Bali is the most popular destination for Indonesian holidaymakers, according to local online travel companies.
“For a short holiday, Bali [is the most popular destination],” said Traveloka marketing head Dannis Muhammad during Festival Jalan-Jalan’s press conference on Monday as quoted by Antara news agency.
A similar trend is also seen in other e-commerce providers, including Pegipegi.com and Blibli.com. Pegipegi deputy CEO Ryan Kartawidjaja says that Bali remains the most popular destination on their website, followed by Bandung and Jakarta.

However, according to Traveloka, domestic tourists, particularly Jakartans, preferred Bogor as their second-favorite city for short holidays. As for international destinations, Singapore is the most popular country for a short getaway, as its distance from Indonesia only requires a short-haul flight.
Other popular destinations for local holidaymakers are the eastern part of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan, which are mostly destinations of long holidays. (jes/kes)
