Indonesia recorded approximately 148 million travelers during the recent Eid al-Fitr holiday period, exceeding the government’s earlier projection by 2.53%. This highlights the overall surge in travel activity and a positive image for the tourism sector.

Authorities stated that the difference between the projected and actual figures was due to several factors, particularly changes in people’s travel planning behavior. The government will further assess these patterns to improve planning and better accommodate future holiday travel demand.

At the same time, the government revealed that road accidents during the holiday period declined compared to the previous year, indicating improved safety standards. The overall improvement in travel conditions was attributed to close coordination between government agencies and transport operators across all sectors.

In addition, this success was supported by the rapid dissemination of information by the media, enabling travelers to plan their trips more effectively. The government also commended the public for complying with official measures, which helped ensure smooth and efficient traffic flow throughout the holiday period.
