On behalf of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of
Indonesia (MoTCE), Deputy Minister for Tourism Marketing, Mrs. Nia Niscaya,
signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) between the Ministry of Tourism and
Creative Economy Republic of Indonesia and Emirates Airlines during ATM 2021.
The Cooperation aims to boost marketing activities overseas, especially in
Dubai.
In total, 20 Indonesian destinations took part onsite. Based on a questionnaire
submitted by 100 Indonesian co-exhibitors, 606 bookings were made during the
4-day show in Dubai from 16-19 May 2021 and 2.443 bookings in Bali during the
ATM Dubai Virtual event from 24-26 May 2021. These two events -- in-person and
online -- were complementary and allowed exhibitors to reach a broader audience
to ensure no one misses out.
A New Dawn for Travel and Tourism
The theme of this year's show is 'A New Dawn for Travel and Tourism'. The
spotlight focuses on how the latest 'COVID' news worldwide is likely to affect
international tourism in 2021 and beyond.
Sixty-two countries joined the exhibition floor this year, including the UAE,
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Germany, Cyprus, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea,
the Maldives, the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and the U.S. In comparison,
while 140 countries participated in the virtual event.
In participating in a global travel market in the pandemic era, Indonesia
demonstrates its firm commitment to CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety and
Environment Sustainability) implementation by focusing on health and safety
protocols at destinations and the Indonesia Pavilion in the Dubai World Trade
Center, Dubai.
Middle East travelers have long been a key market for Indonesian tourism
destinations. In 2019, the Middle East recorded a significant increase in
arrivals to Indonesia, registering 263,923 visitors (27,88% higher than 2018).
"By participating in ATM Dubai 2021, outbound tourism's leading global event,
we are demonstrating that Indonesia is confident of maintaining its position as
a world-class destination," said Mrs. Nia Niscaya, Deputy of Minister for
Tourism Marketing.
Plans to re-open borders in July
His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo,
announced plans to re-open borders in July 2021, with destinations including
Bali, Batam and Bintan serving as 'locomotive' regions to kickstart tourism for
the whole country - if the pandemic is handled as well as expected.
In preparation, the government has carried out a widespread vaccination program
for targeted groups, including the tourism workforce. In addition, the
government has also initiated the Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and
Environmental Sustainability (CHSE) certification program throughout the
tourism sector in Indonesia.
