Interior Minister allows the regional government to meet at the hotel restaurant, Phri Happy

Jakarta – Chairman of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) Hariyadi BS Sukamdani welcomed the policy of the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian who allowed the local government to hold a meeting at hotels and restaurants. Hariyadi was of the opinion that the policy could restore the hotel sector. “Of course, we welcome it. Because it is expected to recover the hotel sector immediately. Of course, we appreciate what has been transferred by the Minister of Home Affairs. The point is, because it will automatically help to restore the hospitality sector. That’s what we really need,” Hariyadi said when it was contacted on Saturday (7/6/2025). According to him, the threat of termination of employees of the employment (PHK) can be avoided with this policy. He then hoped that there would be no more mass dismissal.

So God wants, we pray that nothing happens,” he said. Hariyadi also fully supports the policy. According to him, local governments must hold meetings at hotels and restaurants for their needs. “It is very supportive and thank you for being loosened. Because it’s not because we just ask the government to spend. But there’s a need. The local government has a need,” he explained. “So it is not the local government and then makes activities in the hotel or restaurant with the aim of shopping as long as it is. But there are indeed needs. They have to hold coordination meetings, do socialization, do training, they need a place. There is indeed a need,” he added. Previously, Tito Karnavian emphasized that the Regional Government (Pemda) was allowed to keep activities in hotels and restaurants. Budget efficiency policy does not mean that meetings or meetings that are considered important are held in hotels or restaurants. “We also have to think of restaurant hotels; they also have employees, they also have what supply chains (supply chains) of all types of food (what) we are eating now,” Tito said in his statement on Wednesday (4/6/). According to him, meetings can be done in hotels and restaurants, as long as they are really useful and not excessive. This step is also at the same time to revive the hospitality sector. Tito claims to have received direct guidance from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, so that hospitality and restaurants are still turned on amid efficiency. He also said that reducing the budget for implementing activities in hotels and restaurants can indeed be performed in the midst of efficiency. However, the local government must also reflect on the sustainability of the sector business. According to Tito, it was allowed, but there was no award of the budget at all.
