Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno stated that the G20 Summit on November 15-16, 2022 increased hotel occupancy in the Nusa Dua area, Bali, to 70 percent.

"We predict that by the end of 2022 the hotel occupancy rate in Bali will remain high, especially entering the Nataru holiday period (Christmas and New Year) which we rely on are Indonesian tourists and foreign tourists who are increasing, which on average (the arrival rate) reaches 24 thousand per day," he said in the Weekly Brief with Sandi Uno, in an official statement quoted by Antara, Tuesday, November 22.

According to him, the G20 Summit is a proud economic revival momentum for the Indonesian nation. Apart from natural beauty, natural resource wealth, and hospitality, Indonesia's leadership on a global scale also deserves to be taken into account thanks to the G20 Summit.

The momentum of Indonesia's presidency in the G20 Summit is expected to have a positive impact on tourism development that is inclusive, resilient, and sustainable, especially for the tourism sector and the creative economy in Bali.

"The contribution of the G20 Summit to the national economy is estimated at 533 million US dollars or Rp7.4 trillion and absorbs more than 33 thousand new jobs," said Sandiaga.

Therefore, he thanked all parties who participated in the success of the G20 Summit in Bali.

"I thank all those who have made the best contribution to Indonesia as a nation that is very much taken into account and able to score an achievement as a successful host for the G20 Summit," said the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.

On that occasion, he also responded to comments from netizens from England who did not know the Balinese endek cloth worn by the leaders of G20 member countries in the gala dinner some time ago.

According to Sandiaga, this needs to be responded to by increasing education and promotion to the public at the international level, especially regarding Indonesian wastra.

"We need to respond to the ignorance of international netizens who will be Indonesian wastra and we can use this opportunity to promote (Indonesian tourists)," he said.
