In Indonesia, the creative economy covers 16 different creative sub-sectors. Moreover, the creative economy in Indonesia has the highest contribution to Indonesia's GDP. In simple words, I can say that the creative economy is the rescuer of our economics. With a bunch of creative communities in Indonesia and also supported by the governance organization, BEKRAF, it will help Indonesia to grow its creative economy to become broader and will produce higher the state's revenue. Building and implementing the concept of creative economies in a country is definitely not an easy thing, otherwise building creative economies will also help us to create a sustainable development business.
Basically, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations includes the ten countries, such as Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. One of the ASEAN Countries that I will be comparing is Singapore. In fact, Singapore is a small country. But, the creativity of its country is absolutely impressive and cool. Every year, tourists from overseas come to Singapore just to enjoy the country itself and the entertainment. Since the pandemic hits in almost every country in the world, everything has slowly altered to become digital. Many of us are sometimes looking for the values or the experiences whenever we see things. However, Indonesia is also taking a big step in the creative economy and also not inferior to any other ASEAN countries as well. Some of the examples are Bandung as a creative city and the ArtJog Vision. Besides, it also needs some marketing strategy from us to help our creative products become more known by more peoples.
Taking a closer look at our own pleasing country, Indonesia, I am really sure if the communities and the government are working together in-sync to create a creative economy for sustainable business, it will generate a satisfying and good result. In addition, Indonesia is rich with its culture and also the government has already provided a lot of the needed things. As a youngster, we could take that advantage and hone our skills to create a creative and sustainable business idea.
