They were welcomed by a team from BUAS consisting of several officials and academic staff, including Mrs. Lucette Roovers-Martens, Director of Global Engagement BUAS, and Mr. Rob Simons, Educational Manager & Vice-Dean Academy for Tourism, along with several other lecturers and researchers. The signing of the MOU was carried out by the Director of Bali Polytechnic, Mr. Ida Bagus Putu Puja, together with Mrs. Lucette Roovers-Martens from BUAS. This MOU marks the beginning of cooperation between the two institutions in the fields of tourism, higher education, and research.
