Minister of Tourism Widiyanti Putri Wardana presents the country\u2019s tourism sector\u2019s performance for the first six months of 2025.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\u201cThe tourism sector\u2019s performance in the first half of 2025 showed positive growth, as a strong signal that the programmes rolled out by the Ministry of Tourism are on target and have delivered the right benefits,\u201d said Tourism Minister Widiyanti, noting that the positive performance reflected increases in both international and domestic tourist trips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The positive performance of the tourism sector is also reflected in Indonesia\u2019s economic growth in the second quarter of 2025, which reached a relatively high level of 5.12% (year-on-year), surpassing the growth in the second quarter of 2024 of 5.05% (year-on-year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe should be grateful that amidst the uncertainty and challenges of global geopolitics, the tourism sector has proven to be able to contribute and play a significant role in GDP and maintain the resilience of the national economy,\u201d said Widiyanti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To maintain economic growth through 2025, the government has issued stimulus measures, including supply-side discounts on airline, train, ferry fares and toll fees, making tourism services more affordable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tourism Minister Widiyanti also highlighted the 3.54 percentage point decline in star-rated hotel occupancy from January to June 2025 compared to the same period the previous year (year-to-date). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe decline is not believed to be due to a weakening interest in tourism, but rather to a possible shift in tourist interest to alternative accommodations and an increase in room availability, among other factors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite a decline in hotel occupancy rates, the number of occupied hotel rooms increased by 11.53% compared to the first half of 2024. This indicates that demand for hotel accommodation remains strong, but the rapid growth in hotel room supply has caused occupancy rates to decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re still monitoring this, as there are several possibilities, including tourists staying in alternative accommodations. We appreciate the growth of tourism businesses through alternative accommodations, such as villas. This helps provide accommodation facilities for tourists and even offers unique accommodation experiences at destinations,\u201d Tourism Minister Widiyanti concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
