In order to promote tourism, Indonesia announced visa-free travel to 96 countries. This country of 17,000 islands is very beautiful and its beaches attract tourists. To further promote tourism, Indonesia has implemented a new visa policy, allowing tourists from 96 countries to visit Indonesia without any visa.
These 96 countries include the United States, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates, and citizens of these countries can visit Indonesia without a visa. This will attract more and more tourists to Indonesia, thereby strengthening its economy.
In May 2024, Indonesia’s tourism industry experienced significant growth, with the number of tourists in the country increasing to 1.1 million 50,000. This figure represents an increase of 7.36% from April 2024. At the same time, the number of tourists increased by 20.11% compared to May 2023.
Which countries in Indonesia have the most tourists?
The increasing number of tourists reflects Indonesia’s increasing popularity as a global tourist destination. The largest number of tourists arriving in Indonesia came from neighboring countries, including Malaysia (17.47%), Australia (11.98%) and Singapore (9.69%). This tourist trend shows how strong Indonesia’s regional ties are.
The influx of Indonesian tourists has been fueled by an increase in international flights and improved hospitality services, with Indonesian cities such as Bali and Jakarta also becoming very popular in recent years. The Indonesian government has done a lot of work in terms of infrastructure to promote tourism. Hotels and tourist facilities have been added to tourist hot spots such as Bali, Jakarta, and Lombok.
Indonesia’s new visa policy will not only promote tourism but also increase business opportunities in the country, which will help Indonesia’s economic development and enhance its global connectivity.
