The Ministry of Tourism (Indonesian: Kementerian Pariwisata) (abbreviated as Kemenpar) is a ministry of the Indonesian government concerned with the administration of tourism. Its name and scope have changed numerous times since its inception until the present day. In the 1990s, tourism was overseen by the Department of Tourism, Posts, and Telecommunications (Indonesian: Departemen Pariwisata, Pos dan Telekomunikasi) In 1998, during the short-lived Seventh Development Cabinet, the ministry was split into the Department of Tourism, Art, and Culture (Indonesian: Departemen Pariwisata, Seni, dan Budaya) and the Department of Transportation (Indonesian: Departemen Perhubungan), which subsumed the posts and telecommunications portfolios. It became the State Ministry of Tourism and Art (Indonesian: Menteri Negara Pariwisata dan Kesenian) and eventually the Department of Tourism and Culture (Indonesian: Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata) during Gus Dur's National Unity Cabinet (1999–2001). The department's name changed once more, to the State Ministry of Culture and Tourism, during Megawati's presidency (2001–2004), and again to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, during the first term of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's presidency (2004–2009). During his second term (2009–2014), it became the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, and cultural responsibilities were transferred to the Ministry of Education and Culture.
