JAKARTA - Coinciding with the World Tourism Day commemoration, this momentum encourages the tourism ecosystem to be more adaptive, relevant, and have an impact on partners and local communities. This momentum is also an important opportunity to encourage domestic tourism growth which continues to be of interest to the people of Indonesia, in line with the Traveloka report entitled Travel Redefined: Understanding and Catering to the Diverse Needs of APAC Travelers which reveals that 70 percent of Indonesian tourists choose domestic vacations because of their comfort and affordability
The increase in domestic tourism is also reflected in data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) which recorded tourist visits in the archipelago in June 2025 rose 25.93 percent (year-on-year) or reached 105.12 million trips, confirming that domestic tourism remains the backbone of Indonesia's tourism sector growth.
