Buleleng Regent Proposes Vaccine Booster For Tourism Actors
Buleleng, InfoPublik - Buleleng Regent Putu Agus Suradnyana proposed to the Bali Provincial Government to provide a vaccine booster or the third vaccine for tourism actors. Boosters like Pfizer and Moderna.
"People want a speedy recovery. We have to look at the facts that tourism is expected to recover and rise," he said when met at the Buleleng Regent's Office, Monday (13/9/2021).
Agus Suradnyana explained that this idea or proposal had been submitted to the Governor of Bali. This proposal is based on what is happening in Balinese society today.
Everyone hopes that tourism, which has been the backbone of the economy, can recover. Including what has happened in other areas to quickly rise from adversity.
For example, in the United States, people who watch tennis are no longer wearing masks and sitting not far apart. "This is the basis of my proposal. How the economy, especially the economy and tourism will soon rise, "he explained.
Against this background, the thought of discussing it openly with the central government and provincial governments emerged.
How in areas where the tourism economy interacts can a third booster or vaccine be given. The vaccine can be Moderna or Pfizer.
With the provision of the third vaccine, it can give confidence to people from outside such as tourists to tourism areas. This should be tried first in some tourist areas.
If we can't afford it, try one first in Kuta, for example. People don't have to be infected anymore. Why Pfizer or Moderna?.
"Because, I'm sorry, there are those who don't believe it. We still have examples that have been vaccinated three times with certain vaccines still getting hit again," said Agus Suradnyana.
Agus Suradnyana said that for him this proposal meant that if the central government did not have the budget to provide a third vaccine with Pfizer or Moderna, cooperation could be carried out in the Bali Provincial Government.
Discussions and negotiations can be carried out by hotel owners and investors who invest in Bali regarding the purchase of a modern booster.
Discussions or approaches can also be carried out with consulates-general of friendly countries in Bali such as European Union countries.
It can be Business to Business (B2B) or Government to Government (G2G). G2G is carried out through the central government and B2B through tourism actors.
“If this can be done, I am sure our tourism will recover faster. I have told the governor. I submit this proposal for input only for the common good. I'm just giving an idea from what I saw," he said. (MC of Buleleng Regency
