The Jakarta Provincial Government, through the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Department (Disparekraf), is set to boost international tourist visits to Jakarta by participating in the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) Dubai 2024.

ATM Dubai, recognized as a premier platform for tourism and travel industry professionals worldwide, took place from May 6-9, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates.

This event, one of the largest travel and tourism exhibitions in the Middle East, is anticipated to attract over 39,000 professionals from 150 countries.

"ATM Dubai is known as the main platform for meeting and networking among tourism and travel industry professionals from around the world, introducing new products and discussing the latest trends," said Andhika Permata, Head of Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Department. "Our participation in this event aims to expand Jakarta’s reach and strengthen international relations."

The Jakarta Provincial Government’s engagement at ATM Dubai 2024 aligns with broader objectives set by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, targeting increased visits from Middle Eastern tourists, bolstering domestic economic recovery, and contributing to the creation of 4.4 million jobs by 2024.

Andhika added, "The Provincial Government of Jakarta, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, aims to attract 95 to 143 million international tourist visits to Indonesia by 2024."

Participation in ATM Dubai 2024 will also focus on promoting Jakarta as a prime recreational tourism destination, enhancing global market relations, and expanding business networks between Jakarta tourism enterprises and the international community. The ultimate goal is to position Jakarta as the top tourist destination for Middle Eastern visitors.

Representing Jakarta at the event are five tour operators or travel agents and three hotels, offering a range of tailored tour packages for the Middle East market. These packages highlight leisure tourism, with key attractions like Kepulauan Seribu and the new Pantai Indah Kapuk, as well as sports tourism, particularly golf.
