JAKARTA - The tourism sector needs to implement innovation, adaptation, and collaboration in order to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The three important keys have been implemented by the Ministry of Tourism in several tourist destination areas.

For example, for innovation. Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Uno said that the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is developing five Indonesian super-priority tourism destinations, namely Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Borobudur Temple in Central Java, Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara, Labuan Bajo in East Nusa Tenggara. , and Likupanhg in North Sulawesi.

"This is the focus of how we will make it better, it will even exceed Bali and Jakarta," said Sandiaga at the G20 Indonesia Side Event, quoted by Antara, Monday, February 14.

Thus, the five super priority tourism destinations are expected to implement the CHSE protocol or cleanliness, health, safety, and environment sustainability.

Through the innovation of tourist destinations, employment in the economic sector is expected to continue to increase and even increase foreign capital entering the country.

Meanwhile, he assessed that the adaptation of tourist destinations will be carried out as part of the new normal era and for sustainable recovery.

"This adaptation can be in the form of one of them, namely digital payments when transacting at various tourist attractions," he said.

Sandiaga continued that another important key to the recovery of the tourism sector is the collaboration that will be carried out with local governments, the private sector, institutions, communities, and the media. In addition, collaboration with the international community is also needed, such as through increasing cooperation in the travel bubble.
