The Mandalika, July 22, 2024 – PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia/ITDC is committed to encouraging the participation of the surrounding community in the development of The Mandalika, Pujut Sub-district, Central Lombok Regency, NTB. Not only by recruiting local residents as part of ITDC but also by actively involving them in every event or activity held at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit, The Mandalika area. ITDC President Director Ari Respati said, “Our main focus currently is to provide training and certification for local workers to enhance international competitiveness. For example, more than 380 marshals from the local community were involved in organizing the MotoGPTM world event at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit after receiving international certification. Through this training, we believe the capabilities of the local community will improve, ultimately enabling them to enhance their welfare independently.” In addition, through various training and community empowerment programs we have implemented, such as foreign language training since 2017, mechanic training in 2021, Integrated Farming System in buffer villages, mushroom cultivation training, handicraft, and makeup training, marshal training in 2023, InJourney Hospitality House (IHH), and the Mandalika Child Learning Center, which have been ongoing since 2023. It is hoped that in the development and management of the Mandalika SEZ, we can prepare the community to welcome various international events, thereby improving the overall welfare of the surrounding community.” ITDC's commitment has received appreciation and support from various parties, particularly the youth of Pujut Sub-district. This support was expressed during a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) themed “Assessing NTB's Readiness to Welcome MotoGP 2024,” held at Raja Kuta Hotel, Mandalika on Saturday, (20/7). The event, initiated by Karang Taruna Pujut and supported by ITDC, The Mandalika, is part of the efforts to support the organization of MotoGPTM 2024. During the event, the head of Karang Taruna Pujut Sub-district, Sri Anom Putra Sanjaya, said, “This public discussion aims to evaluate the readiness for MotoGPTM (IndonesianGP), which will take place in September, and to identify the opportunities that can be utilized in the future and the contributive roles that can be played to ensure that this year's MotoGP 2024 event runs even better.” Sri Anom Putra Sanjaya added, “Seeing the positive impact created in the community thanks to the organization of the MotoGP and other international events, Karang Taruna Pujut Sub-district fully supports these events.” “We greatly appreciate the declaration of support from Pujut Youth for the 2024 MotoGP event at The Mandalika. This initiative demonstrates the strong commitment of the local community to ensuring the success of this international event. This declaration is part of the "Road to MotoGP 2024" series to strengthen the synergy between ITDC, MGPA, and the community around The Mandalika area. We are confident that with this collaboration, the 2024 Mandalika MotoGP will be successful and bring significant positive benefits to the region,” added Ari. In August 2024, ITDC will also carry out other activities, such as Movie On The Beach with Lola Amaria, and a mangrove planting event in the Eastern Zone of the Mandalika SEZ with Pemuda Panca Marga NTB. “With a commitment to involving the local community and significant support from the youth of Pujut Sub-district and the community around The Mandalika area, together we strive to ensure the success and maximum benefits from the organization of the 2024 MotoGP,” concluded Ari.
