The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf), Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, asked for more sports tourism-based activities or sports tourism to be held in Bali. This can help revive the local community's economy, especially amid a pandemic. “We have just participated in the revival of Bali's tourism and economy. We also contributed to the Governor's Cup Charity Cup activity and saw the enthusiasm of creative and creative actors, which turned out to be 70 percent from outside Bali," said Sandiaga while attending the 2022 Bali Governor's Cup Golf Tournament for Charity in the Nusa Dua area, Badung Regency, quoted by Antara, Sunday,  (16/1/2022). Sandi said the activity was held with the hope that it could be part of the government's alignment so that there would be more sports-based events or sports tourism, especially in the Bali area.

The Bali Provincial Government is also preparing to develop a sprint rally and speed rally circuit on 150-200 hectare land with the management of the Sangiang Plantation Regional Company in Jembrana Regency. The development of sports-based tourism infrastructure in the Jembrana area was carried out because Bali has a blend of beautiful nature and unique cultural wealth, so it is very potential if sports tourism is developed. "Sports tourism is not only presented in Badung but also in Jembrana because we have initiated a circuit that will use our DAK. We will build together in Jembrana Regency and hopefully, this will also be a signal of economic revival," said Sandiaga. He explained that one circuit is projected to absorb around 300 workers. This is of course very much needed during the pandemic to revive the economy to prepare for the G20 Summit. “Besides, I was told that Ocean Man will be held again in June in Sanur, but the most interesting thing is the World Cup For Ocean Open Water Swimming, I was told this is the end of the year, this is world-class and may be present in Bali. So, at the same time as part of the economic revival for Bali along with better pandemic control," said Sandiaga.
