Abstract

A. Tourism Progress

  • In the second month of 2023, international visitor arrivals in Indonesia were 701.93 thousand. Even though the number of arrivals decreased by 4.62 percent compared to the previous month, the recovery of the tourism sector was seen from the increase in international visitor arrivals compared to the previous year (year-on-year), at 567.27 percent. This increase was in line with the control of the COVID-19 pandemic and the repeal of the Level-I Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). Malaysia (18.10 percent) and Australia (12.08 percent) dominated the number of international visitors to Indonesia in February 2023.
  • Cumulatively, the international visitor arrivals from January to February 2023 also increased by 532.94 percent compared to the same period in 2022. This increase in international visitors was mainly recorded from the gates of Ngurah Rai and Soekarno Hatta airports, which increased by 49,949.96 percent and 716.85, respectively.
  • The upturn in tourism activity was also recorded from the room occupancy rate in February 2023. The room occupancy rate of classified hotels was 47.83 percent, increased by 9.29 percentage points (year-on-year), and increased by 2.97 percentage points (month-to-month). Likewise, the room occupancy rate of non-classified hotels was 22.67 percent, increased by 1.26 percentage points (year-on-year), and increased by 0.53 percentage points (month-to-month). Even so, it should be noted that the average length of stay at classified hotels has stayed the same as the previous year, at 1.63 days.
