Impact of Additional Public Holidays and Collective Leave in Indonesia
Vice Chairman of the Association of The Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA) Budijanto Ardiansjah told CNBC Indonesia that additional holidays from the government are expected to increase people’s interest in travelling. Consequently, he said, the addition of collective leave days could impact the growth of the national tourism industry.
“We hope people can travel more, especially for domestic trips. Our hope is that it will have a positive impact. Because the tourism sector has a significant domino effect, many will benefit, especially at the grassroots level, such as SMEs and the local community,” he said.
