Domestic and International Tourism Surges, Domestic Travel Increases by 92%

Dream - Almost three years the world has been hit by the Corona virus pandemic. All cross-border travel access that was previously closed is now starting to open.

Of course, Dream friends who miss traveling around the world are very enthusiastic when cross-border travel access has been reopened.

Relaxation and the reopening of inter-regional and international transportation have caused a surge in the number of domestic and international tourists until August 2022. This is an indicator of the increasingly strong recovery of the tourism sector.

Increase in the Number of Passengers

This data is also supported by data from the Central Statistics Agency which recorded that during January-August 2022, the number of domestic passengers was 33.9 million people, an increase of 92% compared to the same period in 2021.

Meanwhile, the number of passengers to foreign countries (international) until the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 reached more than 824 thousand people, or an increase of 32% compared to the end of the second quarter of 2022.

"We highly appreciate the increasing interest of the public to travel again, not only to domestic destinations but also to international destinations," explained Shirley Lesmana, Chief Marketing Officer of Traveloka, in a written statement received by Dream.

Increase in Booking Transaction Trends

The trend of traveling is also improving, one of which can be seen from the increase in booking transactions up to 5 times.

"This increase is also reflected in Traveloka's internal data, which shows an increase of more than 5x in the trend of booking international travel destinations and an increase of more than 30% in domestic destinations at the end of the third quarter of 2022, compared to the beginning of 2022," added Shirley.

To welcome the holiday season at the end of 2022, Traveloka is launching the Traveloka Travel Fair 11.11 promotion program, which will take place from November 4 to November 11, 2022. There will be discounts of up to 70% for various accommodation, transportation, and tourist attractions in various domestic and international destinations, as well as bonuses such as air purifier and special coupons.

"The presence of Traveloka Fair 11.11 innovates and accelerates the sustainable recovery of the tourism industry. Furthermore, it can provide various travel and lifestyle solutions according to aspirations," added Shirley.
