<p class="wp-block-paragraph">JAKARTA, 25 August 2026: Archipelago Hotels continues to expand its presence in Indonesia in line with the country’s tourism growth.&nbsp;From January to June 2026, foreign tourist arrivals reached 7.45 million, a 5.71% increase from the same period the previous year.&nbsp;</p>

</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, the Accommodation and Food &amp; Beverage Service sector recorded a 13.14% growth in the first quarter of 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In response, Archipelago Hotels introduces five properties across Java and Sumatra, comprising two new openings and three rebrandings. The five properties are Aston Cimone Hotel &amp; Convention Centre, Aston Malang Hotel &amp; Conference Centre, Nawana by Alana, fave+ hotel Lampung, and fave+ hotel Pamanukan. This portfolio will cater to various travel needs, including business trips, MICE, family vacations and leisure stays.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The growth of tourism and the accommodation sector is creating greater demand for hotels that offer quality while remaining relevant to the character of each destination. Importantly, the Indonesian traveller is no longer choosing a hotel on price alone. Low price may attract attention, but genuine value comes from the combination of quality, comfort and an experience that feels interesting and distinctive. For Archipelago Hotels, this shift represents both an opportunity and a responsibility: to develop hotels that meet the market’s practical needs while giving guests something memorable enough to choose, enjoy and recommend,” said Archipelago Hotels Chief Executive Officer John Flood.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Archipelago Hotels is the largest privately owned hotel management group in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, operating more than 45,000 rooms across 350 hotels in more than 200 destinations in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Oceania.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Headquartered in Jakarta, the group has a portfolio of 13 brands, including Aston, Alana, Huxley, Park Lane, Kamuela, Avanika, Harper, Quest, Four Corners, Neo, fave, Nordic, and Aston Collection.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SINGAPORE, 11 August 2026: Digital travel platform Agoda revealed that domestic travel interest increased more than fourfold, according to search data for the upcoming Indonesian Independence Day long weekend, taking place from 15 to 17 August, as Indonesian travellers begin to plan their getaways.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While favourites like Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Bali remain the most-searched accommodations, the popularity of nature-oriented regional holiday spots in West Java, such as Pangandaran, Garut, and Anyer, is also rising.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Top 10 domestic destinations for Independence Day long weekend 2026 &#8211; Agoda</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bandung</li>



<li>Yogyakarta</li>



<li>Bali</li>



<li>Jakarta</li>



<li>Puncak</li>



<li>Malang</li>



<li>Pangandaran</li>



<li>Anyer</li>



<li>Bogor</li>



<li>Garut</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda’s search data shows that cultural and leisure hotspots continue to draw the highest interest for one of Indonesia’s most celebrated holidays. Travellers can enjoy not only famous attractions related to nature, culture, and culinary experiences, but also take part in Independence Day-themed activities at these destinations, from visiting museums and monuments to exploring historic sites.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earning the top spot was Bandung, offering a popular short-break destination for those travelling from nearby Jakarta and surrounding areas, with renowned historical landmarks such as Gedung Sate, Monumen Bandung Lautan Api, and Gedung Merdeka.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Yogyakarta, ranking second, makes an ideal destination for cultural heritage, sightseeing, and family-friendly attractions such as Benteng Vredeburg, Istana Kepresidenan Gedung Agung, and Monumen Jogja Kembali.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, as Indonesia’s flagship holiday destination, Bali ranked third, appealing to domestic travellers seeking a beach and resort getaway.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jakarta, ranking fourth, saw nearly a three-fold increase in travel interest as the capital hosts the centre of Indonesia’s Independence Day celebrations. Beyond the festivities, the city continues to attract travellers with its urban attractions, culinary experiences, and staycation options.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nature-led short-drive getaways lead the growth in searches</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda also reports that regional destinations in West Java saw the highest increase in searches during the long holiday weekend. Pangandaran and Anyer saw increases of more than nine- and 10-fold in travel interest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cool-weather escapes draw steady travel interest</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda’s data also reveals that destinations offering cool weather, scenic hillside views, and diverse culinary offerings are also appealing to domestic travellers seeking a quick getaway during the upcoming Independence Day long weekend. Puncak, Malang, and Bogor have seen a four- to five-fold increase in travel interest, offering accessible, family-friendly leisure options. Malang specifically features amusement parks, a zoo, and museums, making it an ideal holiday for all ages.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda Senior Country Director, Indonesia, Gede Gunawan shared: “The fourfold increase in travel interest during this year’s Independence Day holiday shows just how eager Indonesians are to make the most of the long weekend by travelling and making memories with family and friends. While iconic destinations like Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Bali remain enduring favourites, it’s also exciting to see rising travel interest in alternative getaways such as Pangandaran, Garut, and Anyer, as travellers look for destinations that are close to major cities, more affordable, less congested, and rich in different kinds of travel experiences.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, aviation industry veteran Datuk Bernard Francis, commented: “With the launch of this new route to Phuket, TransNusa will offer four international services from Bali to Perth, Australia, Singapore, and Guangzhou in China.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The launch comes amid growing demand for intra-regional travel as more travellers seek unique leisure experiences across Southeast Asia. The route is expected to attract holidaymakers, families, digital nomads and adventure seekers looking to experience the distinct cultures, cuisines and attractions of both destinations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ticket sales for the Denpasar, Bali, to Phuket service opened for bookings on the airline’s website on 3 July, priced at USD167.60 (IDR 2,799,000).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SINGAPORE, 13 July 2026: Digital travel platform Agoda has released the latest insights on travel trends in Indonesia for the first half of 2026, revealing strong momentum for inbound travel interest from travellers across the Asia Pacific region. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Based on accommodation searches made between January and June 2026 compared to 2025, Agoda reports that Malaysia and Singapore rank as Indonesia’s top two contributors to inbound travel interest, dethroning South Korea, which now ranks third. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Australia follows in fourth place, while China emerges as the fastest-growing source market expressing travel interest in Indonesia, entering the top five ranks for the first time and overtaking Japan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Stronger interest in Indonesia&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rising interest in Indonesia reflects shifting travel preferences across the region, with more travellers seeking a broader mix of destinations and experiences. Among Indonesia’s major inbound markets, China recorded the highest year-on-year growth in travel interest at 44%. The momentum is likely to continue throughout 2026, as Indonesia recently announced new flight routes to expand air connectivity between the two markets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda also reports growth in interest from Malaysia and Singapore at 18% and 17%, respectively, underscoring rising interest from Southeast Asian travellers even as appetite softens from some destinations in North Asia, such as Japan and South Korea. The shift in travel preferences is also likely reinforced by the weakening rupiah, which has made Indonesia even more attractive to travellers prioritising value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bali retains top spot for inbound travellers; Sukabumi is a rising star</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda’s data also highlights the destinations attracting the most international travellers to Indonesia, with Bali, Jakarta, Batam Island, Lombok, and Bandung ranking as the top five most-searched destinations. While Bali continues to lead as the country’s most sought-after destination, Jakarta and Batam’s ranking points to growing interest in urban gateways and border-island destinations, alongside established leisure hotspots like Lombok and Bandung.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond the top destinations, Agoda’s data also indicates growing interest in emerging locations across Indonesia. Sukabumi emerged as the fastest-growing destination, with traveller interest rising 4.6x, driven by its lush highlands, waterfalls, and geopark landscapes. In eastern Indonesia, Manado and Gorontalo ranked as the 2nd- and 3rd-fastest-growing destinations, with searches growing by around 3x compared to H1 last year. These destinations attract travellers with their rich marine biodiversity, distinctive local culture, and vibrant culinary offerings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agoda Senior Country Director, Indonesia, Gede Gunawan shared: “Indonesia’s appeal is clearly broadening, especially among travellers from China and Southeast Asia. The strong growth in interest in destinations such as Sukabumi, Manado, and Gorontalo shows that travellers are eager to explore more of what Indonesia has to offer beyond Bali. The combination of affordability, accessibility, and diverse experiences positions Indonesia well for continued growth in travel interest through the rest of 2026. Agoda remains committed to supporting Indonesia’s tourism growth with a seamless platform that makes travel more accessible and easier to plan.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">JAKARTA, 7 July 2026: TransNusa is introducing new routes from Jakarta to Bangkok, Thailand, starting 6 August and connecting Bali to the island destination of Wakatobi during July 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TransNusa becomes the first airline to introduce a new direct route from Bali to Wakatobi, an island that is globally celebrated for hosting the world’s second-largest barrier reef. In 2024, the airline launched a direct route from Bali to the diving haven of Manado. While an exact date for the maiden flight to Wakatobi wasn’t specified in Monday’s announcement, scheduling systems show flights rolling out through July 2026.</p>

TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Bernard Francis.</em></figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the regional and domestic network expansion, TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Bernard Francis, said that the much-awaited new routes from Jakarta to Bangkok as well as from Bali to Wakatobi and Waingapu will strengthen TransNusa’s international and domestic connectivity network.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What about Wakatobi?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wakatobi is a remote, tropical archipelago located in the Southeast Sulawesi province of Indonesia, nestled between the Banda Sea to the northeast and the Flores Sea to the southwest. The name “Wakatobi” is a portmanteau created from the first letters of its four main islands: Wangi-Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko. The expansive Wakatobi National Park, the third-largest marine park in Indonesia, encompasses the entire regency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tourism significance</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wakatobi holds an esteemed status in international tourism; legendary adventurer Jacques Cousteau once famously described the region as an “Underwater Nirvana.” Today, its global renown centres on world-class marine biodiversity, pioneering ecological conservation, and rich seafaring cultural heritage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Epicentre of Coral Biodiversity:</strong> Wakatobi sits directly inside the Asia-Pacific Coral Triangle. It hosts an astonishing 750 out of the world’s 850 known coral reef species and more than 942 distinct fish species. Its complex marine habitats feature 25 distinct coral reef groups—including massive barrier reefs, fringing reefs, and pristine atolls—making it a legendary destination for scuba diving, snorkelling, and professional underwater photography.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Benchmark for Eco-Tourism: </strong>The region serves as a model for private- and community-led conservation. Marine protected zones operate strictly via cooperative agreements with local villages. In exchange for safeguarding reef sanctuaries from destructive practices, communities receive support like sponsored clean energy, localised waste management, and educational scholarships. Strict dive rules and continuous environmental monitoring ensure that high-end tourism actively restores, rather than degrades, the surrounding ecosystem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Living Heritage of Seafaring Nomads: </strong>Beyond its marine wonders, Wakatobi offers immersive cultural tourism. It is home to the indigenous Bajo tribe, traditionally known as “sea gypsies,” whose history and way of life are deeply intertwined with the ocean. Travellers frequently participate in “live-in” village packages to observe local wisdom, see traditional handicraft weaving, such as the Homoru sarong, and visit ancient cultural sites.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Introductory fares</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tickets from Jakarta to Bangkok start at USD167.54, while tickets from Bali to Wakatobi start at USD103.30. Tickets from Bali to Waingapu start at USD75.36.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Our goal is to continue improving accessibility across Southeast Asia by continuously introducing new routes and expanding TransNusa’s international as well as its domestic network,” continued Datuk Bernard, adding that at the initial stage, TransNusa will operate two daily flights for the Jakarta-Bangkok route, three weekly direct flights from Bali to Wakatobi on Monday, Thursday and Sunday, for the Bali-Wakatobi route.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Flight schedule: Bangkok-Thailand</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">8B381 and 8B38 will depart from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta at 0820 and 1630 and arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok at 1145 and 1955.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">8B382 and 8B38 will depart the Suvarnabhumi Airport at 1230 and 2040, arriving at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta at 1555 and 0005.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Flight schedule: Bali-Wakatobi</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">8B5662 will depart from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali at 0805 and arrive at Matahora Airport in Wakatobi at 0945.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">8B5663 will depart from Matahora Airport at 1015 and arrive at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali at 1155.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TransNusa will deploy its Airbus A320, which has 174 seats, for its international route and its COMAC C909, which has 95 seats, for its domestic route.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">JAKARTA, 3 July 2026: TransNusa continues to expand its international network with the launch of a new Jakarta–Bangkok route, scheduled to commence operations on 6 August 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Having launched its first international flight from Jakarta, Indonesia, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2023, the airline is ready to establish twice-daily flights to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), a busy route served by Garuda and Thai Airways International.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The airline will operate twice-daily flights using an A320 with 174 seats</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TransNusa will schedule twice-daily flights from Jakarta (CGK) airport to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Thailand’s primary international gateway.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to TransNusa Group CEO Datuk Bernard Francis, the launch of the Jakarta–Bangkok route represents a strategic move to meet the growing demand for leisure travel to Thailand from Indonesia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Thailand remains one of the most popular destinations among Indonesian travellers, while Indonesia continues to attract increasing interest from Thai visitors. By launching the Jakarta–Bangkok route with twice-daily services from the outset, we aim to provide greater flexibility for our customers while further strengthening connectivity between our two countries,” said Datuk Bernard Francis.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first daily flight will depart Jakarta at 0820 and arrive in Bangkok at 1145. The return service will depart Bangkok at 1230 local time and arrive in Jakarta at 1555.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second daily flight will depart Jakarta at 1630 and arrive in Bangkok at 1955. The return flight will leave Bangkok at 2040 and arrive in Jakarta at 0005 on the following day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TransNusa is offering competitive introductory fares starting from IDR 2,999,000 one-way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The launch of the Jakarta–Bangkok route is expected further to strengthen the growing tourism relationship between Indonesia and Thailand. Thailand remains one of Southeast Asia’s most sought-after travel destinations, offering a diverse range of attractions — from the cultural heritage of Bangkok and Ayutthaya to the stunning beaches of Phuket, Krabi, and Pattaya, and the natural beauty of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the same time, Indonesia’s world-class destinations appeal to Thai travellers with TransNusaa offering connecting flights from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, Bali and Lombok.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tickets for the Jakarta–Bangkok route are now available to book on the official TransNusa website and on popular booking sites such as Skyscanner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TransNusa officially launched its first international flight on 14 April 2023, with a route connecting Jakarta (CGK) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL). This marked a major pivot for the airline following its post-pandemic relaunch under new ownership, shifting from a domestic regional carrier to a premium service carrier focused on international expansion.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Its scheduled international destinations include Singapore, served from both Jakarta and Bali. It also serves Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with flights to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) and Subang Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Growing platform for regional travel business</strong></p>
