JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno will provide holiday packages around super priority destinations for badminton athletes Greysia Polii and Apriyani Rahayu. This holiday package is a form of government appreciation to Grace and Apri for bringing home a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

As is known, the women's doubles badminton pair Greysia Polii and Apriyani Rahayu today managed to bring home the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, after defeating the women's doubles pair from China Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Pan.

"We will give gifts to Greysia and Apriyani for visits to five super priority destinations. Coincidentally, this April was born in Southeast Sulawesi, maybe we will add one, Wakatobi. So that Apri can participate in developing its tourist destinations," he said in a weekly press briefing, Monday, August 2 .

Sandiaga hopes that the prize will also be a way for the two athletes who have made the country proud to participate in developing super priority tourist destinations in the country.

"So we will invite them in 6 locations, of course, as a reward for their victory at the Olympics, which we are very proud of," he said.

Furthermore, Sandi emphasized that bonuses for outstanding athletes will still be given even though the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy's budget is currently limited.

Not only the government, Influencer and YouTuber Arief Muhammad will also give gifts to Greysia/Apriyani in the form of two branches of their culinary business.

"As an appreciation for this achievement, and as an encouragement for both of them, I promise to give 2 branches of @basoaciakang for them, 1 new branch each, if later they can win in the final match," said Arief Muhammad as quoted from Instagram @ ariefmuhammad.

After Geysia/Apriyani was confirmed to get a gold medal, Arief Muhammad took to Instagram again to fulfill his promise.

"FINALLY!!! Very proud of @greyspolii and @r.apriyanig!!! Thank you for bringing home the gold medal for Indonesia. As promised, the @basoaciakang branch for you is waiting in Indonesia. Each of you gets one!," wrote he.
