“Indonesia now ranks at number 32, up by 12 spots, among 117 countries worldwide. We managed to climb 12 spots amid the Covid-19 pandemic," Sandiaga said on May 30.
Sandiaga said that in the Asia Pacific, Indonesia's domestic tourism sector is among the top 10, at the 8th position.

Looking ahead, Sandiaga said his ministry will continue to improve the performances of the tourism and creative economy sectors by studying or evaluating the indicators that trigger economic revival in the tourism sector.
