The Indonesian government is planning to impose taxes on foreign tourists in five super-priority tourist destinations.
Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Vinsensius Jemadu said in the near future, international tourist taxation will not only be applied on the island of Bali but also in the five destinations of Lake Toba (North Sumatra province), Borobudur Temple (Central Java), Mandalika (West Nusa Tenggara), Labuan Bajo (East Nusa Tenggara), and Likupang (North Sulawesi).
Vinsensius mentioned that the tax for foreign tourists will start to be implemented in Bali in February 2024.
The next destinations for similar implementation will be determined based on assessments of three aspects, namely accessibility, amenities, and attractions.
