The Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko Temple Tourism Park Service Cooperative held its 38th Annual Members Meeting at the Prambanan Museum hall, Klaten, Wednesday (27/3/2024). The Cooperative's Annual Members Meeting (RAT) is the highest authority forum aimed at reporting the results of a year's performance and presenting the work program for the following year.

The RAT is a form of accountability for the work of the management, supervisors and member participation in the previous fiscal year. The RAT also discusses performance, challenges and joint deliberations with members which are attended directly by members, both offline and online.

Chairman of the Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko Temple Tourism Park Service Cooperative, Aryono Hendro Malyanto, reported that the cooperative's performance during the 2023 financial year was full of optimism, in line with the economic conditions that are starting to recover post-pandemic.

This can be assessed by the achievement of the remaining business results (SHU) for the 2023 financial year of 1.6 billion rupiah, higher than the SHU for the 2022 financial year of 1 billion rupiah. Meanwhile, in 2023, the total assets of the TWC Service Cooperative were 27 billion rupiah, up from 2022 which was only 23 billion rupiah.

"In 2023, we also received an award as the best service cooperative in Sleman Regency. We also started implementing a new management pattern, because now we are directly under the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, and guided by the Sleman Regency Cooperatives and SMEs Service. There are many requirements that must be met, because we are moving to the national level," explained Aryono.

The cooperative, which was established in 1982, continues to strive to develop its business, not only in the tourism support service sector in the Taman Wisata Candi environment. This requires support from various parties, both administrators and all members of the cooperative to play a role in advancing this cooperative for the common interest.

"This is in accordance with the values ​​underlying cooperatives, namely family, independence, responsibility, democracy, equality, and justice for the welfare of all members," he explained.

Representative of the Sleman Regency Cooperatives and SMEs Service, Wulan Anggraeni, encouraged the Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko Temple Tourism Park Service Cooperative to expand their business to develop further, not only in the TWC area, but also outside the tourist area. 

"We can synergize well with Dinai and other cooperatives, to open insights, read business opportunities that can be developed or also utilize cooperation between cooperatives to develop business units. This spin-off business is carried out in order to develop to bring shared prosperity," he explained.

Meanwhile, the supervisor of the TWC Service Cooperative, Febrina Intan, is optimistic about the development of the cooperative's performance, along with the increasing development of TWC's business in the future. Through InJourney Destination Management, the management projection heritage sites others in Indonesia are more open to corporate business development.

"Our playground is no longer Yogyakarta and its surroundings, but Nusantara. That is the spirit of InJourney Destination Management. I believe that with the development of TWC's business, our cooperative friends will also develop better. If the cooperative develops, then welfare will be even better," he concluded.
