Indonesia eyes wellness tourism to boost global competitiveness

Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism is focusing on developing a sustainable wellness tourism ecosystem to enhance the country's global competitiveness. The initiative includes improving destinations, service standards, product innovation, investment, promotions, and human resource development. Wellness tourism is seen as a key driver for high-quality tourism businesses, as travelers in this segment often stay longer and spend more. According to 2024 data, wellness tourism accounts for 13.35% of foreign tourist arrivals in Indonesia. The Global Wellness Institute reports that Indonesia has the largest wellness economy in Southeast Asia, valued at $55.77 billion. The ministry aims to target Millennials and Gen Z travelers, who prioritize experiences, events, sports, and wellness activities. Related efforts include partnerships with South Korea and the ASEAN-Japan Centre.
