The #DiIndonesiaAja Travel Fair 2023 (#DIATF 2023) is set to take
place from 19 to 21 May 2023, at the Grand Atrium Mal Kota Kasablanka in
Jakarta, Indonesia.
Organised by the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and
Investment of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenkomarves RI), the event
aims to promote domestic tourism and encourage more Indonesians to
discover the wonders within their own borders.
New horizons for Indonesia tourism
According to Oddo Manuhutu, deputy for tourism and creative economy,
the #DIATF 2023, with the theme "BBWI: Bangga Berwisata di Indonesia"
(Proud to Travel in Indonesia), aims to support the implementation of
the Proud to Travel in Indonesia programme, targeting 1.2-1.4 billion
trips, which is twice the number from 2022.
The expected impact on tourism revenue is around IDR 3,281 trillion,
significantly contributing to the recovery of the tourism sector and the
overall economy.
Forging alliances to showcase Indonesia’s destinations
In a display of national unity, the Confederation of Indonesia Tourism Association (GIPI) and the Indonesian Travel Agents Association
(ASTINDO) have joined forces to ensure the success of #DIATF 2023. With a
steadfast commitment to showcasing a myriad of enticing tourism
destinations throughout Indonesia, including 'super priority'
destinations, ASTINDO, bolstered by the support of BUMN Holding
Pariwisata and InJourney, assumes the pivotal role of organising this
travel fair.
Pauline Suharno, secretary general of GIPI and chairperson of
ASTINDO, stated, "We share the commitment for the resounding success of
#DIATF 2023 as it marks a pioneering endeavour that will spotlight both
our nation's cherished gems and the extraordinary super priority
destinations."
Several Indonesian banks, including BCA, BNI, BRI, CIMB Niaga, and
Mandiri, are actively supporting #DIATF 2023. Their support comes in the
form of enticing incentives, including cashback offers and flexible
instalment options, aimed at fostering accessible and affordable travel
experiences for all attendees.
An abundance of experiences await
The travel fair will feature a wide range of domestic travel packages
offered by travel agents. In addition to the popular ‘super priority’
destinations like Lake Toba, Yogyakarta-Solo-Semarang, Mandalika, Labuan
Bajo, and Likupang, travel agents will also showcase packages for Moto
GP events, diving trips, batik tours, Jakarta student trips, village
tours, walking tours, and more.
"In addition to the super priority destinations, our travel agents
offer packages for diverse experiences such as cultural tours, adventure
activities, and educational trips. There is something for everyone,"
said Suharno.
