Indonesia is actively working to reinforce its tourism sector, setting ambitious goals for this year and beyond and the Ministries of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and the Ministry of Tourism have agreed to collaborate to empower small businesses, enhance tourism and spur job creation.
The Ministries signed a memorandum of understanding to synchronize to tourism policies and support for MSMEs, and this inter - ministerial collaboration also aims to prepare a roadmap linked to the national tourism development with the objective to increase the competitiveness of entrepreneurs.
The memorandum aims to optimize the enormous potential Indonesia offering, where local economies can benefit from the increased demand for goods and services linked to the tourism sector.
This initiative aligns with the country’s long - term strategy to make the tourism sector a central part of its economic diversification. By focusing on the integration of tourism and MSMEs, the government aims to create a holistic approach to development that ensures sustainability.
Tourism - related businesses are seen as key to empowering communities, fostering cultural exchange, and encouraging foreign investment.
The head of MSMEs, Maman Abdurrahman, highlighted the potential of the tourism sector as an engine of growth for small and medium – sized enterprises, and he pointed out that all the Indonesian regions have attractions that can be used for economic development, which justifies a multiplier effect in the creation of jobs and the revitalization of regional economies.
MSMEs Minister emphasized that such collaboration between ministeries and agencies is crucial for the success of the tourism and MSMEs sectors, ensuring a coordinated approach that maximizes both local economic growth and the competitiveness of Indonesian businesses in the global tourism market.
The official was optimistic and projected that tourism will generate around 25.6 million jobs through the opportunities by the more 6.000 tourist villages distributed in Indonesia.
The Minister highlighted that the the development of MSMEs in the tourism villages will be a priority for the government in 2026, which plans to ensure economic growth through the local entrepreneurs and businesses. By leveraging the tourism influx in these villages aims to spur job creation, promote local craftmanship, and support cultural heritage through sustainable business practises.
