JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy/Head of the Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Menparekraf/Kabaparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno admitted that he had deployed a team to provide education as well as communication and socialization to tourists and tourism industry players in foreign tourist main market countries (tourists). This is related to the Criminal Code which some time ago has been ratified, in which there is an article that questions many potential tourists. Especially related to the article of adultery. Sandiaga hopes that with this step tourists and industry players do not hesitate to come to travel also invest in Indonesia. Sandiaga said, this is also an effort to promote Indonesian tourism. "We immediately move, we anticipate. Our team is now in Sydney, Australia, one of which is to ensure and guarantee tourists that they are safe, comfortable, and fun in tourism activities in Indonesia," he said in an official statement, Sunday, December 11.

In addition to deploying teams to market countries, Sandiaga also monitors tourist arrivals at several major tourist entrance airports, namely in Bali and Jakarta. As of Friday, December 9, Sandiaga said, there has been no cancellation which has led to a decrease in the arrival of foreign tourists. "We continue to massively disseminate to prospective tourists who will visit, stating that Indonesia is a red carpet in an open sense. We really appreciate guests and we receive guests," he said. The former Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta said that socialization was also carried out intensively to industry players in the country tourism and other stakeholders. "Including the legal apparatus to convey that Indonesia is safe not only from tourist visits but also in terms of investment. Because more and more foreign tourists have come to Indonesia, our economy is getting better and jobs are increasingly open," he said. Moreover, Sandiaga said, the momentum for the revival of the country tourism sector continues to show positive things. To this day, the target upper limit for foreign tourist visits in 2022 has been reached as much as 3.6 million and is projected to reach 5.2 million foreign tourists by the end of the year.
