Jakarta - Pemerintah berharap investor asing dan domestik agar meningkatkan modalnya di industri pariwisata Indonesia. Kuatnya fundamental ekonomi nasional menjadi daya tarik investasi di sektor tersebut.
"Momentum seperti ini semoga bisa mendapatkan sesuatu yang bermanfaat untuk investasi pariwisata dan ekonomi di Indonesia. Untuk energi, teknologi, infrastruktur, dan aspek ekonomi lainnya," kata Deputi bidang Industri dan Perdagangan, Kementerian Koordinator Perekonomian Edy Putra Irawadi, dalam pembukaan diskusi sehari bertajuk ´Indonesia Tourism Investment Day´ di Jakarta, Senin.
Menurut Edy, tren positif ekonomi Indonesia yang ditandai terus meningkatnya produk domestik bruto (PDB) bukan jaminan terus berlangsung dalam jangka panjang.
Menurutnya, untuk memperkuat fundamental ekonomi nasional, sektor pariwisata perlu dikembangkan. "Indonesia harus hati-hati. Tetapi kita optimis, di 2014 akan sedikit lebih baik," katanya.
Dirjen Pengembangan Destinasi Pariwisata Kemenparekraf, Firmansyah, mengatakan saat ini Tanjung Lesung menjadi salah satu tujuan pariwisata baik nasional maupun manca negara. "Potensinya besar, investor bisa memanfaatkan peluang itu."
Destinasi lain yang turut menjadi perhatian dunia pariwisata Indonesia diantaranya adalah Lagoi Bay di Kepulauan Riau, Mandalika di Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), Teluk Mekaki di Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), Danau Toba di Sumatera Utara, Sabang di Aceh, dan destinasi pariwisata lainnya.
Dalam acara Indonesia Tourism Investment Day, turut hadir beberapa investor properti lokal Indonesia asal China, Japan, Korea Selatan, Singapura, Thailand, Inggris dan lainnya.
Jakarta - The government hopes that foreign and domestic investors will increase their capital in the Indonesian Tourism industry. The strong fundamental base of the national economy is an enticement to invest in this sector.
"A momentum such as this is hoped to be able to obtain something beneficial in terms of tourism and economy investments in Indonesia. For energy, technology, infrastructure, and other economic aspects," said Deputy of Industry and Trade, the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Edy Putra Irrawaddy, during the opening of a one day discussion titled ´Indonesia Tourism Investment Day´, in Jakarta, Monday.
According to Edy, a positive trend of the Indonesian economy, characterized by the continued growth of its gross domestic product (PDB) is not a guarantee that it will continue indefinitely.
In his opinion, in order to strengthen the fundamental base of the national economy, the tourism sector needs to be developed. "Indonesia must be careful. But we are optimistic, in 2014 it will be slightly better," he said.
Director General of Tourism Destination Development, The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf), Firmansyah, said that Tanjung Lesung has become a tourist destination national wise as well as International wise. "It has a high potential, investors can take advantage of this opportunity."
Other destinations that have also become a consideration by the Indonesian tourism sector, are Lagoi Bay in the Riau Islands, Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), the Gulf of Mekaki in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Sabang in Aceh, and other tourism destinations.
In the Indonesia Tourism Investment Day event, attended also were a number investors of Indonesian local properties from China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, United Kingdom and others.
