Sapta Nirwanda also apologized on behalf of President Jokowi, who until last night still wanted to attend the GTF but had to go to the APEC Meeting in Bangkok.
The current GTF-AM event is held both online and offline. This year, the event has a new program: business meetings and matching with investors, allowing participants from various parts of the world to act to make money immediately.
Bulut Bagci, President of WTFI, began his remarks by highlighting President Jokowi’s leadership in leading the country and its territory. “I think I am happy because the world recognizes that Indonesia has succeeded in holding the G20,” said Bulut Bagci.

Bagci, who originally came from Turkey, said that in 2015 Turkey also hosted the G-20, and the country has captured 45 million foreign tourists because of the event. He is now confident in convincing various parties to hold Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) activities in Indonesia, especially Bali because the services have proven satisfying.
Meanwhile, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno said that the Global Tourism Forum, which was flooded with CEOs of the World Tourism Industry from various regions and countries, needed to increase cooperation.
“We also believe that the local community will help restore tourism, for example, Panglipuran Village, which claims to be the cleanest tourist village in the world. Also, Nglanggeran Yogya tourist village, which is also the world’s best tourist village,” said Sandiaga Uno.
