This sector has become a backbone in achieving economic goals, as highlighted by data from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf), revealing a significant contribution to the national GDP, reaching IDR 1,134.9 trillion in 2022. The National Creative Economy Movement (Gerakan Ekonomi Kreatif Nasional - Gekrafs) has forged a partnership with Dwidayatour to facilitate accommodation for its members, enabling them to move more freely towards realizing the agenda of Indonesia Emas 2045 (Golden Indonesia). Kawendra Lukistian, Chairman of Gekrafs, emphasized that the creative industry is widespread across Indonesia, with many hidden gems in various regions. He expressed the need to create opportunities for even growth throughout the country, requiring significant efforts. The collaboration with Dwidayatour is seen as an energizing force, making their strides lighter.

This requires considerable effort, and our collaboration with Dwidayatour is felt as an energy that makes us move forward more smoothly." He described this collaboration as highly strategic, foreseeing the creative economy as the future of Indonesia's economy.
Appreciating the partnership, Lukistian urged other major institutions in different industries to play a more significant role in working together to achieve Indonesia Emas 2045. On the other hand, Hendri Yapto, Chief Operations Officer of Dwidayatour, revealed that they are providing travel facilities to ease the movement of Gekrafs and its members in realizing their creative agenda. In summary, the collaboration between Gekrafs and Dwidayatour is viewed as a strategic step towards fostering even growth in the creative industry across Indonesia, contributing to the nation's ambitious economic goals outlined in Indonesia Emas 2045.
