The Indonesian tourism industry continues to grow and competition is getting tougher. In the midst of thousands of tourism actors who are competing to build careers and business in this sector, one thing that most distinguishes true professionals from the mediocre is the certification of the tourism profession.
For those of you who are considering taking a tourism profession certification or are still confused about where to start, this article is here to answer all your questions completely and comprehensively.
What is a Tourism Professional Certification?
Tourism Professional Certification is an official recognition that a licensed professional certification body gives to someone who has met certain competency standards in the tourism sector. This certification is issued based on a competency test that refers to the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (SKKNI) in the tourism sector set by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
According to Law Number 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism, workers in the field of tourism are encouraged to have competency certification as proof of nationally recognized professionalism.
Thus, this certification is not just an additional document in the CV, but a valid proof that you are truly competent and worthy of trust in carrying out a professional role in the tourism industry.
