The department name changes to Department of Tourism, Art and Culture (Indonesian: Departemen Pariwisata, Seni, dan Budaya) under the Seventh Development Cabinet by transferring the Posts and Telecommunications responsibility to Department of Transportation. It became the State Ministry of Tourism and Art (Indonesian: Menteri Negara Pariwisata dan Kesenian) and changes to become Department of Tourism and Culture (Indonesian: Departemen Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata) on Gus Dur's National Unity Cabinet. It became the State Ministry of Culture and Tourism during Megawati's presidency (Mutual Assistance Cabinet) and changed name again to become Ministry of Culture and Tourism during the first term of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's presidency (United Indonesia Cabinet). It changed into Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy during the second term (Second United Indonesia Cabinet) of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono presidency as the cultural responsibilities were transferred into Ministry of Education and Culture.

In 2014, the ministry name changes to become the Ministry of Tourism after President Joko Widodo announce the cabinet line up.[3] Joko Widodo plan to spin off the Directorate General of Creative Economy into a new separate organisation which will be named Creative Economy Agency (Indonesian: Badan Ekonomi Kreatif).[4] However, the decision later reversed by Joko Widodo in his second administration.
