The annual press conference of Inddonesian tourism and creative economy Monday (27/12/21) - 

The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy/Tourism and Creative Economy Agency targets the number of foreign tourist arrivals (tourists) of 1.8 million to 3.6 million. This figure is focused on achieving the concept of quality and sustainable tourism in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic situation. This was conveyed by Menparekraf Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno during the 2021 End of Year Press Conference at the Soesilo Soedarman Hall, Sapta Pesona Building, Jakarta, Monday (27/12/2022)

"The number of foreign tourists has always been the number we are chasing but this time when we look at the figure of 2024 million this year, an estimate of 1.5 million next year, we focus on 1.8 to 3.6 million as quality and sustainable tourism. This domestic tourist, who is the mainstay with a target of 260 - 280 million movements and the added value of the creative economy reaching Rp1,236 trillion, puts us in the third position in the world after America with Hollywood, South Korea with K-Pop and Indonesia is now in third position. This number of tourism workers makes me very optimistic next year that we will be able to target the creation of 400 thousand quality jobs in the tourism sector" Minister said. 

Minister Uno added that the creative economy sector is expected to grow by more than 600 thousand to 700 thousand jobs, which is supported by leading sectors such as Culinary, Craft and Fashion. On the same occasion, the Deputy for Marketing of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy/Baparekraf Nia Niscaya said that the origination of foreign tourists targeted by Indonesia was very dynamic, because it was in accordance with coordination with the Ministry of Health, which had to consider COVID-19 cases in the targeted countries. Indonesia is still top of mind for tourists who want to travel to their homeland. It can be seen from the search volume of tourists on search engines. In addition, in 2022 there will be several International MICE events that will be held in Indonesia such as G20, AVPN, and others //VOI-NK
