The majority of Indonesians have never vacationed on a cruise ship, a recent survey by a travel agency has found.
Dwidaya World Wide, also known as Dwidaya Tour, conducted a survey involving 1,200 Indonesian travelers divided into three groups based on age: Generation Z (18 to 23 years old), Generation Y (24 to 41 years) and Generation X (42 to 52 years). As many as 90 percent of respondents said they had never enjoyed a vacation on a cruise ship.
The majority of respondents said they wanted to go on a cruise vacation.
"Vacations by cruise ship attract tourist interest. They want to enjoy holidays and interesting attractions in the middle of the ocean, and new experiences that are rarely found when traveling on land," Dwidaya Tour commercial vice president Hendriyapto said as quoted by tempo.co.
