Rumors Circulating that the Government will Increase Airplane Ticket Prices for Tourism Fees, Netizens: Living in Indonesia is Getting Harder

He posted this statement through the X account @alvinlie21, which garnered criticism from netizens who rejected the plan because they believed it would cause airplane prices to rise.

"Now the government will burden the Tourism Contribution Fee to be included in the airplane ticket price. Consumers only know that the ticket price is increasing, even though the money does not go to the airline. How is this?"

write Alvin Lie, while mentioning the account of Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi @BudiKaryaS, Ministry of Transportation @kemenhub151 and Director General of Air Transportation @djpu151.

Alvin then shared an Invitation for a Coordination Meeting on the Discussion of the Draft Regulation of Sustainable Tourism Funds by the President, in order to prove that his post is not just a hoax. This invitation can be displayed because it is ordinary in nature, not a secret.

"To complement my previous upload, to show that I am not making things up & to avoid any false accusations."

In the invitation, it is written that a coordination meeting will be held by the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia, which will take place on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, from 09.00-11.00 WIB.

The meeting agenda also includes "implementation of tourism fees through flight tickets" led by the meeting chair, Plt Assistant Deputy for Access to Funding in Tourism, Tahyanto Abdillah.

There is no statement from the government regarding this news. But it is clear that netizens also responded with various opinions rejecting if this regulation is established.

"If that's the case, don't blame the public if they are more interested in vacationing abroad than in local destinations. Let the planes be used only for business purposes and to spend the government's budget," wrote @CoenDan. "Even under normal conditions, without contributions, our flight conditions are still unable to compete with other ASEAN airlines, especially in terms of service, connectivity, supporting facilities, and ticket prices," wrote the account @Hibatalfar. "It seems like life in Indonesia is getting harder," wrote the account @gea_asa.
