One of the ministry's efforts to go digital is digital learning or online training that is aimed for all members of the ministry from the main office to regional tourism agencies.
This program is supported by Telkom and developed by Inventure’s Yuswohady.
Using the e-learning program, participants don't have to come and sit in a class. It can also shorten the study time and save more cost.
“This digital platform is expected to speed up and ease the study of tourism,” added Ahman. (kes)
