JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno reviewed the implementation of vaccinations for tourism and creative economy actors as well as the community at the COVID-19 vaccination center, MNC Kebon Jeruk Building, West Jakarta.

"This is our step to pursue the percentage of vaccinations for tourism players and the creative economy," said Sandiaga in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Sunday, July 25.

The vaccination center is the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and MNC Peduli and the industry, namely Traveloka, Doctora Clinic, Traveloka, Mister Aladin, and GBI Glow Fellowship Center, as well as the DKI Jakarta Health Office.

The first dose vaccination activity targets 6,000 people, which will take place from 23 to 27 July 2021. Apart from MNC Kebon Jeruk, a similar vaccination center is also taking place at MNC Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta.

Sandiaga expressed his gratitude for the support of many parties in helping the government's efforts to accelerate the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination, especially for tourism and creative economy actors.

According to him, vaccination activities will revive the tourism sector and the creative economy and ensure that the economy is revived by reopening employment opportunities.

The COVID-19 vaccination has become one of the main programs carried out by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in recent times in collaboration with industry. As a result, the number of tourism and creative economy actors who have been vaccinated has moved above 5 percent.

The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy targets a vaccination rate of 95 percent of the 34 million people who depend on the tourism sector and the creative economy.

Sandiaga invites the involvement of more parties, both industry and community leaders, religious leaders, youth leaders, influencers, as well as local governments to actively socialize and invite the public for vaccines.

In addition, he also invited various parties to jointly ensure the fulfillment of social and humanitarian aspects for the affected communities by providing social assistance.

"Together with KAHMIPreneur we have launched several programs, namely scholarship assistance for affected students, especially small traders engaged in the creative economy sector and also assistance for people in need, we open a call center," said Sandiaga.

Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from Electoral District III DKI Jakarta Kamrussamad appreciated the collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in holding vaccination activities in support of game changers in an effort to suppress the spread of COVID-19.

"Today's collaboration is very meaningful to save Indonesia's young generation. We are grateful that there are entrepreneurs who love this country who are willing to be proactive to take a role in saving Indonesia's young generation," said Kamrussamad.
