InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) recorded positive performance throughout 2025, particularly in the second semester, amid the dynamics of the national and global tourism industry. This performance was reflected in stable occupancy rates and significant growth in tourist arrivals across all areas managed by ITDC, including The Nusa Dua in Bali, The Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and The Golo Mori in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).
Performance stability in the second semester of 2025 was closely linked to increased tourism activities and the organization of various national and international events in each area. This resulted in high tourist mobility, strengthened destination positioning, and sustained confidence among tourism industry players in ITDC-managed destinations.
The Acting President Director of ITDC, Ahmad Fajar, expressed his appreciation for the support and collaboration of all stakeholders in maintaining positive tourism area performance throughout 2025.
“Throughout 2025, we succeeded in maintaining stable occupancy levels while also driving significant growth in visitor numbers. This indicates that tourism activities in the areas we manage continue to move in a positive direction, supported by strengthened events, Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE), as well as the development of destination experiences,” he said.
At The Nusa Dua, the average hotel occupancy rate throughout 2025 was recorded at 76.93 percent. This achievement was attained despite external challenges, including a decline in official travel and MICE activities at the beginning of the year, in line with the Central Government’s budget efficiency policy. Nevertheless, total visits to the area continued to increase, rising from approximately 3.2 million visits in 2024 to nearly 3.8 million visits in 2025, or growth of around 18.5 percent. This increase reflects high tourist movement, although it is still largely dominated by day visitors who have not yet fully converted into overnight stays.
Meanwhile, The Mandalika recorded an average hotel occupancy rate of around 55 percent throughout 2025. This performance was supported by high activity levels across the area, with total visits reaching more than 1.4 million visitors during the year. Peak occupancy occurred from July to August, coinciding with the hosting of various national and international events as well as the school holiday period. The increase in occupancy was evenly distributed across different hotel categories, reflecting the strong multiplier effect of events on tourist movement, the tourism sector, and the local economy.
The Golo Mori also recorded positive performance. Total visits to the area throughout 2025 reached 28,406 visitors. Realized visits exceeded targets in both semesters of 2025, reaching 139 percent in the first semester and 140 percent in the second semester. This growth was driven by increasingly focused area activation strategies through the organization of medium- to large-scale events that were able to attract higher visitor numbers, despite a more curated number of events. This achievement underscores The Golo Mori’s position as a growing and increasingly competitive MICE destination.
“Overall, the performance achievements of the three areas affirm the effectiveness of ITDC’s destination management strategy in its role as Master Developer and Asset Manager of Indonesia’s tourism destinations. Going forward, ITDC is committed to improving service quality across its areas, increasing length of stay and visitor spending, and strengthening the development of internationally standardized events and amenities to support sustainable tourism growth,” Ahmad Fajar concluded.
