In his speech, Sandiaga appreciated the existence of this event with a rhyme and stated, “We (Indonesia) have returned to activities with calibration to increase the quantity and quality of Indonesia’s Tourism and Creative Economy.”

The man who served as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy then revealed that there was a real adaptation and recovery for the tourism sector and the creative economy, “Vaccination and health protocols are the key to recovery for a sector, especially the Tourism and Creative Economy sector. Currently, Indonesia’s population has more than 100 million people who have been vaccinated. Supported by an increase in residential mobility such as schools and offices, as well as recreational areas and retail sales continue to increase even during the PPKM period.”

For Sandiaga, WMF provides broad insights for marketers related to marketing through digitalization. “Special digitization in e-commerce has great potential for businesses. Although, in general, the Creative Economy has experienced a decline due to the pandemic, the estimated distribution of 16 sub-sectors, the majority of which also experienced a decline, includes the exception of the television, radio, application, and game developer sub-sectors. In addition, the proportion of the contribution of the culinary, fashion, and craft sub-sectors did not change significantly.”
