With this realization, cumulative domestic tourist visits in January-September 2025 reached 901.90 million, up 18.99 percent from 757.96 million trips in the same period in 2024.
The state budget that flows for various official activities, work meetings, and agendas of ministries and institutions is considered to be one of the main drivers of tourism business turnover, including hospitality.
Senior Analyst at the Indonesia Strategic and Economic Action Institution, Ronny P Sasmita, said that the increase in travel, tourism and inter-city meeting activities certainly brings a positive signal for public consumption.
“This means that our monetary and fiscal policies are quite effective in maintaining price stability,” said Ronny to hitclubapk3Indonesia.com.
Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), government consumption in the third quarter of 2025 was recorded as growing 5.49 percent with a contribution of 7.17 percent to economic growth.
Realization of government spending increased sharply from the second quarter of 2025, which contracted 0.33 percent (yoy) and minus 1.38 percent during the first quarter of 2025.
Executive Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) Bhima Yudhistira assesses that the momentum at the end of this year is indeed a strategic opportunity for the economy, especially for government spending.
“The upper middle class who still have savings will use some of the money for traveling and recreation. The accommodation, food and beverage and souvenir shops sectors in various places have experienced quite a surge,” said Bhima.
For this reason, Bhima suggested that the government provide additional stimulus for the momentum of this year-end holiday, 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.
