In anticipation of the upcoming year-end holiday season, online travel platform tiket.com has launched its annual "Online Tiket Week" (OTW) program, running from October 25 to November 3, 2023. This initiative aims to leverage the year-end holiday fervor and stimulate the recovery of the national tourism sector.

"Year-end holidays are traditionally a peak period for tourist travel," said Gaery Undarsa, Co-Founder & Chief Marketing Officer of tiket.com, at the event launch in Jakarta on Tuesday. "With OTW, we are offering our users special discounts on all travel-related products, including transportation, accommodations, and tourist attractions, both within Indonesia and abroad."

During the OTW promotion, tiket.com is providing discounts of up to 50 percent, with an additional 20 percent off during the daily "jam gledek" promotional period from 17:00 to 21:00 WIB. This generous discount applies to the entire spectrum of tiket.com's offerings, from flight tickets and train bookings to car rentals, hotels, villas, apartments, To-Do tickets, and essential travel amenities.

To further incentivize travel, tiket.com is offering a unique feature that provides a 100 percent refund on ticket cancellations for domestic flight routes and flights. This feature provides peace of mind for customers who may be uncertain about their travel plans. "For example, if there's a good price but you're still uncertain about the date, we have an option with a 100 percent refund," Gaery explained.

The recovery of the Indonesian tourism sector is evident in data from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy for the first half of 2023. Domestic tourist visits increased by 12.57 percent compared to the same period in 2022, with a staggering 197 percent rise in international tourist visits during the same period. These figures demonstrate a resurgent tourism sector, signaling a bright future for all stakeholders in the industry who have faced the challenges of the pandemic.

Buoyed by the positive growth trend in 2023, tiket.com is determined to use the OTW event to further stimulate the recovery of the national tourism sector. "tiket.com will continue its commitment to providing optimal stimuli through various attractive programs and promotions, enabling tiket.com users to realize their dream vacations," Gaery affirmed. As the year-end holiday season approaches, tiket.com's OTW promotion promises exciting opportunities for travelers seeking memorable and budget-friendly getaways.
