Attending SATTE is Wonderful Indonesia’s 2023 initial marketing campaign in an international travel exchange. The campaign begins with a Sales Mission on 7 February 2023 at Kolkata, connecting Indonesian sellers with Indian buyers and provide updates regarding Indonesia’s latest tourism policies. Wonderful Indonesia believes Kolkata is one of the most important cities to introduce Indonesia’s tourism, along with Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru (Bangalore).
India is ranked among top five most significant inbound markets visiting Indonesia. The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, stated, “For international promotion strategies, we aim to focus on our major tourist markets, including India, with the country’s remarkable inbound growth.”
According to the IMF, India is in the top five countries with the fastest economic growth. “The economic revival of the country stimulates the desire to travel abroad, proven by India inbound to Indonesia reaching 3,870% growth in 2022, compared to 2021,” said Deputy Marketing of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Ni Made Ayu Marthini. “Bali has already become one of the dream destinations for weddings and honeymoons for Indians, placing India as the second highest tourists inbound in Indonesia, following Australia. Thus, Wonderful Indonesia strives to adapt to potential markets by raising the offer to the luxury segment.” Several handpicked destinations include Yogyakarta, Bali, Sumba, and Labuan Bajo. In addition, Labuan Bajo has become the five super-priority destinations, along with Borobudur Temple, Lake Toba, Mandalika, and Likupang.
