Indonesia: The impact of government austerity measures

The Indonesian hospitality industry is grappling with the effects of the government’s budget austerity policy, introduced in November 2024, according to a recent survey conducted by the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) and Horwath HTL. The survey, which gathered responses from 726 hoteliers across 30 provinces, highlights significant concerns regarding declining market performance, with 83% of respondents indicating an unfavourable start to 2025. Government-related demand, historically comprising 5-7% of hotel business, and MICE-related demand, making up 6-21%, have been drastically affected.

Lombok Hotel & Branded Residences 2025

Lombok, long overshadowed by Bali, remains rich in natural and cultural appeal but underperforms in tourism development due to connectivity issues and hesitant investment. Despite solid domestic tourism growth, international arrivals are lagging, reaching only 430,000 in 2024, down from their 2019 peak. Domestic visitors, however, surged to over 3.2 million.
