condition that visitors had to scan the PeduliLindung bar code.

Shinta hopes that these efforts can make night entertainment entrepreneurs more disciplined towards applicable operational regulations.
