“Indonesia has to become the world’s best in digital tourism and village homestays,” Arief said. He added that tourism must become the core of the country’s economy and leading sector

The #Indonesia Tourism Exchange (ITX) platform has been at the forefront of the ministry’s efforts to improve digital tourism. The online marketplace links customers with service providers, such as travel agents and more.

Arief said the ministry’s ambition to transform tourism into the country’s economic core is possible because the industry contributes to gross domestic product, brings in foreign exchange and creates employment.
