In addition, the ministry is targeting 1,279 trillion Rp (82 billion USD) in added value of the gross domestic product (GDP) with exports of 26.46 billion USD next year. Then, the workforce absorbed is targeted to reach 22.4 million in the tourism sector and 22.59 million in the creative economy sector.
