JAKARTA - The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) noted that investment realization for the hotel and restaurant sector has increased significantly in the first quarter of 2023.

Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno said the realization of investment for the sector reached more than IDR 500 million in the first quarter of this year.

"Based on the release, we can record that the realization of hotel and restaurant investments in the first quarter of 2023 has reached Rp550.64 million US dollars," Sandiaga said at the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy Building, on Monday, May 8.

He said the figure had increased significantly compared to the same period in 2022.

"This is up 9.31 percent, meaning there will be an additional number of jobs and hopefully this investment will continue to increase," said Sandiaga.

Related to this, Sandiaga is very grateful that Indonesian tourism is again the prima donna of the world. This is because the creative economy (ekraf) target in the first quarter of 2023 has shown excellent results.

"Of course, this plan must be balanced with realization. We believe that the success of the Indonesian parekraf is the result of preparing for hard work and learning from failure," he concluded.
