Indonesian term (edited):
Pegawai Negeri Sipil
Civil Employee
I kind of mind with Civil Servants, although it's very noble to me, because here in Our Country, (this is a pity) most of us do not aware if they're work for government it means that they are servants of the people. Well, i don't know about others translator /linguist, my team always use Civil Employee but often to use Civil Officer, does it mean more dignity in those words? it's up to you.

Regular Tour & Travel
In Indonesian language, "langganan" has some meanings:
1. Subscriber
2. Subscribe/subscription
3. Regular
Depending on the context, the word "langganan" in no. 8 might mean either "subscriber", subscribe", or "subscription". If you give a sample of its usage, it will be helpful to decide which meaning fits your context.
Meanwhile, the word "langganan" in no. 10 has a different equivalent due to the phrase structure. I would translate "Tour & Travel Langganan" into "Regular Tour & Travel" since the word "langganan" is a modifier there. If the phrase is "Langganan Tour & Travel", it might be translated as "Tour & Travel Subscription".
