Why Indonesia Matters

Indonesia’s B2B travel sector is on track for strong, sustained growth, underpinned by government initiatives and a resurgent global tourism market. By 2028, international arrivals are projected to reach 24.5 million, with travel receipts expected to hit $15.9 billion. The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy’s 2024–2025 policy priorities focus on accelerating growth, promoting sustainable development, and enhancing Indonesia’s position as a regional travel powerhouse.

Growing Investment & Infrastructure

Indonesia’s travel sector is experiencing a strong post-pandemic recovery, with 339 hotels and over 72,500 rooms projected to open by 2025. Major international brands are expanding their footprint, supported by government initiatives focused on “Super-Priority Destinations” to stimulate tourism and investment nationwide. This growth is evident in established hubs like Bali, Jakarta, and Yogyakarta, as well as in emerging secondary and tertiary cities attracting MICE and corporate travelers.

Rich Payment Ecosystem, Evolving Operations

Indonesia’s travel sector benefits from a highly diverse payment ecosystem, featuring widely adopted digital wallets (GoPay, OVO, Dana, LinkAja), traditional bank transfers, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) solutions and QR code payments. This rich variety of payment methods creates opportunities for streamlined integration and unified processing systems.

Leveraging Digital Transformation

Indonesia’s comprehensive digital initiatives, including programs like "Travel 4.0" and investments in 5G infrastructure, lay a strong foundation for modernization. Enhanced digital infrastructure supports advanced payment systems, improved data management, and better connectivity. These advancements enable the sector to address operational inefficiencies, offer personalized services, and strengthen competitive positioning.
