    Southeast Asia Tourism Outlook 2022 - Part 1: Reconnect and Restart

    Southeast Asian nations has entered another cycle of the pandemic with the new variant, omicron and closing the 2021 with rising infection number. In Indonesia, as many as 50 thousand people were traveling internationally during Christmas and Year End holiday last year. And there were around 3 million travellers who were traveling domestic in the month of November 2021 only. The situation in 2021 was not any better for the industry in comparison to 2020, especially within Southeast Asia. The Delta Variant overtook the spread and shook the healthcare systems in some countries between June – July 2021 while the end of the year, Omicron took over. There was little breathing space for the tourism industry in 2021. So, how will 2022 look like for the tourism industry in SEA region? How should nations within this region restart the industry? And how can countries should work together? I am honoured to have a discussion with Bapak Eddy Soemawilaga, the President at Association of Southeast Asian Nation Tourism Association (ASEANTA) about Southeast Asia Tourism Outlook 2022.

    Indonesian Domestic Tourism: A moment to Restart (The Rise of Rich Indonesia) Part 2

    Domestic travellers play important roles in the recovery of Indonesian tourism, especially with the rising number of Indonesian rich and super rich people. Insightful discussion with Mimi Hudoyo, Indonesia Editor TTG Asia. Blessed with greatest population Indonesian domestic market is surely a huge market. In 2018 there were more than 300 million domestic travellers, while the international travellers only reached nearly 16 million. Though the number was slightly reduced in 2019, where Indonesian domestic travellers were more than 280 million and the international travellers were only 16 million. With the complexity due to the pandemic situation, where restriction has limited the people movement that caused many border closed. Therefore, having international visitors is a great challenge for any destination. Since this crisis is different, I must say that pushing hard on international market could harm the domestic market. Interestingly, data from Credit Suisse showed that number of Indonesia rich in 2020 are increased 61,69% and its increased 22,29% for the super-rich in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Should this be interesting market for Indonesia to tap in during the pandemic? And should Indonesia pay more focus on this market before opening the border for international market, knowing many expert is saying that Indonesia will face the 3rd wave of the pandemic? Could this market be a moment to restart and to recover for Indonesia tourism?
