Indonesia Welcomes 12.66 Million Tourists in 2024

Indonesia's tourism sector is showing promising signs of recovery, with a significant increase in foreign tourist arrivals during the first 11 months of 2024. According to Statistics Indonesia (BPS), a total of 12.66 million foreign tourists visited the country, representing a 20.17% year-on-year increase.

This positive trend indicates a rebound from the slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The report highlights the growing confidence in Indonesia as a tourist destination, with Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, and China contributing the highest number of visitors in November.

The Indonesian government has set an ambitious target of 14.3 million foreign tourist arrivals for 2024. With the continued recovery of the tourism sector, Indonesia is well-positioned to achieve this goal and further strengthen its position as a leading tourist destination in the region.
