Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Uno revealed, there was a 20 percent cut in the ministry's budget which was led in 2023. The total reached IDR 3.38 trillion. Sandiaga is relaxed because this cut does not interfere with the set target. "The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy gets a mindful budget, minus twenty percent," he said at the Indonesia Tourism Outlook 2023 which was held in Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, January 18. However, Sandi believes this will not interfere with the achievement target in 2023. To achieve the target of the movement of Nusantara tourists of 1.4 billion by 2023, his party encourages the proposal for a realized National Confining Day (Harpitnas). "That's why I said the raids, the tight day must be pushed to be a long weekend and Alhamdulillah, the Chinese New Year has been approved into a joint holiday," he said. President Jokowi, he continued, has agreed that in the upcoming Chinese New Year there will be a long weekend holiday, so that tourism foreign exchange with quality and sustainable tourists, the duration of living in tourist destinations can be longer. "And most importantly millions of jobs lost during the current pandemic we can add, last year 3.7 million new jobs were of high quality so that the total Indonesian people who depend on the tourism sector around 45 million and God willing, in 2024, as many as 4.4 million new jobs can be created," he said. In terms of promotion to help encourage the achievement targets set, Sandi revealed that there will be collaboration with the Tourism and Creative Economy Journalists Forum (Forwaaparekraf) to socialize, as well as relevant stakeholders are expected to be able to see opportunities for production, promotion within the framework of collaboration.
