Even though some areas are still decreasing, the mobility of domestic tourists continues to increase, especially in favorite destinations such as Bali, Yogyakarta, Lombok and Labuan Bajo.
This momentum cannot be separated from the activities of government agencies which usually use the remaining annual budget to hold meetings, workshops and gatherings in hotels.
This kind of activity helps encourage hotel room occupancy, especially in big cities and popular tourist destinations.
The increase in travel, tourism and meeting activities between cities brings positive signals for public consumption.This surge was felt in restaurants, shops, entertainment centers, even the transportation and accommodation sectors.
Indonesia Strategic and Economic Action Institution (ISEAI) senior analyst Ronny P Sasmita said this trend shows positive consumption movements, although most of it is influenced by end-of-year seasonal factors.
“The increase in the number of transportation passengers and hotel occupancy rates can indeed be read as a positive signal that people’s consumption is starting to increase. Travel activities, tourism and meetings outside the city, in general, have
multiplier effect
“which is quite large compared to spending in other sectors such as culinary, retail and services,” said Ronny to

, Tuesday (11/11).
Then, the transportation sector also blossomed.The number of train passengers from January to September 2025 will reach 402.5 million people, an increase of 8.49 percent compared to the previous year.
River, lake and ferry transportation rose 15.12 percent to 39.2 million people.Likewise, domestic sea transportation increased 17.95 percent to 23.3 million people.
Even though domestic air transportation decreased slightly compared to the previous month, the number of international passengers increased by 8.87 percent compared to the same period last year.
Seeing this, Ronny sees that the end of this year remains a sign that the economic sector is starting to move, providing positive energy for consumption and opportunities for the development of tourist areas.
On the other hand, Ronny reminded that most of the drive for consumption comes from government activities and seasonal recreation, so it does not yet fully reflect the structural recovery of people’s purchasing power.
Likewise, Executive Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) Bhima Yudhistira assesses that the momentum at the end of this year is a strategic opportunity for the economy.
“The upper middle class who still have savings will use some of the money for traveling and recreation. The accommodation, food and drink and souvenir shops in various places have experienced quite a surge,” said Bhima.
“If disbursement is better at the end of this year, the effect could certainly be more positive. It is hoped that accelerated government spending will still be able to push growth in the fourth quarter above 5 percent,” he added.
Bhima also suggested various additional stimuli, such as discounts on toll roads, airline fares, and music festivals or concerts, so that tourists stay longer and the circulation of money in destination areas increases.
With increasing tourist mobility and shopping activities, the end of this year can be a cheerful moment for the community, business actors and the government to close the year with economic optimism, while opening up opportunities for sustainable recovery next year.
Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa previously targeted to bring the Indonesian economy to growth above 5.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 so that the rate throughout the year could be 5.2 percent.
“My bet is that in the fourth quarter (2025) we hope that economic growth will be above 5.5 percent,” said Purbaya at the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) Press Conference at the Bank Indonesia (BI) Office, Central Jakarta, last Monday (3/11).
This optimism is supported by the placement of government money worth IDR 200 trillion in state-owned banks and various stimuli disbursed by the government.
