JAKARTA - GoPay collaborates with the West Kalimantan Indonesian Tourist Association (HPI) to bring new innovations to the tourism sector where tourists can now give tips in the form of service money to tour guides, who are responsible for guiding tourists during the trip, digitally through QRIS from the GoPay Merchant application.
This collaboration responds to the increasing trend of using QRIS in West Kalimantan, from retail and SMEs to tourism, in line with the 5.59 percent (yoy) economic growth in the second quarter of 2025 and the increasing convenience of local and foreign communities and tourists to use non-cash payments, including when giving tips.
Head of GoPay Merchants, Haryanto Tanjo said this collaboration is part of GoPay's long-term commitment to support the creation of financial inclusion in line with the Bank Indonesia's mission.
"Access to financial services must be inclusive for all, including daily workers such as tour guides. With QRIS from GoPay Merchant, they can more easily receive tips, so that they feel the direct benefits of an inclusive digital payment ecosystem," he said in a written statement, Saturday, April 4.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the West Kalimantan HPI DPD Fahroolyadi, SE said that this collaboration has brought a real impact for the tourist guides.
"Before using GoPay Merchant, payment was often only received within 24 hours, with a complicated disbursement process. For me who is used to serving Malaysian tourists who visit West Kalimantan, this is certainly a constraint. Since using QRIS from the GoPay Merchant application, all of these obstacles have been overcome. The payment process is now quite easy to scan the QRIS, it's easier and the money can be received immediately," he explained.
In addition to making it easier, the GoPay Merchant application also helps tour guides manage their income neatly and structured. The registration process for the GoPay Merchant application is also easy, so that technology can also improve the professionalism of services to tourists.
Through this collaboration, GoPay and HPI West Kalimantan hope to encourage the creation of digital transformation in the tourism sector, creating an inclusive, modern ecosystem, and still providing a meaningful experience for tourists.
