UBM Attends HILDIKTIPARI National Working Meeting and the Launch of LAMWISATA at Bali Tourism Polytechnic

On October 1–2, 2025, Universitas Bunda Mulia (UBM) took part in the National Working Meeting (RAKERNAS) of the Indonesian Association of Tourism Higher Education Institutions (HILDIKTIPARI) as well as the launch of the Independent Accreditation Body for Tourism (LAMWISATA), held at Bali Tourism Polytechnic, Badung, Bali.

This national event was attended by 59 HILDIKTIPARI member institutions from across Indonesia. UBM was represented by Mr. Antonius Rizki Krisnadi, S.ST.Par., M.M.Par., Head of the Hospitality and Tourism Study Program.

The 2025 HILDIKTIPARI RAKERNAS adopted the theme of strengthening the quality of tourism higher education toward global standards. The program opened with remarks from several figures, including the Director of Bali Tourism Polytechnic, the Chair of HILDIKTIPARI, and the Chair of the LAMWISATA Accreditation Council, followed by a keynote address from the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia.

The series of events continued with a panel discussion themed “Toward World-Class Tourism Higher Education,” the official launch of LAMWISATA, a HILDIKTIPARI performance report, and breakout working groups to discuss strategies and programs for advancing national tourism education.

Through this forum, UBM gained several strategic benefits, including:

• Strengthening networks and collaboration with universities, government, and the tourism industry;

• An in-depth understanding of LAMWISATA’s independent accreditation system, which now uses nine assessment standards with an approach more adaptive to industry needs;

• Opportunities to develop curricula, research, and community service through cross-institution collaboration.

UBM’s participation in this event affirms the university’s commitment to continuing to play an active role in improving the quality of tourism higher education in Indonesia and contributing to the development of a globally competitive academic ecosystem.

Universitas Bunda Mulia extends its gratitude to HILDIKTIPARI and Bali Tourism Polytechnic for organizing this inspiring and collaborative event.
