PRESIDENT Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in his State Address at the MPR/DPR Building, Senayan, Jakarta, said I invite all stakeholders in the tourism sector and creative economy to make fundamental changes and improvements in an effort to rise to face the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Now is the right time to do fundamental self-improvement. Including transforming and executing a grand strategy. We must carry out this spirit together by making fundamental changes that can increase our competitiveness in the tourism sector and the creative economy,” President Jokowi said.
President Joko Widodo previously said the COVID-19 pandemic had made all countries experience setbacks. However, this setback can be an opportunity and momentum for us to catch up.
“This is the time for us to improve fundamentally, carry out major transformations, carry out big strategies. Big strategies in the fields of economy, law, government, social, culture, including health and education,” the President noted.
He added that the mindset and work ethic must change. Flexibility, speed and accuracy are needed. Efficiency, collaboration and use of technology must be prioritized. National discipline and national productivity must also be improved.
