Komisi VII DPR RI recently expressed their support for the proposal to allocate additional budget for the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenpar). The commission believes that investing in the tourism sector is crucial for boosting the country’s economy and creating more job opportunities.
The proposal for additional budget comes at a time when the tourism industry has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The sector has seen a significant decline in tourist arrivals and revenue, leading to the closure of many businesses and the loss of jobs for thousands of workers.
In light of these challenges, Komisi VII DPR RI believes that providing additional funding to Kemenpar is necessary to help revive the tourism industry and support the recovery of the economy. The commission recognizes the importance of the tourism sector as a key driver of economic growth and a major source of revenue for the country.
Furthermore, Komisi VII DPR RI emphasizes the need for effective and efficient utilization of the additional budget to ensure that it has a meaningful impact on the tourism industry. They stress the importance of transparency and accountability in the management of funds to prevent any misuse or mismanagement.
The commission also calls for close cooperation between the government, private sector, and other stakeholders in the tourism industry to work together towards the common goal of revitalizing the sector. They believe that by working together, the tourism industry can bounce back stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Overall, Komisi VII DPR RI’s support for the proposal to allocate additional budget for Kemenpar is a positive step towards rejuvenating the tourism industry and driving economic recovery in Indonesia. With the right investments and strategies in place, the country’s tourism sector has the potential to bounce back and thrive once again.
