Despite rising fuel prices throughout 2026 – a consequence of increasing global crude oil costs and geopolitical instability – interest in domestic tourism among Indonesians remains high. The Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) reports this resilience in travel demand. The surge in fuel costs stems from uncertainties in the global geo-economic and geopolitical landscape. Despite this economic pressure, Indonesians continue to prioritize leisure travel within the country. Further details regarding specific tourism data are expected to be released by BPS in subsequent reports. This indicates a strong domestic tourism sector capable of weathering economic challenges. The continued interest signals potential economic benefits for local tourism-dependent businesses.
