According to the head of Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy , the number of travelers this year is expected to be much higher than the 123.8 million recorded during last year's Eid holiday. The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has coordinated with regional authorities and stakeholders to ensure readiness and thorough preparation at tourist destinations ahead of the holiday.
According to Sandiaga Uno, train passengers are expected to account for 20.3% of the total 194 million passengers, buses 19.4%, private car users 18.3%, and cyclists 16.07%.
The most popular destinations are Central Java, East Java, and West Java, projected to attract 61.6 million, 37.6 million, and 32.1 million tourists respectively. Given that Central Java is expected to attract a large number of visitors during the holiday, Minister Sandiaga Uno urged all stakeholders to ensure that all tourist destinations, including Borobudur Temple, are well-prepared according to the Cleanliness, Health, Safety and Environment (CHSE) standards.
In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, this year's Eid al-Fitr is expected to fall on April 10th and 11th. Traditionally, those working far from home will return to their families for this important holiday. The estimated peak day for travel is April 8th, with approximately 26.6 million people (13.7%) expected to travel. The estimated peak day for return travel is April 14th, with around 41 million people (21.2%) expected to travel.
The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation has also prepared measures to anticipate the increase in tourist numbers leading to congestion at key intersections and on important transportation routes.
