The synergy is being carried out through the development of 3As (attractions, accessibility, amenities), human resources, industry and investment, as well as promotion development, product development, creative economy product development, and events.
"This is a colossal synergy between ministries and agencies," he said at the “Weekly Brief with Sandi Uno,” according to an official statement released here on Wednesday.
The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is collaborating with other ministries and agencies, for example, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, for the construction of road infrastructure, arrangements of areas, provision of clean water and sanitation, and the construction of tourist accommodations.
The ministry is also collaborating with the Transportation Ministry for the improvement of land connectivity and with other stakeholders from the central and regional governments to encourage investment in the construction of infrastructure from state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and the private sector.
Deputy for destination and infrastructure development at the ministry Vinsesius Jemadu said that the development of the five DSPs and eight tourism SEZs has shown significant progress.
"Regarding the development of eight tourism SEZs, we are grateful that most of them have shown significant progress because there are still several SEZs that still need special attention to push the investment," he said.
Jemadu expressed gratitude for the contribution of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing to infrastructure development.
President director of the Lake Toba Authority Board Jimmy Bernando Panjaitan said that the Lake Toba DSP in North Sumatra has seen positive developments in the 3A aspect.
Meanwhile, director for destinations at the Borobudur Authority Board Agustin Peranginangin said that there has been positive growth in the Borobudur DSP area for welcoming the Christmas and New Year holidays, namely an increase in flights and 20 tourism villages that are ready for tourists.
