Sandiaga stressed that Indonesia’s government intends to expand the visa-free entry policy to include visitors from 20 countries. This expansion aims to enhance tourist arrivals and drive economic growth through the tourism sector.
In 2024, Indonesia is targeting revenues of IDR200 trillion ($12.9 billion), but the amount could significantly increase once the visa-free entry policy takes effect. Sandiaga also said that Indonesia expects every tourist from eligible countries to spend at least $5,000 during their stay in the country.
