The surge in arrivals to the largest archipelago in the world follows the recent introduction of the visa-free policy for British nationals as well as an uplift in flight capacity and the introduction of non-stop flights to Jakarta from London Heathrow.
March saw arrival figures of 27,437, which represents a growth of 40.58% on last year’s figures for the same month. Combined with the impressive increase witnessed in January and February, cumulative growth currently stands at 28% and is set to continue. The Indonesian tourism ministry is promoting the destination through a series of campaigns throughout 2016.
Richard Hume, country manager for Indonesia in the United Kingdom said: ‘I strongly believe there is excellent potential for continued growth from the UK market as Indonesia ticks all the boxes and has so much diversity to offer the UK traveller.
‘The ministry’s policy to remove the visa requirement for UK nationals has been extremely well-received, as has the introduction of new flights to the destination.’
