The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism (MoT) is working to reform the local travel and tourism industry to enable a five per cent contribution to the national GDP by 2029. Key strategies will focus on attracting high-spending travellers and developing high-value tourism products.
Speaking at the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (IHRA) national conference, Rizki Handayani, MoT’s deputy for industry and investment, highlighted the government’s efforts to make tourism a priority sector.
“The national government is restructuring all sectors, including tourism, to drive economic growth. Our goal is to position tourism as a leading contributor to the national economy,” she said.
To boost visitor spending and revenue, MoT is focusing on travellers that seek premium experiences.
