The Mandalika 11 September 2026, – Ahead of the upcoming Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026, scheduled to take place on 9–11 October, PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero), or InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), is strengthening the readiness of The Mandalika through enhanced security and safety systems, as well as immigration services in the The Mandalika area. This initiative is part of efforts to ensure that The Mandalika is increasingly prepared to accommodate growing activities involving tourists, business operators, event organizers, and international stakeholders, in line with the development of the area as a sportstainment destination.Security and safety measures are being strengthened through cooperation with the Fire and Rescue Service of Central Lombok Regency. The scope of the cooperation includes fire prevention and response, identification and mapping of risk-prone areas, inspection of fire protection facilities and evacuation routes, firefighting, search and rescue operations, as well as preparedness training and simulations for workers, local communities, and tenants in the area. Meanwhile, ITDC is strengthening operational support for the Fire and Rescue Post located in the Western Zone of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) as part of the area's preparedness system for potential emergency situations.General Manager of The Mandalika, Pari Wijaya, stated that security and safety preparedness is one of the important foundations in destination management to ensure comfort and security amid the increasing intensity of tourism and event activities.“As an area develops into an internationally standardized sportstainment destination, destination readiness is not only about meeting venue and infrastructure standards, but also about ensuring that security, safety, and public services are properly implemented. Therefore, collaboration with the Fire and Rescue Service is an important part of ensuring that The Mandalika is prepared to face various situations, both during daily operations and when the area hosts international-scale events,” said Pari.ITDC is also strengthening service accessibility for international tourists and stakeholders through cooperation with the Class I Immigration Office of Mataram, by providing immigration services at The Mandalika, located in the central parking area of Bazaar Mandalika.Immigration services are scheduled to be available at least twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, covering various needs, including residence permits, changes in immigration status, extensions of visit visas, Exit Permit Only (EPO), Registration Certificates (TSP), changes to personal data or activities, as well as immigration information and consultation services.The availability of these services allows immigration administrative needs to be accessed more conveniently by foreign tourists, business operators, foreign workers, and international stakeholders conducting activities in The Mandalika. This accessibility also supports the creation of an increasingly conducive environment for tourism, business, and investment activities.In terms of security, ITDC has also established cooperation with the Regional Police of West Nusa Tenggara (Polda NTB) to strengthen operational security support for The Mandalika. The cooperation covers security assistance, contingency management, public outreach, human resource capacity building, utilization of supporting security facilities and infrastructure, supervision and control, as well as law enforcement support.Pari stated that the three areas of strengthening demonstrate that destination management is not solely focused on increasing attractiveness and economic activity, but also on creating an ecosystem that provides a sense of security and comfort, as well as administrative services for all users of the area.“The growth of a destination must go hand in hand with the readiness of its ecosystem. Tourists need a sense of security, business operators need a conducive investment climate, event organizers need certainty and security guarantees, while international stakeholders need services that can support their activities. Therefore, we are building cross-agency collaboration as part of our efforts to strengthen the foundation of The Mandalika as an internationally standardized integrated tourism destination that is ready to accommodate various national and international-scale activities,” explained Pari.Through strengthened preparedness, immigration, and security services, ITDC continues to enhance collaboration among stakeholders to establish The Mandalika as The Ultimate Lifestyle Sportstainment Destination, supported by a well-prepared destination ecosystem.

The awards were received by ITDC’s Independent Commissioner, Ekos Albar, who attended on behalf of ITDC.The award is an appreciation of ITDC's efforts in building the implementation of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) that is increasingly integrated into the company's strategy, business processes, oversight, and decision-making. ITDC's Independent Commissioner, Ekos Albar, said that strengthening GRC requires a joint commitment between the Board of Commissioners, the Directors, and all company members. “This award is both an appreciation and a motivation for us to continue strengthening corporate governance. GRC shouldn’t just stop as a supervision and compliance system, but it must become a culture embedded in business processes and decision-making. The Board of Commissioners will continue to encourage the strengthening of oversight and risk management functions so that ITDC can carry out its role as a master developer and asset manager prudently, adaptively, and sustainably,” said Ekos Albar.The award is an appreciation of ITDC's efforts in building the implementation of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) that is increasingly integrated into the company's strategy, business processes, oversight, and decision-making.

ITDC is currently developing and managing three tourism areas with different characteristics: The Nusa Dua in Bali, The Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara, and The Golo Mori in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. As a master developer and asset manager, ITDC not only develops the areas and infrastructure but also manages assets and builds a business and tourism ecosystem within them.GRC from Compliance to Business Enabler Acting President Director of ITDC, Ahmad Fajar, emphasized that the growing scale and complexity of ITDC's business demand that GRC be positioned not just as a control mechanism, but as part of business judgment in every strategic decision. ITDC is currently developing and managing three tourism areas with different characteristics: The Nusa Dua in Bali, The Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara, and The Golo Mori in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. As a master developer and asset manager, ITDC not only develops the areas and infrastructure but also manages assets and builds a business and tourism ecosystem within them."For ITDC, GRC is more than just compliance. GRC is the foundation for making the right business decisions, protecting the company from risks, and at the same time helping us see opportunities and create value. That's why GRC has to be present from the moment strategies are formulated, risks are identified, decisions are made, all the way to implementation and performance evaluation," said Ahmad Fajar.   According to him, effective GRC implementation should be able to give management a complete perspective in understanding the relationship between strategy, risk, compliance, internal control, audit, ESG, and company performance. ITDC brings this approach to life through the implementation of Integrated GRC, including risk-based RKAP, Risk Appetite Statement, Board Meetings and Risk Management Forums, as well as strengthening the functions of committees that support company oversight and control. Tone from the Top, Role Model, and GRC Culture According to Ahmad Fajar, the success of GRC implementation ultimately depends heavily on tone from the top, leadership role modeling, and the company's consistency in building awareness and learning so that GRC becomes ingrained in the organizational culture. GRC is not enough to just appear in policies, procedures, or oversight forums. These principles must be a part of how the company sets priorities, assesses risks and opportunities, and makes business decisions. "Awards are not the ultimate goal. What’s far more important is how we build a strong and sustainable GRC system, so that GRC becomes a culture and continues to work in every company decision-making process. That’s the legacy we want to build," said Ahmad Fajar.For ITDC, the success of GRC is not solely measured by the level of compliance with procedures, but by its ability to support better business decisions, improve performance and efficiency, protect assets, and create long-term value for the company and all stakeholders. This aligns with the approach ITDC has developed to make GRC an enabler for healthy, adaptive, and sustainable business growth. This Integrated GRC approach is part of the principle that ITDC continuously strengthens: Protect Value. Create Value. Sustain Value. Protecting the company's value through good governance and risk management, creating new opportunities and performance through quality business decisions, and ensuring that value can continue to grow and be sustainably preserved.
