Tourism is one of the most important sectors in Indonesia. However, since the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism industries has declined significantly. Restrictions on mobility and activities in public places affect the tourism sector. One of them can be seen from the hotel room occupancy rate (ROR). ROR in Indonesia experienced a significant decline in mid-2020, since the spread of COVID-19 was confirmed in Indonesia. Until the end of 2020, Indonesia’s ROR seems to have increased, but still cannot fully recover as before the pandemic. It’s been a year since the first COVID-19 case in Indonesia. Various policies have been implemented by the central and regional governments in dealing with this pandemic. To find out how much ROR has improved in 2021, this paper discusses the analysis of national and provinces level ROR in January 2020-June 2021 from BPS survey and big data. These two data are compared to see how well the ROR generated by big data represents the official ROR from the BPS survey. The result from big data analysis show that majority of provinces have not experienced significant ROR improvements in 2021. The result is in line with ROR from the BPS survey, as well as the demand pattern shown from the google trends data.

Sandiaga: Indonesia's ranking up 12 places in Global Tourism Index

This article has been translated by PwC Indonesia as part of our Indonesia Infrastructure News Service. PwC Indonesia has not checked the accuracy of, and accepts no responsibility for the content.

Investor Daily - Sandiaga: Indonesia naik 12 peringkat di Indeks Pariwisata Global

31 May 2022

Jakarta – Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno stated that Indonesia is ranked 32nd, which is up 12 places out of the 117 countries in the 2021 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI). This is based on the data issued by World Economy Forum in May 2022.

“We achieved the 12-rank increase despite facing the Covid-19 pandemic and many other problems,” Sandiaga said during the Weekly Press Briefing that was held virtually on Monday (30/5/2022).

In Asia Pacific, he continued that Indonesia’s tourism sector successfully entered the top 10 at rank 8. Moreover, in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is said to be at a very prestigious position as it has successfully surpassed its neighbouring countries, such as Thailand and Malaysia.

“Asia Pacific is an area with the second highest tourism sector performance in the world, and Indonesia is at a position that can be categorised as extraordinary,” Sandiaga revealed.

Furthermore, he said that this information has been reported to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who then ordered himself to announce Indonesia’s rank increase in the TTCI to the public.

“Amid the pandemic and hardships that we are facing as well as the continuously decreasing budget, we confidently and significantly increased our index by 12 ranks,” the Tourism and Creative Economy Minister said as quoted by Antara.

The rank increase is reckoned to improve Indonesia’s reputation in the eyes of the world, so investors are expected to invest in the tourism sector, especially in the five super-priority destinations.

The five super-priority destinations are Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Borobudur in Central Java, Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Labuan Bajo in East Nusa Tenggara, and Likupang in North Sulawesi.

Currently, his agency is learning the 112 indicators of the 2021 TTCI by involving ministries/institutions and regional governments to increase Indonesia’s rank in the global tourism index in the coming years.

“We will publish the Indonesian version, which is Travel and Tourism Index Indonesia, to reignite the spirit of our friends in provinces, regencies, cities, as well as tourism villages,” Sandiaga stated.

Technology can bring more tourists back to Indonesia – but first we need a map to guide us

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world and has been devastating for human life. Global tourism collapsed as tourist arrivals decreased by 71% in 2021 .

That has had a significant impact in countries like Indonesia, where tourism was booming pre-pandemic : tourism generated Rp536.8 trillion in 2017 , or 4.1% of Indonesia’s total gross domestic product, with 12.7 million jobs in the industry.

However, digital technology adoption has been an unexpected silver lining of the pandemic, emerging as a tool that can help accelerate tourism recovery worldwide. It shifts tourist preferences and priorities towards digital travel. It also presents new business opportunities in offering more relevant online experiences.

More tourism activities now offer hybrid events, particularly for music festivals, concerts and business meetings. Virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR) provide a new travel experience, and have been adopted by hotels, destinations and online travel marketplaces all over the globe.

There is, however, a challenge in technology adoption to support tourism in Indonesia: its comparatively low information and communication technology (ICT) readiness.

According to a May 2022 World Economic Forum report, Indonesia was ranked 68th in 2020 in its ICT readiness. This ranking was based on the expansion of individual internet usage and 3G mobile broadband network coverage in each country.

While Indonesia’s ranking had slightly increased from 70th in 2019, it was behind Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The use of digital platforms for financial services, transportation and shipping and leisure activities in Indonesia are slow, and should be a subject for improvement.

From dreaming to sharing, tech can help tourists

One study emphasises how technology needs to be a catalyst to create meaningful tourism experiences.

The tourist experience is the backbone of business success, as it drives people to make travel decisions.

The key to enhancing this experience is understanding how tourists make travel decisions through different travel stages: from dreaming, planning, booking, and experiencing, to sharing.

Using technology to improve the tourism experience throughout all travel stages is critical. Technology helps connect tourism supply and demand, creating physical and virtual experiences. It enables tourism providers to maintain competitiveness in the market. Tourists also use technology to plan their trips, experience destinations and reflect on their travels to obtain satisfaction.

Several technologies that shape the tourism experience include Big Data , cloud computing , VR/AR, blockchain, artificial intelligence, social media, gamification and the internet of things .

For example, the Skyscanner chatbot on Facebook or Whatsapp assists with travelling needs, from digging out information to offering fast responses during the booking process. In another example, Iceland has upgraded Keflavik Airport’s automated baggage tracking system to alert travellers when their baggage is nearby.

Advanced technology creates value throughout tourism experiences by providing choices and convenience, flexibility, safety, fun and enjoyment, and real-time, reliable information. As a result, tourists have more options and flexibility in every stage of their travel journey: from acquiring information, planning an e-itinerary, booking and purchasing flights or hotels online, to sharing their experiences.

Opportunities and challenges for Indonesia

Indonesia has a large population, growing mobile internet penetration and a vibrant start-up ecosystem, with the most growth recorded in e-commerce and online transportation. All of those factors demonstrate Indonesia’s potential for adopting advanced technology.

But Indonesia must also catch up to other countries in capturing its digital potential. The inequality of ICT infrastructure between regions and income classes has become the main barrier to the accessibility of good quality internet.

Moreover, digital literacy – especially on safety – is low and needs improvement .

A World Bank report shows digital payment adoption is relatively low, with 50% of Indonesian online buyers preferring to pay cash on delivery.

The lack of awareness, knowledge and trust, regulation and appropriate infrastructure curb e-commerce growth in Indonesia.

Such conditions could hinder the success of the Indonesian tourism industry, as it needs to maintain competitiveness amid growing digital demands. Without advanced technology, the tourism industry will not thrive in the ever-changing global market.

A map for the future

The Indonesian government needs a map to design digital strategies that match with tourists’ expectations and needs. The map would present tourists’ experiences, including their interactions with the most relevant digital touchpoint in every travel stage (from dreaming to sharing).

Such a map could address digital tourism challenges, and help the tourism industry offer a frictionless, seamless, and better-quality tourism experience.

The map could also raise awareness among tourism stakeholders about the current digital technology in Indonesia and tourism in particular.

Areas that the Indonesian government could focus on to provide the best digital services include:

• improving digital government services in the tourism sector
• utilising digital strategies for promoting tourism
• adopting data integration and interoperability in the tourism sector
• investing in digital literacy for tourism industry workers
• more research and development for technology adoption in the tourism sector
• enhancing digital services for businesses, and
• simplifying, updating and revising policies and regulations related to digitalisation in the tourism sector.

Implementing the action plans above could accelerate digital transformation in Indonesia’s tourism industry. In doing so, it would increase the quality of tourism services on offer for people interested in visiting Indonesia.

Indonesia evacuating thousands after volcano erupts, as tsunami fear looms

Indonesian rescuers have raced to evacuate thousands of people after a volcano erupted five times, forcing authorities to close a nearby airport and issue a warning that the crater collapsing into the sea could cause a tsunami.

Mount Ruang's crater flamed with lava against a backdrop of lightning bolts overnight after eruptions pushed an ash column more than a mile into the sky and forced authorities to raise their alert to the highest level of a four-tiered system.

Taka, a local fisherman who only gave one name, was at sea helping people to safety by boat when the crater unleashed a fiery orange column.

"There was a mix of fire and rocks. Lava flowed in various directions," he told AFP.

The volcano sits on a remote island in Indonesia's outermost region and has a peak 725 metres above sea level. It was still billowing a column of smoke up to 800 metres high on Thursday morning, officials said.

Houses on Tagulandang, another remote island nearby, were riddled with holes from falling volcanic rocks on Thursday, rescuers said, and residents were preparing to leave at least temporarily.

"The road condition … is covered by volcanic material," rescuer Ikram Al Ulah told AFP by phone from the Tagulandang seaport.

"Many people are still wandering around. Maybe to evacuate precious goods from their house."

There were no reports of deaths or injuries but authorities said they were rushing to evacuate more than 11,000 residents from the area around Tagulandang, which is home to about 20,000 people.

Residents and tourists evacuated 

Tourists and residents were warned to remain outside a 6 kilometre exclusion zone.

Some residents were already trying to flee in a panic, according to officials.

"People evacuated on their own … due to the volcano's eruption and small rocks that fell," local search and rescue agency official Jandry Paendong said in a statement on Thursday.

"The people scattered to find evacuation routes."

He said 20 staff were helping evacuate residents along the coastline near the volcano on rubber boats.

Authorities also evacuated a prison on Tagulandang, ferrying 17 inmates along with 11 officials and 19 residents by boat to Likupang seaport in northern Sulawesi island, according to rescuer Ikram Al Ulah.

More than 800 people were initially taken from Ruang to Tagulandang after the first eruptions overnight Tuesday, before further eruptions on Wednesday prompted evacuations from that wider zone.

Those displaced gathered at temporary shelters on Tagulandang and were given mats, blankets and masks by authorities.

The navy sent a warship to deliver aid and help the evacuation effort, it said on Thursday, while North Sulawesi police sent dozens of officers.

The warship evacuated 195 people from Tagulandang to Bitung, a coastal city in North Sulawesi, on Thursday evening, a navy spokesperson told AFP.

Tsunami warning

Authorities also warned of a possible tsunami as a result of the eruptions.

"The communities in Tagulandang island [need] to be on alert for … [a] tsunami caused by the collapse of the volcano's body into the sea," volcanology agency head Hendra Gunawan said in a statement on Wednesday.

The authorities' fears were compounded by previous experience.

The crater of Mount Anak Krakatoa between Java and Sumatra islands partly collapsed in 2018 when a major eruption sent huge chunks of the volcano sliding into the ocean, triggering a tsunami that killed more than 400 people and injured thousands.

Indonesia, a vast archipelago nation, experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to its position on the Pacific "Ring of Fire".

Mount Ruang's eruption led to the closure of Sam Ratulangi International Airport in Manado city, located more than 100 kilometres from the volcano, until midnight Thursday.

The airport hosts airlines that fly to Singapore, South Korea and China.

Budget airline AirAsia said it also cancelled flights to and from nine airports in eastern Malaysia and Brunei until Friday morning.

The volcano's last major eruption was in 2002, also requiring the evacuation of residents.

Thousands Evacuated As Major Volcanic Eruption In Indonesia Triggers Tsunami Warning

Indonesian authorities ordered the evacuation of thousands of people on Thursday after the Ruang volcano in the country’s North Sulawesi province erupted multiple times, triggering a tsunami warning and blankets of falling volcanic ash and rocks.

Ruang has erupted at least five times in the previous 24 hours, according to Indonesia’s Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation, which raised its alert level to 4 , the highest stage.

The repeated explosions have raised concerns about a portion of the volcano collapsing into the sea and triggering a tsunami.

Authorities ordered the evacuation of more than 11,000 people from areas surrounding the volcano, including parts of the nearby Tagulandang island, which is home to more than 22,000 people.

Tourists and residents have been asked to remain alert and not enter a 6 km radius around the volcano’s active crater, while at least 800 people located closest to the volcano have already been relocated.

The nearest international airport in the city of Manado has been shut down for 24 hours, as large columns of smoke and ash continued to billow from the volcano.

Concerns about the volcano triggering a tsunami are linked to a major eruption of Ruang in 1871. A partial collapse of the volcano’s lava dome after that eruption led to a tsunami that killed at least 400 and caused major destruction on Tagulandang island. The 2018 eruption of the Anak Krakatoa volcano also led to a partial collapse, triggering a tsunami that killed at least 426 people and injured over 14,000.

Key Background

The Indonesian archipelago is located in a highly active seismic zone known as the Ring of Fire, making it prone to volcanoes and earthquakes. The most recent major volcanic event in the region was the eruption of Mount Marapi in December, which killed 24 people. In 2021, the eruption of Mount Semeru in the East Java province claimed 69 lives and forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 people.

Colliers Quarterly Property Market Report Q1 2024 Bali Hotel

The hotel market is showing a positive upturn characterised by a surge in activity

Evidenced by a notable uptick in tourist arrivals, paralleled by improved hotel performance, Bali is experiencing a resurgence in activity, reasserting its status as a premier tourism destination. Traditionally, in the month of Ramadan, tourist footfall tends to taper off, particularly among local visitors, particularly those travelling in groups or representing corporations.

However, it is anticipated that the number of tourists, especially from the domestic market, will rebound significantly during the Eid holiday and is projected to remain on an upward trajectory until the year-end. Furthermore, Bali is poised to host several large-scale events in the coming months, underscoring the need for proactive preparation to accommodate the influx of guests.
