JAKARTA - In order to support tourism development in Jakarta, Bank DKI also cooperates with Tokopedia, one of the e-commerce platforms in Indonesia as the official sales partner of the Jakarta Tourist Pass.

Through this synergy, the Jakarta Tourist Pass can be easily accessible and purchased by the public through the Tokopedia platform, which provides convenience for tourist trips in Jakarta, said President Director of Bank DKI, Agus Haryoto Widodo in a written statement, quoted on Sunday, July 7.

Agus explained that cooperation with Tokopedia is a strategic step in strengthening the digital ecosystem in Jakarta.

"In addition to making it easier for tourists to use public transportation and other tourism services, the Jakarta Tourist Pass is also a joint effort to make Jakarta a modern and integrated global city," said Agus.

On a different occasion, Bank DKI Director of Technology & Operations, Amirul Wicaksono said that the Jakarta Tourist Pass, which is a collaboration product between Bank DKI and the DKI Jakarta Province Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Disparekraf), is designed to make it easier for tourists to access and use various public transportation services in Jakarta in cash less.

"With the Jakarta Tourist Pass, it is hoped that it can encourage the growth of the tourism sector by providing convenience and comfort for tourists," he explained.

Coinciding with this synergy, Bank DKI and Tokopedia issued Jakarta Tourist Pass cards with special design in limited quantities, as well as attractive promos, which can be ordered through the Tokopedia platform during the promo period.

Bank DKI Corporate Secretary, Arie Rinaldi hopes that the Jakarta Tourist Pass can have a positive impact on the tourism sector so as to help economic growth in Jakarta.

"This initiative is also expected to encourage Jakarta to become a more attractive and competitive tourist destination in the international arena," added Arie.

Tokopedia's Senior Vice President of Digital Goods, Rudy Dalimunthe, said that Tokopedia really appreciates Bank DKI for providing us with the opportunity to jointly accelerate payment digitization and create a wider cashless society.

"Through this collaboration, we hope that more people will be able to feel the convenience of digital transactions, especially in transportation and traveling in Jakarta. Tokopedia and Bank DKI collaboration is in line with our commitment to continue to make products that are inclusive, which can make it easier for the wider community to meet their needs in the digital era," added Rudy.

As a city with an economic and cultural center, Jakarta continues to be committed to realizing its vision as a global city. One of the main strategies is through strengthening the Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition (MICE) sector, which is an important focus in efforts to make Jakarta a leading destination for domestic and international tourists.

Through the development of the MICE sector, Jakarta seeks to attract more business visits and international events, so that it can increase regional income and strengthen Jakarta's position in the global arena.
