Privy and Pondok Indah Golf collaborate to support Road to World Tourism Day 2024
Wednesday is here and we would like to welcome you back to another week with Privy Presents, a newsletter specifically curated by the Privy team to discuss digital identity and other closely related topics, delivered to you every Wednesday.?
In a spectacular confluence of sport, business, and global tourism advocacy, Privy, Indonesia’s 1st and leading digital signature and digital identity platform, teamed up with Pondok Indah Golf and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to host a remarkable golf tournament on 29th – 30th June, 2024 in SouthLinks Country Club, Batam. This collaborative event entitled The Batam Golf Challenge is a part of the Road to World Tourism Day 2024 that aims to bolster the Batam tourism sector while highlighting the importance of secure digital transactions in the modern world.?
This golf tournament combines the sports experience with Privy’s digital innovations such as digital identity to provide the best golf experience. Starting from verified registration to integration with the live golf scoring system in real-time.?
Combining digitization in sports?
We all know that in a modern era like today, digitization has been an important part of our lives and in the field of sports, it is not an exception. By combining digital innovation and sports, it is proving to be a game-changer, offering a multitude of benefits that streamline processes, enhance security, and foster a more connected golfing community.?
One of the primary advantages of digital identity in golf is the simplification of player registration and verification processes. Conventionally, registering for tournaments and verifying player identities involved a significant amount of paperwork and manual checks. Digital identity solutions enable golfers to register online quickly and securely, using digital signatures and verified profiles. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors and fraud.?
Digital identity will ensure that only eligible players can participate, maintaining the integrity of the competition. Furthermore, digital identities can store a player’s handicap, membership details, and past performance records, making it easier for organizers to manage entries and for players to update their information seamlessly. Moreover, digital signatures in golf activities facilitate live scoring, allowing the referee, players, caddy, and flight mates to sign scores digitally.?
On another occasion related to this, Andreas Tjahjadi, the Tournament Director of this golf event expressed his excitement over the combination of both sports and digital innovation?
“During this activity, all participants experienced digital use from registration to scoring. This is a new era, in the future tourism will also go digital directly. Digitalization is part of improving and generating better Indonesian tourism.”?
