Sandiaga said, in the fourth quarter of 2022, Bali's economic growth is projected to continue towards a strong recovery due to the G20 Summit.

"We hope that the G20 Summit will be the peak of Bali's economic growth along with the year-end holiday period which will revive the economy and create quality jobs in Bali," he said.

The implementation of the G20 Bali Summit, said Sandiaga, also encouraged an increase in the number of international flights from and outside Bali.

"The frequency of international flights to Bali and other destinations to Indonesia will also increase," he said.

He also said that in an effort to increase the country's tourism sector after the G20 Summit, his party would try to increase the number of international flights to Indonesia.

The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy will also carry out various promotional efforts, digitization, and prepare various new tour packages for domestic and foreign tourists. One of them is a cruise tour package or sea cruise.

"We will combine various destinations in Bali and others with cruise packages," he added.
