Jakarta, Desember 22, 2021 – PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) consistently provided comprehensive and relevant education for tourism village management. BCA re-presented training and inspiring webinars dedicated to women, especially in tourism villages. This year, a webinar was held again with a virtual live cooking demo featuring Indonesian culinary delights, especially snacks.
This webinar, which was part of the BCA CSR program, was opened by BCA Executive Vice President of CSR Inge Setiawati some time ago. On this special occasion, BCA collaborated with the Bogasari Baking Center, which invited Chef Haryanto to share recipes and how to prepare snacks that can be baked at home. Manager of SME and BBC Development PT. Indofood Sukses Makmur Bogasari Flour Mills Beatrix Patricia Soedibyo, BCA’s assisted tourism village management and the winners of the BCA Desa Wisata Award competition were present in this activity.
"In the midst of the current pandemic situation, we see many women starting to help the family economy, one of which is by starting a business. In tourism villages, one of the business opportunities they can carry out is the culinary business. We present a live virtual cooking demo to inspire the village management to explore the potentials for processed snacks to be sold online in particular," said Inge.
The cooking demo was the main attraction in this webinar because it gave inspiration for cooking recipes that can be applied to village management and homestay owners in tourism villages. Not only can they serve snacks, but they also can sell them as an online business opportunity that is currently being carried out by other village management. Regional specialties from tourism villages are also an added value for tourists who visit to know the local culture.
For information, the Solusi Bisnis Unggul (Excellent Business Solutions) program is part of BCA Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program for assisted MSME, communities and villages that have tourism and cultural education potentials. BCA through the Bakti BCA program has developed 12 assisted tourism villages spread across Sumatra, Java and Bali. In 2021, BCA has held the 2021 BCA Desa Wisata Award, which is a showcase event of tourism villages that are tough even though they are still dealing with the pandemic.
“BCA hopes that this activity can be a reference for tourist culinary delights and online business opportunities as well as to bring more prosper to the villages. Hopefully next year Indonesia's tourism can immediately rise and increase the income for the villages," concluded Inge.
