VIVA – The Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Visit Year 2023-2025 rolled out at the 15th Summit of subregional economic cooperation in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, on Thursday. 

The Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) stated that the pandemic had disrupted the global tourism sector that had reduced the rate of tourism in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand by more than 90 percent. 

"Alhamdulillah, since last year, the tourism sector has started to revive. The movement of international tourists has reached more than 900 million and will certainly continue to grow," President Joko Widodo said. 

The President said that Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand should move quickly to make the most of this opportunity.

He outlined three areas of focus: improving infrastructure, especially connectivity; strengthening innovative branding; and developing digital tourism to improve services.

"Those three issues aim to strengthen a tourism ecosystem that is resilient, inclusive, and sustainable," he informed. 

The IMT-GT is an economic cooperation framework established to improve the welfare and economic growth of people in border areas of the IMT-GT countries.
