BeLITUNG - Deputy Regent of Belitung, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Isyak Meirobie was trusted by the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno as a private spokesman in the field of "sport tourism" (sport tourism).
"Because this is a private spokesman not a spokesman for the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, so I accept it," said Belitung Deputy Regent, Isyak Meirobie in Tanjung Pandan, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, June 17.

"I and Mr. Sandi have not just met, we have been friends for a long time and know each other personally, we have chemistry and he has the background of entrepreneurs, I am also entrepreneurs who enter the government system, so we have a vision of how to manage the same bureaucracy and government," he said.
Isyak said that he accepted that the offer to become a spokesman was not due to political factors.
He said this was solely for the sake of advancing sports tourism in Indonesia.
"I am well aware that the ethics of organization is still as a state official, there are still six months ahead and it will be resolved, as a private spokesman attached to Mr. Sandi, not as the Ministry of Tourism, I also do not receive any rights from there, this is for the sake of our friendship to help him be dedicated more broadly," he said.
Isyak explained that Sandiaga Uno's personal position as a spokesman in the field of sports tourism will be used as well as possible.
"Through this spokesman position, how can I convey to all Indonesian people about sport tourism and this is very suitable for Belitung as the new 10 Bali destination in the country," he said.
