Seven ministries and agencies under the office of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment helmed by Luhut Pandjaitan are signing on to support the Work from Bali program to help revive the resort island’s economy, which has been badly hammered by the pandemic.

Luhut hoped that the program could boost the tourism recovery and transformation of the Island of the Gods. He also ensured that the government would accelerate the Covid-19 vaccination in these tourist areas.

Coordinated by Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), a total of 16 hotels in the Nusa Dua area will provide accommodation and facilities needed by ministries and agencies.

“Hopefully, the Work from Bali program can attract professionals in the government and business sectors to help increase the occupancy rate of hotels,” said Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno.
