Reviving cultural and tourism events in East Java

East Java,where Indonesia's second-biggest city Surabaya is located,is home to hundreds of cultural and tourism events held annually and attracts visitors from all over the country. In 2019,before the pandemic hits,367 events were hosted across 38 regencies and cities in the area.

Notable cultural event in East Java includes Jazz Gunung Bromo,an annual international two-day jazz festival held at an open-air stage against the beautiful Mount Bromo in the background. Other notable events are an international cycling tournament that is a part of UCI Asia Tour,International Tour de Banyuwangi Ijen and Indonesia's biggest annual fashion parade,Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC).

At Surabaya's CERPEN,Event Director of JFC,David Susilo,said that the CHSE protocols would be in place at the upcoming fashion parade,run in a hybrid format that blends online and onsite events.

"We're excited to kickstart the next Jember Fashion Carnaval on November 20,following the CHSE guidelines. Strict CHSE guidelines will be applied in all pre-event,on-event,and post-event sessions. Our crew has been on training for three months,in collaboration with the COVID task force (Satgas COVID) in the area,to make sure that everything will run smoothly," said David.

Spreading the words

At CERPEN,the local government also invites local media to spread the words following CHSE guidelines to the public. The government has published 11 industry-related COVID-19 guidelines and manuals on the CHSE website,including guidelines for hosting events,organizing MICE,as well as CHSE health and safety guidelines for tourism sites and creative economy sectors.

The guideline covers what to do before,during,and after an event to ensure attendee safety,as well as key risk factors to consider.

"These guidelines and manuals are here to provide the public with all the necessary knowledge when it comes to adapting to in-person events during the pandemic. Synergy and collaboration are key in making this happen. With CHSE protocols in place,we're looking forward to seeing more cultural events and festivities happening again in Surabaya and beyond," said Hafiz.

FollowingSurabaya,the Ministry will also hold CERPEN programs in Makassar and Lombok to socialize the CHSE protocol for events.
