Indonesia is planning its biggest push for Indian arrivals. The Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia in collaboration with Visit Indonesia Tourism Officer (VITO) in India is gearing up to lure international tourists especially from India, by undertaking 2015 Indonesia Sales Mission to India. The event will run from 28 to 30 of July 2015 at Mumbai and New Delhi which are the two biggest cities in India and potential for Indian tourist visiting Indonesia.

Undertaking Sales Mission to India is a strategic opportunity to reinforce Indonesia’s tourism position to promote the country as tourist destination as well as to attract investors related to tourism. For the said purpose The Ministry of Tourism of The Republic of Indonesia will conduct tourism business meeting with around 100 buyers from Mumbai and New Delhi with the following tourism industries from Indonesia, namely: Asia World Indonesia, Floressa Bali Tours, Girnar Tour, Great Day Holiday Tour and Travel, ICS Travel Group, Indoplan Holidays, KCBJ Tours, LH Travels, Panorama Destination, Pacto Ltd, Tria Uma Wisata Tour and Travel, U & I HOLIDAYS Pvt. Ltd.ETC.



Indonesia and India are the biggest democracies in Asia and have enjoyed historical, economic and cultural links for more than a thousand years. Hope the close relationship between the two countries would help the tourism industries to deliver mutual advantage through Sales Mission. “Wonderful Indonesia”, Indonesia’s tourism motto reflects the country’s beautiful nature, unique culture, varied food, hospitable people and price competitiveness in various kind of services.

India has been included in the top 10 visitors to Indonesia and is one of the primary markets in term of increasing the number of foreign visits to Indonesia. Based on the foreign visits realization data of 2014, the number of Indian visits increased about 16.23% to 237.990 visits compared to the 2013’s, 204.756 visits. The positive trend of increase in Indian tourist arrivals is visible from January until May 2015, 107.933 visits.

Meanwhile, demand for international tourism to Indonesia remain strong, according to the results reported by Indonesia Statistics Bureau  records the total number of foreign tourists for January-December was 9.435.411 tourists, or increased 7.19% from the number recorded in 2013. As expected that in 2015, 12 million international visitors will visit Indonesia.

To reach the target of 20 million international visitors, the Ministry of Tourism will strive to develop new tourism potentials and focus on the three main products of Indonesia tourism:

1.    Nature (Marine, Ecology and Adventure Tourism);
2.   Culture (History and Religious, Culinary, and 
         Urban & Country Side Tourism);
3.    Man Made (MICE and Event, Sport and Integrated Resort Tourism).


Postioning Indonesia as an attractive tourism destination in the worldwide market is imperative to the success of the country’s entire tourism strategy, particularly in India. To connect the two countries there are several airlines from India to Indonesia :

1.    Garuda Indonesia via Singapore;
2.    Singapore Airlines via Singapore;
3.    Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong;
4.    Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur;
5.    Thai Airways via Bangkok


It is hoped, that this mission apart from creating an awareness of Indonesia’s tourism potentials, would also help in strengthening the existing cordial relationship between both the countries.
