JAKARTA - The Indonesian travel industry continues to show an extraordinary post-pandemic growth trend. Based on BPS data, 8.9 million Indonesians traveled abroad in 2024, up 18.99 percent compared to the previous year.

Not only that, digital transformation is also a key factor in the growth of the travel industry in Indonesia. The Deloitte Consulting Southeast Asia report notes that more than 40 percent of travel booking activities are now being carried out online.

However, behind this rapid growth, new challenges arise related to privacy and personal data protection. In the digitalized travel industry ecosystem, the risk of misuse of consumer data is a serious concern.

In responding to this challenge, SPUN (www.spun.global) as an online visa service platform in Indonesia is committed to supporting the protection of personal data in the Indonesian travel industry ecosystem.

Every customer who apply for a visa through SPUN is directed to upload documents in secret only through the SPUN website. Thus, customer data is stored safely thanks to the data security protocol owned by SPUN, such as end-to-end encryption, SSL/TLS certification, and signed URLs.

In addition, SPUN has been officially registered as an Electronic System Operator (PSE) at the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) and has complied with Personal Data Protection Regulations (PDP) since July 2024.

SPUN juga telah meluncurkan SPUN for Business pada Februari 2025 untuk membantu bisnis travel UMKM mengatasi kesulitan dalam menangani pengajuan visa dalam jumlah besar (bulk application), guna mengatasi keterbatan sumber daya dan kurangan pengetaman tentang regulasi visa di berbagai negara.

With its innovation and commitment, SPUN not only provides safe solutions for consumers, but also encourages the creation of a safer and more efficient travel ecosystem for all parties.
