Mudi Astuti, Chair of WTN Indonesia, commented, “As WTN Indonesia Chapter collaborates with PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) Indonesia Chapter, which has already established partnerships with several tourism schools in Indonesia, WTN Indonesia facilitates the Hospitality Management Operations scholarship program to various PATA Indonesia Chapter Partner universities and PHONUS Partner Institutions, which are part of the Bali Tourism Board (BTB) in Bali. The aim of the three tourism organizations facilitating this is to ensure the smooth operation of the program, including visa arrangements, the recruitment process, student protection during the study program, and more.”
In light of this, the three tourism organizations are currently conducting a series of awareness campaigns and visits to various universities in Bali, including Triatma Mulya University, Bali International Polytechnic, SPB & IBI Vocational School, Dyana Pura University, ELIZABETH Vocational School, and the Bali Tourism Polytechnic, from October 1 to 5, 2023.

The scholarship program offered by Evergreen College in Toronto aims to support knowledge enhancement and provide opportunities for overseas work experience, allowing young individuals to enhance their competitiveness for careers in the tourism industry. It also aims to elevate the quality of graduates from partner universities, ensuring their readiness and added value to Indonesia’s tourism industry.
