JAKARTA: A local hospitality business group is anticipating multiple blows to the already struggling industry as the government is set to introduce policies that could hurt the tourism sector, saying that current developments have put them in “survival mode”.
The Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants Association (PHRI) said on Nov 19 that it had written a letter to the Finance Ministry and President Prabowo Subianto asking them to reconsider a stipulation that orders ministries to cut spending for official trips by a minimum of 50 percent.
