In response to the cancellation of Dua Lipa's concert in Jakarta, Special Envoy of the President for Tourism, Zita Anjani expressed profound concern through her Instagram story regarding the sudden cancellation of Dua Lipa's concert which was supposed to be held at Indonesia Arena, Senayan, Jakarta, on November 9, 2024.
This sudden cancellation occurred just one day before the event due to unforeseen safety and logistical issues. "I deeply regret the cancellation of Dua Lipa's concert in Jakarta. This incident has the potential to negatively impact Indonesia's tourism image in the eyes of the world, considering that international concerts like this can attract foreign tourists and boost the country's foreign exchange," said Zita Anjani.
Nevertheless, Zita Anjani extends full support to music promoters and event organizers in Indonesia to continuously improve operational and safety standards.
"I urge promoters to always ensure that every aspect of event production meets international standards. Through this, Indonesia can become a preferred destination for global artists to hold concerts that will ultimately enhance the tourism sector," she added.
Zita also emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government, event organizers, and other stakeholders to ensure that Indonesia is ready to host international-scale events. "We must work together to build Indonesia's reputation as a safe, professional, and friendly country for artists and tourists," she hoped.
