New tourism board for Bali

BALI Tourism Board (BTB), the original coordinating organisation of the province’s tourism industry, has been dissolved and replaced by the Association of Indonesian Tourism (Gabungan Industri Pariwisata Indonesia – GIPI).

The new umbrella organisation was formed to comply with Indonesia’s law on national tourism.

GIPI-Bali, which is run by professionals but with government funding and support, will work towards accelerating and integrating tourism initiatives that are currently executed independently by the government and private sector.

“GIPI will become the new face for the leaders of tourism and the partner of the government,” said the chair of the GIPI conference in Bali, Ratna Eka Soebrata.

For English-usage purposes, the name Bali Tourism Board will be retained when referring to GIPI, although GIPI will be used within Indonesia.

Former BTB chairman, Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya, has been elected as GIPI-Bali’s chairman. (Source: TTG Asia)
