Economic impact

Tourism in Indonesia's economy

Tourism made up 4.67% of Indonesia's GDP in 2023, the latest year with a full measure of its direct contribution. A provisional estimate for 2025, based only on accommodation, food and drink and air transport, puts the share at 3.97%. Tourism industries employed 25.91 million people in 2025, 3.64% more than in 2024.

25.91m Jobs in tourism industries 2025 · +3.64%
9.17m Trips abroad by Indonesians 2025 · 6.22m fewer than foreign arrivals

The 2025 estimate of 3.97% (Rp946.45 trillion of a GDP of Rp23,811.10 trillion) is a narrower measure than the 2023 figure. Accommodation and food services grew 7.41% in 2025, against 5.11% for the whole economy. Indonesian residents spent US$14.12 billion on travel abroad in 2025, so travel brought a net inflow of US$4.16 billion.

Notes & sources

Methodology & sources

This page compiles publicly available official statistics from the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia (Kementerian Pariwisata), Bank Indonesia and BPS-Statistics Indonesia; the sources for every figure are listed below. Caveats:

  • The 2025 arrivals total (15,386,646) and the monthly, market and entry-point figures come from the Ministry of Tourism's December 2025 report and its tables, which are compiled from immigration records and BPS data and marked provisional. The same total was released by BPS on 2 February 2026. The 2026 figures to August come from the ministry's press release of 8 October 2026. BPS-Statistics Indonesia's website (bps.go.id) blocks automated access, so BPS releases were not opened for this page; BPS figures are taken from official ministry and provincial copies.
  • Arrivals count foreign visitors by trip at airports, seaports and land borders, following international recommendations for tourism statistics, and exclude foreign crew. At several land and sea borders BPS counts visitors from mobile positioning data (MPD), which added 1,943,623 arrivals in 2025, most of them from Malaysia (841,992) and Timor-Leste (761,479). The "other ASEAN" group in the ministry tables also includes Indonesian migrant workers on leave and Indonesians living abroad. Markets are by nationality.
  • The 2019, 2020 and 2021 totals are BPS figures as listed in the Bali Provincial Tourism Office statistics book for 2025. 2022 is the revised total of 5,889 thousand from Bank Indonesia's balance of payments memorandum; it was first published as 5,471,277. 2024 is the revised ministry total (13,886,678), first published as 13,902,420. Bank Indonesia's memorandum gives slightly different totals for 2019 (16,155 thousand) and 2020 (4,065 thousand).
  • International visitor spending is travel exports (jasa perjalanan) in Bank Indonesia's balance of payments, which the Ministry of Tourism also reports as tourism foreign exchange (devisa pariwisata). 2025 is provisional (US$18,275 million, unchanged between the February and August 2026 reports) and 2026 is very provisional. 2019 is as published in mid-2021 and 2020 was still provisional in that report. The ministry's earlier projection for 2025 was US$18.91 billion. Growth rates for spending are our calculation from the published US$ million values (the ministry gives 9.37% for 2025, from rounded totals). Average spending per visit comes from the BPS survey of departing foreign visitors. Figures are nominal.
  • Domestic tourist trips are BPS counts of trips by Indonesian residents within Indonesia (1,021.08 million in 2024 and 1,200.33 million in 2025), as reported by the Ministry of Tourism. Star-hotel room occupancy (TPK) for 2026 is from the ministry's October 2026 release. A national full-year 2025 occupancy rate was not found in a source that could be opened, so it is not shown.
  • The 4.67% share is tourism direct GDP for 2023 from the BPS Tourism Satellite Account, which is published about two years after the reference year. The 3.97% figure for 2025 is the ministry's provisional estimate using only GDP of accommodation, food and drink and air transport. Employment is from the BPS labour force survey (Sakernas) as reported by the ministry. Net travel income (US$4.16 billion) is travel exports minus travel imports in the August 2026 balance of payments report.
  • No official purpose-of-visit split or attraction visitor counts are used, so those sections are omitted. The September 2026 arrivals release was not yet available. Figures for Bali alone are on the Bali page.
