Bali is a popular tourist destination for both vacation and work

Since the rise of Bali tourism, various events held in Bali have catalyzed faster economic recovery resulting from the tourism sector. Keeping in mind that, since March 2020, Bali tourism has suffered as a result of flight cancellations to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Domestic and foreign tourists are beginning to arrive for vacations on the island of Bali, despite a drop in positive cases and various easing policies such as Visa on Arrival (VoA), free quarantine, and no PCR.

The 6th Indonesia Procurement Forum and Expo (IPFE) will be held on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at the Harris Hotel and Residence on Jalan Sunset Road, Kuta, Badung, Bali, by the Association of Indonesian Procurement Experts (IAPI). In addition, the International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management (IFPSM) is hosting the 2022 World Summit, 'Leading Transformation Through Disruptive Innovations' at The Stone, Legian, Kuta, Bali.

Apart from accelerating economic recovery, the reason for holding the event in Bali is to take a vacation after participating in the activity. Working while on vacation and experiencing different cultures, natural beauty, and the friendliness of the Balinese people.

I Ketut Jaman, the Main Director of PT Melali MICE and the Professional Conference Organizer (PCO) for the two events, expressed his pleasure to work with IAPI. Because the event indirectly promotes Bali as a safe and comfortable place to visit.

According to him, this event will also help to revitalize Bali tourism, which has suffered as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. "Of course, this is good news for the development of Bali tourism," said Ketut Jaman.

Tjok Bagus Pemayun, the head of the Bali Provincial Tourism Office, stated that in this new normal era, many people want to visit Bali. Some of them prefer to work from Bali. "They work while on vacation." So work online from Bali," he explained.

It is said that those who choose to work while on vacation do so because Bali is a very safe and comfortable place to live. Apart from the friendliness of the people, the basic needs of these digital nomads are very affordable when compared to the countries they come from.
