INDONESIA invites ASEAN countries to strengthen collaboration to realize the region as a center of global economic growth through tourism. ATF as the largest tourism forum in the Southeast Asian region should be a discussion space to reformulate the tourism sector to be more adaptive to current and future situations.
According to Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno at the opening of the ASEAN Tourism Forum 2023 at Prambanan Temple on Friday (3/2) night, ASEAN countries must be able to build tourism destinations based on three main foundations, namely resilience, security, and sustainability.
“This is in line with the theme of this year’s ATF, ‘A Journey to Wonderful Destinations’, which ignites the spirit of tourism recovery. One example is through the planning and implementation of quality national and international scale activities. This requires the involvement of various sectors including the government, private sector, and other parties,” he said.
He explained that we are optimistic that this diversification will not only open up job opportunities but also improve the value-added aspect of our tourism and provide more choices for tourists visiting our region.
The Indonesian government invites ASEAN countries to continue the fruitful regional cooperation and explore better cooperation in the future. Namely in tourism recovery and rebuilding, utilizing digital transformation, and ensuring sustainability issues. [traveltext.id]
