Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif dari Masa ke Masa

Pasca pendudukan Jepang dan setelah meraih kemerdekaan, pemerintah Indonesia mulai berjuang menghidupkan industri-industri yang mendukung perekonomian, salah satunya pariwisata.

Pengelolaan sektor pariwisata mulai dikembangkan ke dalam struktur pemerintahan sejak tahun 1959 di bawah Kementerian Muda Perhubungan Darat, Pos, Telegraf dan Telepon yang dipimpin oleh Menteri Djatikusumo dalam Kabinet Kerja Soekarno. Djatikusumo menjabat hingga 1963.

Selama kurang lebih tiga dekade, nama Lembaga yang bertugas menyelenggarakan hal-hal kepemerintahan di bidang pariwisata mengalami transformasi. Setelah Djatikusumo, tongkat estafet diteruskan oleh oleh sejumlah menteri lain di antaranya Hidajat Martaatmadja (1963-1966), Soerjadi Soerjadarma (1966), Hamengkubuwono IX (1966), dan S.H. Simatupang (1966).

Perlahan namun pasti, selama itu pula industri pariwisata tanah air mulai berkembang dan jumlah wisatawan mancanegara yang berplesir ke Indonesia terus tumbuh.

Tahun 1969, ketika jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara ke Indonesia mencapai 86.000 orang, Presiden Soeharto mengeluarkan Instruksi Presiden RI No. 9 tentang Pedoman Pembinaan Pengembangan Kepariwisataan Nasional.

Instruksi presiden ini sekaligus menandai bermulanya pengembangan pariwisata secara formal. Upaya- upaya pengembangan pariwisata disebutkan dalam pasal 4:

Memelihara/membina keindahan dan kekayaan alam serta kebudayaan masyarakat Indonesia sebagai daya tarik kepariwisataan
Menyediakan/membina fasilitas-fasilitas transportasi, akomodasi, entertainment dan pelayanan pariwisata lainnya yang diperlukan, termasuk pendidikan kader
Menyelenggarakan promosi kepariwisataan secara aktif dan efektif di dalam maupun di luar negeri
Mengusahakan kelancaran formalitas-formalitas perjalanan dan lalu-lintas para wisatawan dan demikian menghilangkan unsur-unsur yang menghambatnya
Mengarahkan kebijaksanaan dan kegiatan perhubungan, khususnya perhubungan udara, sebagai sarana utama guna memperbesar jumlah dan melancarkan arus wisatawan.

Tahun berikutnya, 1970, pemerintah berusaha menggenjot sektor pariwisata dengan membentuk Bali Tourist Development Corporation (BDTC). Kala itu, Bali menjadi pilot project pengembangan pariwisata Indonesia sebab jumlah wisatawan mancanegara yang datang ke Bali melebihi wilayah Indonesia lainnya.

Namun demikian, pemerintah sudah menyadari bahwa pengembangan pariwisata tidak bisa hanya dilakukan di Pulau Bali. Oleh sebab itu, dalam kurun 1970 hingga 1980, promosi pariwisata Indonesia digaungkan dengan jargon-jargon seperti “Indonesia, there is more to it than Bali”, “Indonesia, Bali and Beyond”, serta “Indonesia, Bali plus Nine”.

Sejarah Kementerian

Program Unggulan dan Prestasi Menteri

Sebelum 1983, sektor pariwisata dikelola oleh direktorat di bawah kementerian atau departemen yang mengurus perhubungan. Baru di tahun ini, kepariwisataan dipisahkan dan didirikan sebagai Departemen Pariwisata, Pos dan Telekomunikasi dengan Achmad Tahir sebagai menterinya.

Salah satu kebijakan yang dibuat di masa Achmad Tahir untuk menarik wisatawan mancanegara plesiran ke Indonesia adalah Keputusan Presiden No.15 Tahun 1983. Keppres ini menetapkan kebijakan bebas visa bagi warga negara dari 26 negara. Dalam Keppres tersebut, disebutkan pula 9 bandar udara serta 7 pelabuhan taut sebagai pintu masuk wisatawan ke Indonesia.

Tak hanya untuk menggenjot jumlah wisatawan, menurut Achmad Tahir kebijakan ini juga merupakan langkah strategis untuk memikat para penanam modal untuk pengembangan fasilitas pariwisata. Di kemudian hari, langkah ini berhasil membuka kesempatan lebih luas bagi para perajin dan pengusaha jasa pariwisata untuk menjalankan roda ekonomi.

Selama menjabat sebagai menteri di Departemen Pariwisata, Pos dan Telekomunikasi, program unggulan sekaligus terobosan yang dicanangkan Soesilo Soedarman adalah Visit Indonesia Year di tahun 1991. Sejak saat itu pula, Indonesia semakin rutin menjalankan promosi pariwisata ke luar negeri.

Program unggulan lain yang digagas Soesilo Soedarman yang bahkan masih bergaung hingga saat ini adalah Sapta Pesona. Melalui Keputusan Menparpostel tahun 1989, Soesilo Soedarman memperkenalkan program kampanye pariwisata yang dilambangkan dengan matahari bersinar dengan tujuh unsur: keamanan, ketertiban, kebersihan, kesejukan, keindahan, keramahan dan kenangan.

Melalui kampanye ini, pemerintah mendorong keterlibatan masyarakat dalam upaya mendorong pariwisata di Indonesia. Masyarakat yang hidup di area wisata diharapkan mampu menciptakan suasana yang aman, tertib, bersih, sejuk karena lingkungan hidup yang asri, indah, menerima wisatawan dengan ramah sehingga menciptakan kenangan yang indah.

Di masa kepemimpinannya pula Gedung Sapta Pesona mulai dibangun. Peletakan batu pertama dilakukan pada 20 November 1991.

Di bawah komando Joop Ave sebagai Menteri Pariwisata, Pos dan Telekomunikasi sejak 1993 hingga 1998, industri pariwisata Indonesia berhasil tumbuh signifikan. Berdasarkan data Bappenas, dalam periode 1993/94 hingga 1996/97, jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara meningkat dari 3,4 juta menjadi 5,06 juta. Penerimaan devisa di periode tersebut juga bertambah dari US$ 3,98 miliar menjadi US$ 6,34 miliar.

Dikenal sebagai sosok yang visioner, pria yang kerap dijuluki sebagai “Bapak Pariwisata Indonesia” ini juga giat mendorong pembangunan hotel dan gedung konvensi yang merupakan cikal bakal berkembangnya industri Meeting, Incentive, Conference dan Exhibition (MICE), sehingga Indonesia dapat secara aktif dan berkesinambungan menjadi tuan rumah berbagai pertemuan internasional.

Joop Ave juga memiliki perhatian begitu besar pada budaya Indonesia. Ia meyakini bahwa kecantikan alam dan budaya Indonesia adalah pintu masuk untuk memperkenalkan bangsa ini pada dunia. Pada 1993, Joop Ave bersama pematung legendaris asal Bali, Nyoman Nuarta, menggagas pembangunan patung Garuda Wisnu Kencana di Jimbaran, Bali. Patung GWK, yang diresmikan tahun 2018, kini menjadi salah satu primadona pariwisata Pulau Dewata.

Abdul Latief dilantik sebagai Menteri Pariwisata, Seni dan Budaya oleh Presiden Soeharto. Namun, ia hanya menjabat selama sekitar 3 bulan, yakni sejak 16 Maret hingga 21 Mei 1998. Pada 17 Mei 1998 ia mengirimkan surat pengunduran diri dari jabatannya

di kabinet Pembangunan VII. Di tahun tersebut, Indonesia mengalami pergolakan politik. Pengunduran diri Abdul Latief terjadi hanya berselang beberapa waktu dengan lengsernya Presiden Soeharto.

Marzuki Usman merupakan seorang ekonomi (ekonom) yang ditunjuk oleh Presiden B.J. Habibie sebagai Menteri Negara Pariwisata, Seni dan Budaya di Kabinet Reformasi Pembangunan. Ia dilantik di bulan Mei 1998 dan menyelesaikan masa kerja September 1999.

Pada masa itu, Indonesia masih dalam Dekade Kunjungan Indonesia. Menurut Badan Pusat Statistik, tahun 1998 dan 1999 sebanyak masing-masing 4,6 juta dan 4,7 juta wisatawan mancanegara berkunjung ke Indonesia.

Sebelum Hidayat Jaelani dilantik, posisi Menteri Pariwisata dan Kesenian sempat dijabat oleh Giri Suseno Hadihardjono selama sebulan di tahun 1999, tepatnya sejak September hingga Oktober.

Hidayat Jaelani menduduki jabatan ini setelah dilantik oleh Presiden Abdurrahman Wahid di bulan Oktober dan berakhir pada Agustus 2000.

Meski kondisi politik dan pemerintahan belum stabil, Indonesia masih berhasil menarik minat lebih banyak turis mancanegara untuk plesiran ke Indonesia. Tahun 2000, Indonesia menerima 5 juta wisatawan dari luar negeri.

I Gede Ardika menggantikan posisi Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata saat jabatan presiden masih diampu oleh Abdurrahman Wahid. Namun demikian, ia dapat bertahan di posisi tersebut setelah presiden berganti menjadi Megawati Soekarnoputri di tahun 2001.

Selama ia menjabat, terjadi tiga insiden pemboman di Tanah Air – Bom Bali 2002, JW Marriot 2003 dan Kedutaan Besar Australia 2004. Hal tersebut bukan hanya menjatuhkan banyak korban, tetapi juga mengorbankan industri pariwisata sebab banyak negara mengeluarkan larangan perjalanan ke Indonesia.

Menurut data BPS, pada tahun 2002, jumlah wisatawan mancanegara yang telah menyentuh angka 5 juta orang , turun merosot ke 4,4 juta di tahun 2003 yang kemudian Kembali mengalami kenaikan di tahun 2004 menjadi 5 juta orang. Alhasil , hal ini pun berdampak dengan naik turunnya pendapatan negara sebesar US$ 4 miliar dari devisa tersebut.

Perlahan namun pasti, sektor pariwisata Indonesia bangkit. Jero Wacik menjabat sebagai Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata di kedua periode pemerintahan Presiden Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), yakni di Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu dan Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu Jilid II.

Di awal masa jabatannya di periode pertama, tepatnya tahun 2005, kepariwisataan Indonesia kembali diguncang krisis pasca peristiwa Bom Bali II. Namun demikian, denyut pariwisata segera hidup lagi setelahnya.

Pada 2008, Kementerian Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata menghidupkan kembali program Visit Indonesia Year yang sempat mati suri. Langkah ini meningkatkan kunjungan turis asing ke Indonesia sekaligus memperingati 100 tahun Hari Kebangkitan Nasional.

Dengan anggaran sebesar Rp 200 miliar, ia mengklaim program tersebut berhasil, dilihat dari target devisa yang terlampaui. Yang semula diharapkan US$ 6,7 miliar, ternyata mencapai US$ 7,5 miliar. Di antara periode pertama dan kedua, jabatan Menteri Pariwisata sempat diampu oleh Muhammad Nuh selama 20 hari.

Dalam periode keduanya, Jero berperan dalam proses UNESCO mengakui keris, wayang, batik, angklung, tari saman dan subak sebagai warisan budaya dunia dari Indonesia.

Tahun 2011, Jero Wacik meluncurkan Wonderful Indonesia. Waktu itu, promosi pariwisata Indonesia semakin gencar hingga merambah dunia perfilman global. Film berjudul Eat, Pray, Love yang dibintangi Julia Robert menampilkan keindahan Bali. Selain itu, reality show asal Prancis berjudul Koh Lanta juga melakukan syuting di Indonesia, tepatnya di Raja Ampat, Papua Barat.

Setelah sebelumnya menjabat sebagai Menteri Perdagangan, Mari Elka Pangestu ditunjuk oleh Presiden Soesilo Bambang Yudhoyono menjadi Menteri Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif menggantikan Jero Wacik. Saat itu, Jero Wacik beralih menduduki posisi menteri di Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral.

Meski hanya menjabat tiga tahun, Mari mampu terus menggenjot jumlah wisatawan mancanegara dan pendapatan devisa negara dari pariwisata. Sejak 2011 hingga 2014, Menteri Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif perempuan pertama ini mampu meningkatkan jumlah turis asing dari 7,6 juta menjadi 8 juta dan 8,8 juta. Adapun devisa negara tumbuh dari US$ 8,5 miliar, menjadi US$ 9,1 miliar dan US$ 10 miliar dalam periode yang sama.

Dalam periode ini pula, industri ekonomi kreatif semakin mendapat perhatian dari pemerintah.

Kepariwisataan Indonesia meraih berbagai capaian penting di bawah kepemimpinan Arief Yahya sebagai Menteri Pariwisata. Indeks daya saing pariwisata Indonesia berdasarkan World Economic Forum terus meningkat. Dari peringkat 50 di tahun 2015, Indonesia naik perlahan ke posisi 42 di tahun 2017 dan 40 di tahun 2019.

Sektor pariwisata juga berhasil menjadi salah satu penyumbang devisa terbesar bagi negara. Angkanya tumbuh dari 12,2 miliar dollar AS pada 2015, US$ 13,6 miliar tahun 2016 US$ dan 15 miliar pada 2017.

Sejumlah penghargaan juga berhasil diraih. Tahun 2019, Indonesia memenangkan 11 penghargaan dari 4 kategori pada ajang ASEAN Tourism Award 2019. Indonesia dan Malaysia ditetapkan sebagai destinasi wisata halal terbaik dunia 2019 oleh Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI).

Sepanjang 2014-2019, Kementerian Pariwisata memperkenalkan “10 Bali Baru” sebagai program unggulannya. Sepuluh Bali baru tersebut yaitu Danau Toba di Sumatera Utara, Tanjung Kelayang di Bangka

Sejak dilantik menjadi Menteri Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif, Wishnutama memperkenalkan misi utamanya untuk memajukan sektor pariwisata di Indonesia melalui lima destinasi super prioritas. Kelima destinasi tersebut adalah Danau Toba di Sumatra Utara, Mandalika di Nusa Tenggara Barat, Manado di Sulawesi Utara, Borobudur di Jawa Tengah dan Labuan Bajo di Nusa Tenggara Timur.

Pada Kabinet Indonesia Maju di bawah Presiden Joko Widodo, Kementerian Pariwisata kembali menangani urusan ekonomi kreatif. Sebelumnya, sektor ekonomi kreatif dikelola oleh Badan Ekonomi Kreatif.

Di tahun pertama masa jabatannya, Wishnutama diuji dengan tantangan yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yakni pandemi COVID-19. Beragam rencana pengembangan harus ditunda untuk memprioritaskan kesehatan.

Namun demikian, pertengahan 2020, Kemenparekraf memperkenalkan program Cleanliness, Health, Safety and Environmental Sustainability (CHSE) sebagai bentuk adaptasi sektor pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif di masa pandemi. CHSE juga menjadi faktor penting dari pengembangan pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif agar lebih berkelanjutan.

Sejalan dengan itu, ke depan, industri pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif akan dikembangkan dengan lebih beorientasi pada kualitas. Di sektor pariwisata, salah satu strateginya adalah dengan menyasar segmen wisatawan dengan tingkat pengeluaran tinggi. Adapun di sektor ekonomi kreatif, produk-produk ekspor berdaya saing akan lebih dikembangkan.

Dalam menjalankan tugasnya sebagai seorang menteri, Wishnutama didampingi oleh seorang wakil, Angela Tanoesoedibjo.

Pada saat melakukan reshuffle pada jajaran menteri dalam kabinetnya, Presiden Jokowi memutuskan untuk menunjuk Sandiaga Uno untuk menggantikan posisi Wishnutama sebagai Menteri Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif. Pada kesempatan berjumpa dengan media seusai pelantikan pada Rabu, 23 Desember 2020, Sandiaga mengatakan akan meneruskan program-program yang telah dicanangkan oleh Wishnutama dan fokus pada upaya-upaya membangkitkan industri pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif pasca dilanda krisis akibat pandemi COVID-19.

Kemenparekraf Saat ini

Menghidupkan Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif Era New Normal

Setelah dijabat oleh Wishnutama Kusubandio selama lebih kurang satu tahun, jabatan Menteri Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif beralih pada Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno. Sandiaga ditunjuk Presiden Joko Widodo ketika melakukan reshuffle kabinet di pengujung 2020.

Pada Rabu, 23 Desember 2020, Kemenparekraf menggelar acara serah terima jabatan dari Wishnutama kepada Sandiaga di Balairung Soesilo Soedarman, Gedung Sapta Pesona, Jakarta. Pada hari itu, Sandiaga menyatakan komitmennya untuk meneruskan program-program yang sudah dicanangkan oleh Wishnutama, terutama yang bertujuan membangun kepariwisataan dan ekonomi kreatif Indonesia lebih berkelanjutan sebagai respons terhadap pandemi COVID-19.

Menurut Sandiaga, Presiden Joko Widodo secara khusus memintanya untuk bergerak cepat mengembangkan lima destinasi super prioritas. Pengembangan yang dimaksud meliputi infrastruktur, seni budaya, hingga sumber daya manusia. Kelima destinasi tersebut adalah Labuan Bajo di Nusa Tenggara Timur, Borobudur di Jawa Tengah, Danau Toba di Sumatra Utara, Mandalika di Nusa Tenggara Barat, dan Likupang di Sulawesi Utara.

Sepanjang 2020, Wishnutama telah meletakkan fondasi yang baik dengan mengarahkan pengembangan pariwisata yang berfokus pada kualitas daripada kuantitas. Dari yang semula mengejar angka kunjungan, kini lebih memprioritaskan memberi pengalaman berkesan dan unik bagi wisatawan agar lebih nyaman berlibur di Indonesia sehingga menarik devisa lebih besar. Wishnutama memperkenalkan program Cleanliness, Health, Safety and Environmental Sustainability (CHSE) untuk memberikan kenyamanan bagi para pelaku industri pariwisata dan wisatawan selama dan pascapandemi.

CHSE, yang kini disebut oleh Sandiaga sebagai K4 (Kebersihan, Kesehatan, Keselamatan dan Kelestarian Lingkungan), telah berlangsung hingga hari ini. Hasil yang diharapkan dari penerapan program CHSE adalah pemberian sertifikasi kepada para pelaku usaha di sektor pariwisata. Sertifikasi bisa menjadi jaminan kepada wisatawan dan masyarakat, bahwa produk dan pelayanan yang diberikan sudah memenuhi protokol kesehatan, kebersihan, keselamatan dan kelestarian lingkungan.

Dengan adanya sertifikasi CHSE, masyarakat tidak perlu lagi merasa khawatir untuk melakukan kegiatan wisata. Dengan kata lain, CHSE menjadi faktor terpenting dari pengembangan quality tourism selama masa pandemi COVID-19, bahkan setelah pandemi berlalu.

Kemenparekraf juga meluncurkan Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) yang wajib diterapkan berbagai stakeholder di industri pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif mulai dari hotel, restoran, hingga tempat wisata untuk memastikan mereka menerapkan CHSE.

“Tahun 2021 adalah momentum tahap awal pemulihan kita, tetapi kita harus disiplin dalam melakukan penerapan protokol kesehatan berbasis CHSE. Sosialisasi, program kemitraan, hingga dana hibah akan terus kita lakukan,”

SANDIAGA UNO pada acara Jumpa Pers Akhir Tahun 2020

Sandiaga menekankan tiga strategi utama untuk menghidupkan kembali industri pariwisata adalah melalui inovasi, adaptasi dan kolaborasi. Inovasi dibutuhkan karena dalam waktu singkat perlu ada perubahan yang mendasar dalam pembenahan sektor pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif. Adaptasi juga menjadi faktor yang sangat penting mengingat Indonesia dihadapkan dengan pandemi COVID-19, sehingga industri pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif perlu menerapkan adaptasi kebiasaan baru yakni CHSE. Adapun kolaborasi juga diperlukan karena untuk memulihkan sektor pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif, dibutuhkan keterlibatan semua pihak.

Di sisi ekonomi kreatif, di awal 2021 Kemenparekraf mendorong ekonomi kreatif untuk dikembangkan dengan pendekatan 3G yakni gercep (gerak cepat), geber (gerak bersama) dan gaspol (garap seluruh potensi untuk menyelamatkan lapangan kerja di sektor ini).

Menurut Sandiaga, Kemenparekraf akan memberikan pendampingan dan peningkatan kompetensi bagi para pelaku di 17 subsektor ekonomi kreatif. Hal ini dilakukan agar para pelaku ekonomi kreatif mampu bertransformasi dan beradaptasi di tengah akselerasi digital.

Rencana ini akan melengkapi program pengembangan ekonomi kreatif yang diperkenalkan Wishnutama di masa kepemimpinannya, yakni #BeliKreatifLokal. Gerakan ini bertujuan untuk membantu para pelaku usaha di bidang industri kreatif seperti fesyen, kuliner, dan kriya untuk bangkit kembali setelah terdampak oleh pandemi.

Dalam gerakan #BeliKreatifLokal, Kemenparekraf menggandeng sejumlah pihak seperti Blibli, Gojek, Grab, Bukalapak, Tokopedia, Shopee, Blue Bird, dan KontrakHukum. Kerja sama yang dilakukan meliputi penyaluran penjualan produk melalui platform transportasi daring seperti Gojek dan Grab, hingga marketplace seperti Tokopedia dan Bukalapak. Dalam Gerakan ini, para pelaku usaha kreatif juga akan dibantu untuk melakukan co-branding hingga pendampingan konsultasi hukum untuk pendirian badan hukum usaha.

Program-program Kemenparekraf untuk sektor ekonomi kreatif tersebut tentu sejalan dengan program pemerintah Gerakan Nasional Bangga Buatan Indonesia (Gernas BBI), yang juga didukung oleh 12 kementerian dan lembaga lain di bawah koordinasi Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman dan Investasi. Gernas BBI 2021 diluncurkan di Bali, tepatnya di Bandara Internasional I Gusti Ngurah Rai, pada Senin, 11 Januari 2021.

“Gerakan ini sebagai bentuk kampanye nasional dalam mendorong pelaku UMKM untuk go digital, serta lebih meningkatkan kehadiran produk-produk lokal yang inovatif dan memiliki daya saing tinggi dengan memaksimalkan kearifan lokal sebagai ciri khas,” kata Sandiaga.

Sektor Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif dipercaya mampu berkontribusi lebih banyak lagi untuk PDB nasional dengan potensinya yang sangat besar. Indonesia tidak hanya memiliki kekayaan alam yang indah, namun juga memiliki kekayaan budaya dan kearifan lokal yang beragam mulai dari kuliner nusantara, musik, hingga seni pertunjukan. Dengan lebih dari 199 tarian, 724 bahasa daerah dan 1.340 suku bangsa, Indonesia jelas memiliki daya tarik luar biasa bagi wisatawan dalam hal wisata budaya.

Sementara itu diversifikasi produk dan destinasi wisata yang saat ini sedang dikembangkan lewat destinasi super prioritas di luar Bali, tentu akan menjadi strategi jitu untuk menarik lebih banyak wisawatan ke Indonesia. Dengan pariwisata yang semakin berkembang, industri kreatif yang mengelilingi pariwisata juga diharapkan bisa berkembang lagi di Indonesia.

Logo “Wonderful Indonesia” adalah lima guratan warna yang melengkung dan membentuk Burung Garuda. Logo ini pertama kali diluncurkan secara resmi pada 2008, bersamaan dengan pencanangan program Visit Indonesia Year 2008.

Burung garuda dikenal juga sebagai burung Elang Jawa. Burung ini adalah hewan yang suka berkelompok, hal ini melambangkan hidup damai antarsesama di alam. Sayapnya yang terbentang menunjukkan keterbukaan, hasrat untuk terbang jauh dan melintas batas.

Ada 5 unsur warna yang terdapat dalam logo ini, di antaranya hijau, ungu, jingga, biru dan magenta, dengan makna sebagai berikut:

Seiring berjalannya waktu, logo ini mengalami sejumlah perubahan. Perubahan tidak terjadi pada bentuk burung garuda sebagai ikon, melainkan pada posisi ikon tersebut dengan kata “Visit Indonesia” ataupun kata “Wonderful Indonesia”.

Semula kata “Visit Indonesia” berada di bawah sayap kiri ikon garuda. Pada akhir 2010, ketika pemerintah mengubah kampanye pariwisata dari “Visit Indonesia” menjadi “Wonderful Indonesia”, kata yang terkandung dalam logo ini juga berubah menjadi “Wonderful Indonesia” di posisi yang sama.

Tahun 2012 hingga 2014, kata “Wonderful Indonesia” berada di sisi kanan ekor ikon garuda. Pada 2016, posisi kata bergeser ke sisi kanan ikon garuda. Tahun 2018, kata mengalami reposisi lagi ke sisi kanan sayap ikon garuda. Logo ini bertahan hingga saat ini.

Pada 2020, Menteri Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif Wishnutama Kusubandio memutuskan untuk mengganti logo ini untuk sementara waktu. Keputusan ini sekaligus sebagai respons sektor pariwisata Indonesia terhadap pandemi COVID-19 yang melanda seluruh dunia.

Logo “Wonderful Indonesia” berubah sementara menjadi “Thoughtful Indonesia”. Namun demikian, Wishnutama meyakinkan tidak ada yang berubah dengan branding utama kampanye pariwisata Indonesia. Hanya saja, logo “Thoughtful Indonesia” diperkenalkan sebagai landasan untuk menghadirkan program-program yang thoughtful atau bijaksana – yang disertai dengan empati pada semua pihak di sektor pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif yang terdampak krisis akibat pandemi.

Tahun Kunjungan Indonesia ( Inggris : Visit Indonesia Year ), adalah sebuah rangkaian tahun dalam rangka mempromosikan Indonesia ke industri pariwisata dunia oleh pemerintahan Orde Baru . [1] Ajang ini dianggap sebagai bagian dari Dekade Kunjungan Indonesia ( Inggris : Visit Indonesia Decade ). [2] Ajang tahunan ini diumumkan oleh Soeharto pada awal setiap tahun selama masa kekuasaannya, dan ini adalah kebijakan kepresidenannya yang membuat operasi setiap tahun berjalan dalam proses pemerintahan. Sebagai bagian dari rencana lima tahun 1994/1995 hingga 1999/2000, pemerintah menetapkan target 6.5 juta wisatawan asing, yang diperkirakan dapat membawa US$9 miliar dalam pertukaran asing, dengan 84.2 juta wisatawan domestik menghabiskan Rp9 triliun rupiah. Pemerintah saat itu mengharapkan bahwa pariwisata dapat menciptakan 900,000 lapangan kerja baru. [3]

Tahun pertama adalah Visit Indonesia Year 1991 . [4] Kampanye besar terakhir adalah Visit Indonesia Year 2008 yang diluncurkan untuk memperingati tepat 100 tahun Kebangkitan Nasional Indonesia pada tahun 1908.

DINAMIKA KEPARIWISATAAN INDONESIA

Sejarah perencanaan pengembangan pariwisata Indonesia secara formal dapat dikatakan dimulai sejak dikeluarkannya Instruksi Presiden RI No. 9 Tahun 1969 tentang Pedoman Pembinaan Pengembangan Kepariwisataan Nasional. Usaha-usaha yang dilakukan sesuai dengan pasal 4 Inpres No. 9 Tahun 1969 adalah:

Memelihara/membina keindahan dan kekayaan alam serta kebudayaan masyarakat Indonesia sebagai daya tarik kepariwisataan;
Menyediakan/membina fasilitas-fasilitas transportasi, akomodasi, entertainment dan pelayanan pariwisata lainnya yang diperlukan, termasuk pendidikan kader;
Menyelenggarakan promosi kepariwisataan secara aktif dan efektif di dalam maupun di luar negeri
Mengusahakan kelancaran formalitas-formalitas perjalanan dan lalu-lintas para wisatawan dan demikian menghilangkan unsur-unsur yang menghambatnya;
Mengarahkan kebijaksanaan dan kegiatan perhubungan, khususnya perhubungan udara, sebagai sarana utama guna memperbesar jumlah dan melancarkan arus wisatawan.

Pada tahun tersebut (1969) jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara ke Indonesia telah mencapai 86.000 wisatawan (Yamashita, 2010). Hal ini kemudian ditanggapi dan disikapi secara serius oleh pemerintahan pada saat itu dengan membuat perencanaan induk pengembangan pariwisata untuk pertama kalinya di Indonesia dengan membentuk Bali Tourist Development Corporation (BTDC) pada tahun 1970. Mengapa Bali menjadi pilot project pengembangan pariwisata Indonesia pada saat itu tidak terlepas dari jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara yang pada saat itu jumlahnya melebihi kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara di bagian lain wilyah Indonesia. Bali menjadi terkenal pada masa itu tidak terlepas dari publikasi jurnalis dari Amerika Hickman Powell dalam bukunya The Last Paradise : An American’s ‘ discovery’ of Bali in the 1920s yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1930 yang karena publikasi tersebut jumlah wisatawan yang datang ke Bali berangsur-angsur meningkat dari 11,278 pada tahun 1969 hingga mencapai 2.114.991 (Kemenbudpar, 2010) pada tahun 2008. Momen inilah yang kemudian menjadi titik awal perkembangan kepariwisataan di Indonesia. Pada saat itu ikon perencanaan, pengembangan dan pemasaran pariwasata Indonesia menitikberatkan pada sumber daya alam dan budaya Bali sebagai daya tarik utamanya.

Pengembangan produk pariwisata Indonesia sejak tahun 1970an hingga sekarang telah mengalami berbagai macam metamorfosis dalam upayanya menarik wisatawan untuk datang berkunjung ke Indonesia. Namun selama dalam kurun waktu itu (1970 – 1990) Indonesia mengunggulkan kekayaan alam dan budaya sebagai sumber daya utama produk pariwisata. Hal ini dapat dilihat jika kita menelaah kembali media massa di sekitar tahun 1970 hingga 1980, berbagai “ tagline ” promosi pariwisata Indonesia telah dikumandangkan. “ Indonesia, there is more to it than Bali”, “Indonesia, Bali and Beyond ”, serta “ Indonesia, Bali plus Nine ” yang dihembuskan seiring dengan pembentukan 10 daerah tujuan wisata (DTW) dalam Rencana Pembangungan Lima Tahun (Pelita) III Pariwisata Indonesia.

Pada tahun 1980an Indonesia untuk pertama kali mengkuti World Tourism Market (WTM) menandai dimulainya era promosi produk pariwisata Indonesia secara internasional, seiring dengan lahirnya 7 kebijakan strategi pokok pariwisata dalam Pelita V yakni;

Promosi pariwisata yang konsisten
Penambahan aksesibilitas,
Mempertinggi kualitas pelayanan dan produk pariwisata,
Pengembangan DTW,
Promosi daya tarik alam, satwa dan wisata bahari,Mempertinggi kualitas SDM,
Melaksanakan kampanye sadar wisata melalui Sapta Pesona.

Pada tahun 1992 melalui Keputusan Presiden RI Nomor 60 tahun 1992 ditetapkanlah Dekade Kunjungan Wisata (Dekuni) sebagai bagian kampanye pariwisata Indonesia dengan mengambil tema berbeda setiap tahunnya.

Pemerintah Indonesia pada saat itu telah menyadari potensi sumber daya alam dan budaya yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia untuk dijadikan daya tarik utama pariwisata Indonesia. Hal ini terbukti setelah 41 tahun potensi ini belum berubah berdasarkan laporan World Economic Forum (WEF). Hal lain yang menarik bagi perkembangan pariwisata di Indonesia adalah selama masa itu pariwisata Indonesia belum beranjak dari bayang-bayang Bali sebagai ikon pariwisata Indonesia.

Kampanye promosi produk pariwisata Indonesia secara formal ditandai dengan dicanangkannya “ Visit Indonesia Year (VIY)” pertama kali pada tahun 1991 seiring dengan dikeluarkannya Undang-undang Pariwisata No. 9 tahun 1990, yang dilanjutkan dengan Visit Indonesia Year 1992, 2008, 2009 dan 2010. Pada tahun 1991 kampanye pariwisata Indonesia pada saat itu masih dalam tahap membangunkan kesadaran ( awareness ) masyarakat terhadap kegiatan kepariwisataan melalui program Sapta Pesona (keamanan, ketertiban, kebersihan, kenyamanan, keindahan, keramahan dan kenangan).

Melalui program VIY pada tahun 1991, wisatawan mancanegara (wisman) yang datang ke Indonesia sebesar 2,6 juta dengan jumlah devisa sebesar USD 2,5 milyar. Mencoba mengulang sukses promosi produk pariwisata Indonesia tahun 1991, tahun 1992 kembali dicanangkan Tahun Kunjungan Indonesia dengan mengangkat tema “ Let’s go Archipelago ”. Pada tahun ini kebijakan pengembangan produk pariwisata sudah mencoba mengangkat potensi sumber daya (alam) yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia. Namun pada tahun ini meskipun kunjungan wisatawan internasional menurun akibat pecahnya perang di kawasam Teluk Persia, pariwisata Indonesia mengalami kenaikan sebesar 23% dari tahun 1991 dengan Bali dan Jakarta mendominasi jumlah kunjungan masing-masing sebesar 1.024.231 dan 958.818 wisatawan (Crotts dan Ryan, Chris A. 1997)

Pada tahun 1993 pengembangan produk pariwisata Indonesia mencoba melakukan promosi dengan mengangkat isu “ mass tourism ” dengan dengan merenovasi Bali Beach Bunker yang sekarang dikenal dengan Hotel Grand Bali Beach dimana tempat ini dikenal sebagai bunker pasukan sekutu pada perang dunia II. Setelah 1993, hampir dapat dikatakan promosi pariwisata Indonesia mengalami masa-masa suram akibat gejolak politik di dalam negeri. Beberapa peristiwa penting antara tahun 1995 hingga tahun 2000 yang mempengaruhi kunjungan wisatawan adalah gejolak politik di Timor Timur berupa peristiwa penembakan demonstran pro-kemerdekaan pada Desember 1996 serta peristiwa kejatuhan presiden kedua RI pada tahun 1998.

Pada tahun 2000 pariwisata Indonesia mencatat rekor tertinggi rata-rata lama tinggal wisatawan mancanegara yakni sebesar 12,26 hari dengan jumlah kunjungan wisatawan sebanyak 5,064,217 (Kemenbudpar). Namun pada tahun 2002 pariwisata Indonesia kembali mengalami masa suram akibat kegiatan terorisme dan peristiwa bom Bali pada tanggal 12 Oktober 2002. Peristiwa ini menyebabkan penurunan wisatawan secara drastis di Bali dari 156.923 menjadi 86.901 dan mengurangi secara kumulatif jumlah kunjungan wisman ke Indonesia sebesar 0,21% (BPS). Pada tahun 2005 meskipun Bali dikejutkan kembali dengan ledakan bom untuk kedua kalinya namun pada saat itu dampak yang diakibatkan relatif lebih kecil, mengingat pada saat itu telah muncul sebuah kesadaran di masyarakat dunia terhadap permasalahan dan peristiwa yang berkaitan dengan terorisme.

Tahun 2008 pemerintah kembali mengkampanyekan pariwisata Indonesia dengan kembali menggulirkan Visit Indonesia Year 2008 dengan mengambil tema Kebangkitan Nasional. Pada tahun inilah slogan “ Unity in Diversity ” (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) mulai digaungkan. Meskipun tema yang diangkat belum menggambarkan dengan jelas apa produk pariwisata Indonesa yang hendak dijual. Tahun-tahun ini juga menggambarkan tahun yang berat bagi pariwista Indonesia terutama dengan munculnya isu terorisme di Indonesia. Angka kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara ke Indonesia belum beranjak dari angka “keramat” 6 juta wisatawan, bandingkan dengan Malaysia yang telah mencapai angka 23, 6 juta wisatawan. Hal ini perlu mendapat kajian khusus bagaimana merencanakan strategi pengembangan dan pemasaran produk pariwisata Indonesia.

Pemasangan gambar pada pesawat ini sangat membanggakan karena sangat membawa budaya Toba ke mancanegara terlebih maskapai tersebut menjadi bagian dari perhelatan internasional F 1 Powerboat dimana para a penggemar, peserta dan offisialnya berasal dari berbagai negara.

Namun sebagai anak bangsa, penulis sedikit bertanya dimana keberadaan maskapai nasional kita, tidak hanya pada perhelatan ini saja tetapi sebenarnya juga sebelum sebelumnya seperti MotoGP.

Tidak ada pemasangan gambar ataupun livery khusus untuk memeriahkan perhelatan kelas dunia dimana kita menjadi tuan rumahnya.

Juga mengapa pihak induk badan usaha aviasi dan pariwisata kita yang menjadi bagian dari acara tersebut tidak menyertakan maskapai flag carrier kita melalui subsdiary-nya yang pada kenyataan di bawah kordinasi mereka?

Tapi sudahlah.

Jika kita melihat perhelatan World Cup 2022 yang lalu, maskapai Qatar Airways sangat gencar ikut mempromosikan perhelatan World Cup serta sudah memasang berbagai gambar dan bahkan membuat livery khusus pada beberapa pesawatnya jauh sebelum berlangsungnya perhelatan.

Pertanyaan ini kemudian justru membawa ingatan penulis jauh ke belakang tepatnya ketika hampir seluruh pesawat maskapai flag carrier kita terpampang tulisan sangat besar dan jelas "Visit Indonesia Year".

Program Visit Indonesia Year tersebut memang sudah tergantikan brand-nya dengan Wonderful Indonesia pada tahun 2011, nam un program tahunannya sebenarnya tidak perlu terhenti karena perubahan brand, selain itu dahulunya program ini diselenggarakan setiap tahun sebagai bagian dari program Visit Indonesia Decade.

Setiap tahun tema penyelanggarannya pun berbeda beda, pada tahun 1996 temanya adalah Sea and Air, tahun 1997 Telekomunikasi, tahun 1998 Art and Culture Year dan seterusnya.

Visit Bali Years, Promosi Citra Bali oleh SLINAT

Bali seolah tidak bosan-bosannya menerima kunjungan orang penting dunia.

Pada Maret 2017 lalu, Raja Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud beserta 1.500 rombongannya berkunjung dan membuat heboh seisi negeri. Setelah itu, gantian Barrack Obama yang berkunjung ke Bali selama lima hari sejak 23 Juni 2017 lalu.

Setelah mantan presiden AS yang digantikan oleh Donald Trump itu, Perdana Menteri negara tetangga, Malaysia, Najib Tun Razak pun juga tidak mau ketinggalan untuk mengunjungi Bali.

Citra orang Barat melihat Bali dan masyarakatnya menjadi referensi utama branding pulau Bali di kancah dunia internasional. Citra yang bermula ketika para agen perubahan yang ternyata “pelarian dari Eropa pada Perang Dunia pertama” yaitu Walter Spies dan Miguel Covarrubias dan beberapa seniman kenamaan lainnya yang tiba di Bali pada tahun 1930-an.

Mereka datang, berinteraksi bahkan menetap dan mengembangkan serta menyebarkan citra mereka akan Bali melalui karya-karya mereka kepada dunia internasional.

Citra Barat yang didapat dari citra tokoh-tokoh itulah yang kemudian membuat pemerintah secara serius ingin mengelola dan mengembangkan citra tersebut dalam bentuk pengembangan pariwisata dan Bali menjadi pusatnya. Upaya tersebut dilakukan pemerintah dengan membentuk Bali Tourist Development Corporation (BTDC) pada tahun 1972, yang kemudian diganti namanya menjadi Indonesia Tourist Development Corporation (ITDC) pada tahun 2014.

Bali menjadi pilot project pengembangan pariwisata di Indonesia yang pada saat itu tidak terlepas dari publikasi jurnalis dari Amerika Hickman Powell dalam bukunya The Last Paradise : An American’s ‘ Discovery’ of Bali in the 1920’s yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1930. Karena publikasi tersebut jumlah wisatawan yang datang ke Bali berangsur-angsur meningkat dari 11,278 kunjungan pada tahun 1969 hingga mencapai 2.114.991 kunjungan pada tahun 2008.

Pencapaian hari ini tentu tidak dibangun tanpa usaha, promosi pariwisata yang diawali tahun1930-an dilanjutkan dengan ciamik oleh pemerintah Indonesia. Beberapa jargon pariwisata sebagai promosi menarik perhatian wisatawan pun mulai dilakukan. Media massa di sekitar tahun 1970-an hingga 1980-an di bawah pemerintahan Orde Baru, memunculkan berbagai tagline. Di antaranya “ Indonesia, there is more to it than Bali”, “Indonesia, Bali and Beyond ”, serta “ Indonesia, Bali plus Nine ”. Tagline yang menggunakan nama Bali, walau berkesan untuk mempromosikan daerah lain selain Bali tetapi tetap saja nama Bali muncul sebagai pemikat.

Sampai kemudian tahun 1991, muncul jargon “ Visit Indonesia Year ” yang terus bergulir sampai tahun 2008 kemudian kini beralih menjadi “Wonderful Indonesia” .

Keresahan di Balik Ekspansi

Peningkatan industri pariwisata di Bali tergambar dari peningkatan kunjungan para wisatawan. Pada tahun 2016 kunjungan wisata ke Bali mencapai angka 4,9 juta. Seolah tidak puas dengan pencapaian itu, tahun ini kunjungan wisata ditargetkan menjadi 5,5 juta pengunjung.

Saat kunjungan wisata meningkat maka akan diikuti peningkatan akomodasi pariwisata. Dari yang hanya 1.653 hotel di tahun 2006 menjadi 2.079 hotel pada tahun 2015, dan 4.880 hotel pada tahun 2016.

Pariwisata yang merupakan salah satu bentuk budaya baru ternyata lebih dianak-emaskan pada saat ini. Bahkan sektor pertanian yang merupakan pembentuk budaya Bali sendiripun harus dikorbankan untuk itu.

Laju perkembangan dunia pariwisata ini tak luput dari pengamatan Slinat, seniman jalanan yang tumbuh dan tinggal di Bali. Menyaksikan bagaimana dunia pariwisata berputar dan ternyata tidak bisa dinikmati seluruh masyarakat.

Ibarat sebuah kue, kue ini dimasak oleh masyarakat yang secara teguh menjalankan dan mempertahankan tradisi budayanya. Namun, mereka merupakan lapisan paling kecil bahkan bisa jadi berakhir dengan tidak mendapatkan kue yang mereka buat.

Gambaran masyarakat oleh orang Bali ini seolah telah memberikan sugesti kepada orang Bali sehingga mereka merasa harus bersikap seperti apa yang telah dicitrakan. Walaupun sudah tidak bertelanjang dada, tetapi tetap harus harmonis mempertahankan tradisi. Tidak boleh ada sedikit pun gejolak. Tidak boleh ada sedikitpun penolakan karena itu akan merusak citra Bali.

Orang Bali harus tersenyum menampilkan semua yang indah dan mengubur luka. Keindahan sawah terasiring yang permai walau akhirnya para petani kebingungan ketika penjualan hasil panen tidak menutup ongkos produksi. Sunset yang indah walau sampah berjubel di bibir pantai. Prosesi upacara adat yag megah walau untuk membuatnya tidak jarang harus meminjam uang ke sana kemari. Berpura-pura bahagia sambil terus berteriak “Jaen Hidup di Bali (enak hidup di Bali)”

Melihat situasi tersebut, Slinat menampilkan kegerahan dan kegeraman tentang bagaimana industri ini telah memanfaatkan tradisi dan budaya Bali untuk kepentingan mereka sediri dalam beberapa karyana.

Diawali pada tahun 2011, secara lugas Slinat menumpahkan dalam sebuah karya stensil gadis Bali lengkap dengan Bunga Jepun (kamboja) di telinga dengan tagline “ Take My Picture and Say That My Culture is Beautiful”. Lokasinya di salah satu dinding bangunan di tengah Kota Denpasar. Karya itu menyoroti bagaimana selama ini industri pariwisata hanya mengambil citra keindahan Bali tanpa mempedulikan budaya itu Bali itu sendiri.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SILLY IN ART (@slinat)

Tidak hanya gadis Bali yang cantik dengan berhias bunga kamboja, Slinat juga menampilkan wanita Bali di zaman dahulu (yang masih bertelanjang dada) dengan masker kamp konsentrasi Nazi era perang Dunia II. Media yang digunakan juga beragam, mulai dari stensil, poster, stiker dan yang cukup popular tentu saja mural besar di Pasar Kumbasari yang dibuat dalam acara bertajuk “Bali yang Binal” di tahun 2015.

“Bayangkan jika dulu gambar seperti ini yang dilihat dan dipublikasikan oleh orang asing, apakah mereka akan menganggap Bali itu indah?” demikian kata yang dilontarkan pada saya ketika ditanya ketika karyanya.

Ketika pada tahun 1930-an, orang-orang asing tiba dan melihat wanita menggendong seorang anak dengan bertelanjang dada dan menggunakan masker, tentu bukan surga terakhir yang akan ada dikepala mereka. Bisa jadi gambaran yang muncul adalah neraka yang lain. Citra Bali tidak akan seindah sekarang. Adat tradisi akan berjalan apa adanya tanpa tuntutan harus megah, dan semakin semakin megah untuk mengakomodir kerakusan pemodal industri pariwisata.

Selama kurun waktu sekitar 6 tahun Slinat mengamati dan menumpahkan keresahan (jika tidak mau disebut kegeraman) dalam karya-karyanya. Karya yang akan dipamerkan di Uma Seminyak, Jl. Kayu Cendana No. 1, Oberoi Seminyak-Kuta. Solo Exhibition yang bertajuk “X VISIT BALI YEAR X” show, pameran ini akan menampilkan sekitar 31 karya yang menyoroti bagaimana perkembangan industri pariwisata di pulau ini.

Pameran yang akan diselenggarakan di salah satu area favorit yang sering dikunjungi para wisatawan asing ini, seolah ingin merekonstruksi citra tentang Bali yang selama ini telah terbangun sejak tahun 1930-an. Citra orang asing yang selalu memuja dan memuji Bali, citra Barat yang disebarkan lewat media tulisan, seni lukis bahkan kartu pos.

Mengambil tagline buatan Orde Baru ( Visit Indonesia Year ) yang bertahan sampai masa reformasi diparodikan menjadi Visit Bali Years yang tujuannya sama, mempromosikan Bali melalui seni (termasuk didalamnya kartu pos). Hanya saja, promosi Bali yang akan dilakukan Slinat kali ini berdasarkan citra realita yang terjadi di Bali, realita yang selama ini ditutup-tutupi agar Bali masih menjadi “ Master Piece of God “.

Pameran ini akan berlangsung pada 1–17 Juli 2017. Pada saat pembukaannya, para pengunjung dapat menikmati promosi citra Bali yang apa adanya dengan ditemani senandung musik blues oleh Made mawut dan dendang folk dari Qupit Nosstress serta tidak mau kalah hentakan beat dari Madness On Tha Block dan Koes Min.

Jadi sampai jumpa disana, Kawan…

Mari terbangun dari peninaboboan kata-kata manis Bali eksotik, surga terakhir dan berbagai kata manis lainnya. Cukuplah mencuci muka karena eksploitasi industri pariwisata terhadap budaya dan alam Bali akan tergambar jelas. Hanya saja kita masih terlalu enggan untuk mengakuinya. [b]

When's the Best Time of Year to Visit Indonesia?

Pink beach, Komodo National Park, Indonesia

The extensive, far-reaching archipelago of Indonesia welcomes everyone for any kind of adventure imaginable. Discover the best time of year to visit Indonesia according to your objectives, or use our guide to decide where to go during your available time.

You’ve had it on your bucket list for a long time now. Diving in Raja Ampat, party in Bali, see orangutans in Sumatra, and other adventures Indonesia has to offer. The equatorial country may be fabled for its year-long tropical sunshine, but like everywhere else there’s a season for everything to make the best out of your trip. Increase your odds at planning a fruitful experience by knowing what to expect in each month of the year.

January is the wettest month in many localities in Indonesia, including Java, Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi, even Bali and other islands in the region. Many tour operators in Komodo and other island destinations choose to close during this time, as boat trips can be challenging and not pleasant. It’s also best to not plan a hiking tour in January, as paths can be slippery, and the glorious sunrise may not be visible due to the overcast morning. Some scuba diving spots may have poorer visibility during this time, but in contrast, the far-flung Raja Ampat in Papua has distinctively calmer and clearer waters during the earlier months of the year.

Rainfall: 18 days

Temperature: 79℉ (26℃)

February may not be the ideal month to realise your dream beach or island-hopping vacation in Indonesia. However, rainfalls and raging seas are subsiding in some regions, especially in the northern coasts. North Sumatra and North Sulawesi see a perceivable drop in rainfalls this month, giving tourists a window to experience the rainforest’s vibrant wildlife without having to worry about the crowd, that is, if you don’t mind the risk of getting caught in light rain. Islands in Nusa Tenggara – Lombok, Komodo, Sumba, etc. – experience less frequent and less intense rain compared to Bali, so opting for these islands may reward you with a slightly sunnier island adventure. Plus, the famed Pasola festival in Sumba and Bau Nyale in Lombok is usually held in February, so there’s another reason to go further east from Bali this month.

Rainfall: 16 days

Temperature: 80℉ (27℃)

The transition between monsoon and sunny weather happens in March. Rainfalls continue to decrease in most areas, led by the archipelago’s northern parts. Stretches of emerald and green appear fresh and shiny in the highlands across the country, especially as the month rolls on. On March’s hottest days, the temperature may reach 91℉ (33°C), so pack your summer clothes and sun protection along with a raincoat or umbrella for the intermittent sudden rains. Visiting temples and exploring heritage towns in Java is now significantly more pleasant as the chance of rain has dropped and the tropical heat is not yet at its peak. March holds one of the most important holidays for Balinese Hindu, the Caka New Year. During the New Year’s week, various festivals and rituals are held throughout the island, including the peculiar Nyepi Day, or Balinese Day of Silence.

Rainfall: 13 days

This is the month where divers, surfers, and beach babes in general are most drawn to book their trip to Indonesia’s best island paradises. Favourable diving conditions are to be expected in Bali, Lombok, Komodo, and the Gili Islands. The second half of April also marks the start of long-awaited surfing season in Bali, Mentawai, and Nusa Tenggara, among other destinations. During this month, the southern parts of the archipelago are expected to be slightly warmer with less rainfalls than the north. That means the weather is finally conducive enough to explore the highlands of Toraja, the beaches and jungles of Lampung, and any other southern towns in Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi. In general, temperatures are already rising as sunny days become more frequent throughout the country.

Rainfall: 12 days

The start of full-on dry season opens up more opportunities for explorations and adventures across the archipelago. May can also be perceived as an ideal month to visit mainstream destinations like Java and Bali, a full month away before summer holiday and high season, so you’ll see fewer tourists and lower rates for travels and hotels. The nation’s Buddhist population observe Vesak day in May, with Borobudur temple in Yogyakarta holding the most festive celebration that involves pilgrimage and a lantern festival you don’t want to miss. It’s still an ideal season for diving, surfing, and island adventures, and now also a wonderful time to start hiking and trekking.

Rainfall: 8 days

Temperature: 82-84℉ (28-29℃)

Tourists begin to swarm the more popular destinations like Java and Bali, but it’s not the peak season yet, which usually starts in July. Sunny days and lower humidity can be expected across the country, especially the southern part. June is one of the hottest months in some areas, such as North Sumatra and Java, but no matter where you go don’t forget to pack sunscreen and light breathable clothes. The weather conditions are favourable to go up the mountains or down into the ocean. In many areas like Komodo and Gili Islands, marine life is at its liveliest as the waters are getting warmer and calmer, while better visibility makes diving and snorkelling more rewarding.

One of the biggest holidays in the country, Eid al Fitr, changes date every year but this decade it falls somewhere between April and July. If you’re travelling around this holiday, keep yourself informed on the things that may change during Ramadan, a full month preceding a big feast on Eid.

Rainfall: 5 days

Temperature: 82-86℉ (28-30℃)

Padar Island, part of the Komodo Islands

High season is in full swing. Be sure to book your travels, hotels, and tickets beforehand, especially if you’re going for popular summer destinations like Bali. The excellent weather coincides with European summer holidays and school holidays in the country, creating a mix of youths and tourist families, foreign and domestic alike. Get ready to fight the crowds for the perfect spot to view sunrise in touristy volcanoes or to take a decent picture in Bali’s splendid temples. Luckily, July is also an excellent time to venture off the beaten path, with the dry weather making it easier to go off track and into the wild. Go to the national parks to observe wildlife, meet orangutans in Sumatra, birdwatch in Sulawesi, or trek through the rainforest. The generally sunny and warm weather is also perfect to visit Mount Bromo and witness the Tengger Yadnya Kasada ritual.

Rainfall: 4 days

The peak season continues until at least the first half of August. Booking ahead is still necessary, especially if you’re going to touristy localities like Bali or Java. Due to the excellent sunny weather, island destinations like Lombok, Komodo, and Gili Islands will be packed and it’s not unheard of for tours and accommodations to be fully booked. The rather centralised tourism activities in the southern parts of the archipelago make August a good time to venture off to the less-travelled. Charming highlands like Bukittinggi in Sumatra or Toraja in Sulawesi stay relatively cool due to the geography, making excellent travel choices if you mind the scorching tropical heat. Bonus point: Toraja is particularly lively with its notorious funeral ceremonies during this month.

August 17 marks Indonesia’s Independence Day, and celebrations can be observed across the country. You’ll be welcomed to join in some traditional games and events held in any given neighbourhood, or even participate in flag ceremony. Celebrating Independence Day at a mountain’s summit is also a popular activity among locals. If you don’t mind the crowd, hearing the national anthem echoing to the skies with breathtaking views would be an unforgettable experience. Aim for popular hikeable volcanoes like Mount Prau, Mount Pangrango, or Mount Semeru if you’re an avid hiker.

Rainfall: 3 days

Temperature: 86℉ (30℃)

Favourable for outdoor adventures in most localities as the number of tourists continues to decrease. September, especially the second half of the month, is a particularly good window to visit some popular destinations like Java, Bali, and the lesser Sunda islands (Lombok, Komodo, Gili Islands, Sumba, etc.). The hottest days in September may reach 93℉ (34℃) especially in Java and Sulawesi, while other regions may see slightly cooler temperatures. However, if you’re going to the highlands or rainforests, the mix of sunny weather and lush natural surroundings create a balmy condition favoured by a range of wildlife, making September one of the best months to spot orangutans in Borneo or Sumatra.

If you’re planning on hiking glorious volcanoes in Java, Bali, or Lombok, October is your last chance before the rainy season kicks in again. Same goes for diving, as the seas may be more turbulent after this. North Sumatra and some other northern localities may already be seeing downpours that will continue to travel through the archipelago in the upcoming months. The chance of rain increases as the month rolls on, so you should make the best out of the earlier days of the month. Rainfalls may come intermittently in short periods, so be advised to take an umbrella or raincoat if you’re going outdoors, no matter how sunny it looks when you head out.

Rainfall: 7 days

By November, the rainy season has already arrived in most parts of the country. Tourism is in hibernation even in Indonesia’s most popular island paradise Bali and its surroundings. Travelling with boats and ferries may become much more challenging although not downright impossible, so it’s best to keep islands like Komodo or other Nusa Tenggara islets out of the itinerary. A pleasant and surprising exception awaits for those who don’t mind venturing to the far-flung Maluku or Papua (where Raja Ampat Islands is located), which have an inverted wet season to the rest of the country. Both regions have exotic islands and vibrant diving spots but are much less touristy than the Nusa Tenggara islands due to the geography and more expensive fares.

Temperature: 81-82℉ (27-28℃)

Ora Beach Resort, Seram Island, Central Maluku, Indonesia

Intense downpours are to be expected at this point, especially in Java, Bali, and Sulawesi. Road conditions will be affected by the rain, so be extra careful when you’re driving off the main roads in main cities. Sea conditions get even rougher in many areas, so you may want to keep your feet on the ground, exploring cities or villages, eating, observing, and shopping your way around. Despite holding the largest Muslim population in the world, Christmas is still a major holiday in Indonesia, especially in Manado, where the population is predominantly Christian. The festivities can also be seen throughout Maluku and some main parts of Papua, which are still seeing a lot of sunny days despite the rest of the country being drenched in heavy rain. December is still an excellent month to go island-hopping and diving in Raja Ampat or Maluku islands.

Rainfall: 15 days

Temperature: 81℉ (27℃)

The Best Time of Year to Visit Indonesia | Complete Travel Guide

Indonesia is a country located in Southeast Asia. It consists of more than 17,000 islands, making it the largest archipelago in the world. Indonesia has a population of over 261 million people, making it the fourth most populous country in the world. The country has a rich culture and history and is home to many different ethnic groups. Indonesia is also a major tourist destination, with millions of visitors each year. The country is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning temples, and varied wildlife. Indonesia is a fascinating country with much to offer visitors and residents alike.

Indonesia is a country of vast cultural and natural wonders. From the bustling streets of Jakarta to the stunning temples of Bali, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The best time of year to visit Indonesia

If you’re interested in exploring the country’s rich history and diverse culture, the best time to visit Indonesia is during the dry season, from April to October. During this time, weather conditions are ideal for touring ancient temples, visiting traditional villages, and exploring the country’s many national parks.

If you’re more interested in soaking up the sun and enjoying Indonesia’s world-famous beaches, the best time to visit is during the wet season, from November to March. Although rain showers are common during this time of year, they generally don’t last long and often occur in the late afternoon or evening. As a result, you can still enjoy plenty of sunny days at the beach.

The Best Time of Year to Visit Indonesia | Complete Travel Guide

The best month to go to Bali

The best time to visit Bali depends on your preferences. For those looking to enjoy the beach, the best months are April to October when the weather is sunny and dry. April and May offer the best surfing conditions, while June to September provide calm seas ideal for swimming and snorkeling.

October is also a good time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds as it is outside of the peak tourist season. For those wanting to explore Bali’s natural beauty, the best time to go is between February and March when the rains have cleared and the air is fresh. This is also an excellent time for birdwatching as many migratory birds can be seen during this period. Regardless of when you choose to go, Bali is sure to provide an unforgettable experience.

When you should not go to Bali

Although Bali is a popular destination for tourists, there are certain times when it is best to avoid visiting the island. The rainy season can cause flooding and landslides. If you are planning to visit Bali during this time, it is important to check the weather forecast in advance and be prepared for delays and disruptions.

In addition, the months of June and July see an influx of Australian tourists fleeing the winter cold. As a result, prices for accommodation and activities tend to be higher than usual. If you are looking to avoid the crowds and save money, it is best to visit Bali outside of these peak months.

The rainy season in Bali

The rainy season in Bali runs from October to March, with the heaviest rains typically falling between December and February. While the wet weather can be a nuisance for tourists attempting to enjoy the island’s beaches and resorts, it is essential for farmers who rely on the rains to water their crops. Rice is the most important crop in Bali, and the rains play a crucial role in ensuring a good harvest. Furthermore, the rains help to replenish groundwater levels and maintain the island’s lush tropical vegetation. While the wet weather can be a hassle, it is an essential part of life in Bali.

The weather in Indonesia

Indonesia is a tropical country which means it has a warm climate all year round, with average temperatures ranging from 22 to 32 degrees Celsius. The country experiences two main seasons: the wet season and the dry season. The wet season occurs from October to April, while the dry season takes place from May to September.

During the wet season, rainfall is heavy and widespread, leading to floods and landslides in some areas. The dry season is generally more pleasant, with sunny days and low humidity levels. However, wildfires are also common during this time of year. Overall, Indonesia’s weather is variable but typically warm and humid.

The hottest month in Indonesia

The hottest month in Indonesia is October when average temperatures range from 27-31 degrees Celsius. However, there can be significant variation among different regions of the country. For example, the resort island of Bali generally has cooler temperatures than other parts of Indonesia due to its location near the equator. As a result, visitors should be prepared for different weather conditions depending on where they travel within the country.

Because of its location, Indonesia experiences warm weather all year round. However, that doesn’t mean that the country doesn’t have weather seasons. The country experiences two main seasons: the wet season and the dry season. During the wet season, rainfall is common and flooding can occur in some areas. The dry season is generally drier and cooler, although temperatures can still reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in some parts of the country. As a result, Indonesia does experience distinct weather seasons, despite its tropical location.

Some parts of Indonesia do experience colder temperatures, particularly in the highlands. For example, Mount Bromo in East Java has an average temperature of just 10 degrees Celsius. In addition, the temperature can drop even lower at night, so visitors to Mount Bromo should be prepared for cold weather. Indonesia also has several glaciers, such as those found on Mount Rinjani and Mount Tambora. These glaciers are very cold all year round, with temperatures that can dip below zero. As a result, Indonesia is a country with a wide range of temperatures, from hot and humid to cool and icy.

PENYELENGGARAAN VISIT INDONESIA YEAR

Lazimnya, hasil dari program VIY yang diharapkan adalah:

Meningkatnya Arus Kunjungan Wisman (W);
Meningkatnya Masa Tinggal Wisman (T); dan syukur-syukur
Belanja Wisman ($) per harinya juga meningkat, sehingga hasil akhir yang diharapkan itu adalah “Meningkatnya Total Penerimaan Pariwisata (WxTx$)” dari keadaan pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya.

Menilik hakekat dari motivasi para wisatawan untuk berkunjung adalah adanya sesuatu yang menarik untuk dilihat dan/atau dinikmati dan dialami sendiri, yaitu yang kita kenal sebagai Daya tarik (atraksi, attraction ). Daya tarik ini bisa berupa Obyek Wisata ( site attraction ) dan Peristiwa Wisata ( event attraction ) atau disebut juga sebagai acara wisata yang tersusun dalam suatu Kalender Acara ( Calendar of Events ). Di samping itu, tidak kalah menariknya adalah berbagai daya tarik lain seperti daya tarik budaya ( cultural attraction ) yang berupa adat istiadat, gaya hidup, tatacara bertani, tatacara berbicara / komunikasi, serta daya tarik lingkungan yang terdiri dari “suasana” keakraban, ketertiban, keamanan, kebersihan, kenyamanan, keindahan, dsb.

Agar destinasi wisata menjadi lebih memikat, seringkali di suatu obyek wisata tertentu diselenggarakan peristiwa-peristiwa seni, budaya, pameran, perlombaan (seperti olahraga, merangkai bunga, menari, menyanyi, MTQ, dsb). Dalam kaitan dengan penyelenggaraan Visit Year , diupayakan adanya peristiwa wisata yang cukup banyak agar kedatangan wisatawan sedapat mungkin berlangsung sepanjang tahun. Upaya meningkatkan arus kunjungan wisatawan tanpa penyelenggaraan Calendar of Events yang mempesona dan memikat, tidak mustahil akan membuahkan hasil yang mengecewakan, minimal tidak memenuhi harapan, untuk tidak disebut gagal. Pada hakekatnya, Calendar of Events merupakan upaya “memperkaya daya tarik” bagi para wisatawan sebagai motivasi untuk berkunjung ke suatu negara atau destinasi di negara tersebut. Sebaiknya penyelenggaraan events dikelompokkan berdasarkan besarnya, luasnya keterlibatan masyarakat, serta tingkatan kepentingannya (nasional, propinsi, kabupaten /kota). Kelompok event dimaksud lazimnya disebut sebagai Acara Inti ( Core Event ), Acara Besar ( Major Events ) dan Acara Pendukung ( Supporting Events ). Oleh karena itu, penyelenggarannya memerlukan suatu perencanaan dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai hal, antara lain:

Waktu (tanggal, bulan, tahun) dan tempat penyelenggaraan “yang pasti”, serta uraian tentang acaranya, yang kesemuanya sangat berkaitan dengan penetapan waktu dan tempat yang tepat untuk promosi;
Waktu kedatangan wisatawan yang diharapkan akan terjadi, yang terkait juga dengan perencanaan waktu dan tempat yang tepat bagi kegiatan promosi;
Jumlah wisatawan yang diharapkan datang, masa tinggal rata-rata sangat perlu untuk diperhitungkan mengingat kaitannya dengan “kapasitas (daya tampung) hotel” dan akomodasi lainnya yang tersedia dan/atau penambahannya di kala perlu;
Kapasitas angkutan wisata yang tersedia dan tambahan yang dibutuhkan bagi keperluan mendatangkan wisatawan dari berbagai tempat asal, memberangkatkan kembali ke berbagai tujuan, serta mendistribusikannya ke berbagai obyek wisata atau lokasi peristiwa wisata dsb. di dalam destinasi yang bersangkutan;
Koordinasi, keterpaduan penyelenggaraannya bersama berbagai instansi dan/atau lembaga pemangku kepentingan serta industri pariwisata, para pelaku kegiatan ekonomi, serta masyarakat pada umumnya sehingga penyelenggaraan Visit Year merupakan karya bersama dari berbagai pihak yang saling menunjang dan saling menguntungkan;
Pra-kiraan cuaca bukanlah hal yang kurang penting untuk dipertimbangkan;
Kesemuanya itu sangat menentukan dalam hal persiapan, penyusunan, pencetakan dan penyebaran bahan-bahan promosi yang perlu dilakukan jauh sebelum Tahun Kunjungan ( Visit Year ) tersebut diselenggarakan.

Sebagaimana banyak pihak mengutarakan, penyelenggaraan promosi selalu tidak dapat diharapkan memberikan hasil seketika ( instant ), namun selalu terdapat kesenjangan waktu antara terselenggaranya promosi dengan pelaksanaan kunjungan wisatawan itu. Oleh karenanya, promosi mengenai acara semacam Visit Year , sangat dianjurkan untuk dilakukan jauh sebelumnya, lebih jauh – lebih baik, asalkan dilakukan intensif, ekstensif dan konsisten, sedikitnya satu tahun dimuka. Dengan beberapa pertimbangan tersebut di atas, diharapkan penyelenggaraan Visit Year tidak menimbulkan berbagai dampak negatif pada destinasi yang bersangkutan, antara lain:

Pengeluaran biaya yang tidak kecil itu, bisa menjadi sia-sia (mubazir);
Terjadinya kekecewaan atau ketidak puasan di antara para wisatawan yang pada gilirannya berdampak “ counter promotion ” atau “promosi yang berdampak negatif” di antara mereka terhadap destinasi yang bersangkutan;

Kekecewaan itu bisa terjadi antara lain akibat:

Waktu, dan tempat penyelenggaraan tidak pasti;
Kurangnya kamar hotel akibat kurang perhitungan;
Destinasi tidak mudah dicapai karena kurangnya kapasitas daya angkut (airlines, kapal, bus dsb.);
Kondisi angkutan kurang nyaman, obyek wisata kurang terpelihara, acara tidak tepat waktu, pelayanan informasi kurang (-lengkap, -jelas, -akurat), keamanan terganggu, pelayanan tidak ramah dsb., tidak seperti yang dipromosikan.

numpang liat-liat tulisannya, thanks

numpang nanya, mumpung banyak provinsi atau kota yang mempromosikan daerahnya melalui kegiatan Visit Year, tidak adakah standard-isasi program Visit Year ? fungsinya untuk melihat kesiapan suatu daerah terhadap program yang bertujuan mendatangkan banyak wisatawan melalui event-event ini. kesiapan itu mungkin bisa diukur melalui poin-poin di paragraf terakhir dari artikel ini..

Chinese New Year in Indonesia

Indonesia is known for being a diverse nation; while most of its population is not Chinese, the country still celebrates Chinese New Year. It is a significant event in their country, and before the celebrations, some preparations will take place. You will see markets that sell clothing, fireworks, toys, and gifts. The Chinese people feel very festive during this time, and they give gifts to each other.

The Overview of Indonesia Chinese New Year Holiday

There are many facets to the beliefs and traditions of the Chinese that they are celebrated around the world. Even if you are just visiting, you will not get bored with the celebrations.

If you want to celebrate Chinese New Year in Indonesia, you must learn more about it from here.

What is the Chinese New Year in Indonesia All About?

Imlek is the local term they use for the Chinese New Year. The Chinese Indonesians did not have the freedom to celebrate the new year in the past because they were culturally restricted. It became a reflection of how they handled discrimination throughout the years. It was in the year 2000 when the ban was lifted because President Abdurrahman Gus Dur overturned it. After that, Megawati Soekarnoputri issued a decree in 2002 which made it a national public holiday in Indonesia.

The people who consider it a religious celebration still follow all the rituals like using incense to pray to the gods and ancestors and offer things at the shrine.

Those who see it as a custom celebrate it by reuniting with their family and exchanging red envelopes.

There are regions where culture and religion are mixed like churches holding special masses for Imlek.

Usually, people wear new clothes on the Chinese New Year, and they are typically red. They believe that red protects them from misfortune and bad spirits. They purchase new clothes for themselves, their children, parents, and elders. That is why shopping malls have midnight sales during this time to cater to those who want to shop for new clothes before the Imlek celebration begins.

How to Celebrate Chinese New Year in the Indonesia and Things You Can Do

People in Indonesia celebrate Imlek by going to parades and watching dragon dances in different communities. People want to bring good fortune and prosperity in the coming year. A lot of people will give time to their friends and family. It is an unofficial national holiday, which means the businesses and government are open.

There are many things you can do during the Chinese New Year in Indonesia, like:

You can find Chinese ornaments in Glodok – On regular days, the Chinatown in Jakarta is where you can go to purchase electronics for lower prices. Before Imlek starts, this place gets busier because they will start selling Chinese ornaments such as pink sakura tree imitation, and red lanterns.
Watch the Acrobatic Barongsai and Liong – Before Chinese New Year, the shopping malls in Jakarta decorate their properties and holding festivals that sell delicious and festive Chinese food. They also feature the Barongsai and Liong, which is a Chinese lion and dragon dance. Clashing cymbals and drums accompany the dance while they move from one pillar to another.
Release a bird – You can do this at Vihara Dhara Bakti, which is a Chinese temple, and worshippers and rituals are being practised. You can go to the Glodok area, and find people releasing sparrows because they believe it gains them merit. This is called ‘fang shen’, and you can also buy live sparrows to release them. The belief is that by freeing these creatures, you will have better luck in life.

How the Chinese New Year in Indonesia is Celebrated

When they prepare for the festivities of Chinese New Year, they do it in advance before the date. While the year comes to an end, the ethnic Chinese organize everything and take care of unfinished business to anticipate starting the New Year right. The business owners balance books and take care debts by paying them or collecting from people who owe them.

Those who cannot pay off what they owe spend their pre-New Year time avoiding Jakarta malls, hiding in their homes and temples. In ancient times, the debt collectors looking for debtors by putting their lanterns up until midnight. They consider it vulgar to mention about debts During the Chinese New Year, which is why they want to settle it before the holiday. If they can resolve it before Imlek, then they can start fresh.

On the New Year day itself, they consume more food because cooking on New Year’s Day is considered bad luck. Hence, they prepare it in advance.

Since 2014, their favourite festive activities are the potehi puppet show, releasing thousands of lanterns, music and cultural performances, culinary and handicrafts fair, and a fashion show of traditional Chinese dresses known as the cheongsam.

Venues and Special Events for Celebrating the Chinese New Year in Indonesia

Surakarta, Central Java – This is a Javanese-style celebration that lasts a week, and it is called the Grebeg Sudiro or Solo, and it is before the Chinese New Year’s Day.

Chinese New Year Celebrations in Indonesia

Barongsai, the Lion Dance, performed throughout the New Year season

Although Chinese New Year was not a national holiday on the Indonesian calendar for many years, beginning in 2002, Chinese New Year became a national holiday, to the pleasure of millions of Chinese Indonesians.

Chinese New Year is a time to show respect for those that have passed away and to reunite with family members. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the family's fortune. Although customs may vary across the archipelago and even from family to family according to social position, many customs or versions of them are still observed by the ethnic Chinese community in Indonesia today.

Within the ethnic Chinese community there are immigrants from many regions throughout China. Distinctively different Chinese communities are found in Pontianak for example, when compared to Medan or even Jakarta. Each of these immigrant communities brought the unique traditions of their hometowns to Indonesia. This diversity in origins explains the diversity in the way Chinese New Year is celebrated by communities throughout the Indonesian archipelago.

History of Chinese New Year

There are several theories as to the origins of the Chinese New Year. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. Each lunar year is represented by one of 12 animals. This calendar is also called the Chinese Zodiac. The current Chinese lunar calendar was developed during the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-907), with a lunar cycle of 29.5 days. The Chinese insert an extra month once every two to three years to compensate for the differences between the lunar calendar and the solar movements, similar to adding an extra day for leap year. This is why the Chinese New Year falls on a different day each year.

The word 'Nian' meaning 'year' in Chinese is also the name of a monster that preyed on people the night before the beginning of the New Year. A popular myth describes Nian as having a large mouth, able to swallow people whole. Villagers in China were all scared of the Nian monster. One day, an old man confronted Nian and said, “I hear that you are capable of eating all the people but they are not worthy opponents for you. You should swallow other beasts of prey.” The monster heeded the old man's advice. He stopped harassing the villagers and went after other beasts of prey instead, forcing them to retreat into the forest in fear of Nian.

The old man turned out to be an immortal god. Before he left he instructed the people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at the year's end to scare away Nian if he should come back, as red is the color Nian feared the most. From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian has been carried on in Chinese communities around the world. It is also thought that setting off firecrackers would scare away Nian. Although many ethnic Chinese in Indonesia may have forgotten the origins of these customs, they still celebrate the holiday with red decorations on their homes and use firecrackers to add to the excitement of the celebrations.

Preparations for Chinese New Year

Preparations for Chinese New Year festivities in Indonesia begin well in advance of the actual date. As the year draws to a close, ethnic-Chinese tie up loose ends and put things in order in anticipation of beginning the New Year with a fresh start and a clean slate. Business people balance their books and collect or pay debts that are owed.

All cleaning and sweeping must be completed before New Year's Day, with the brooms and brushes out of the house prior to the dawn of the New Year. Otherwise the family believes they will have bad luck and a year of work and drudgery. Sweeping cannot be done on New Year's Day for fear that good fortune would be swept away.

In some very superstitious families it is believed that sweeping is allowed on the second day of the New Year, however the sweeping of the dust must be done towards the center of the room. Then, the collected dust must be put into the corners of the room and not taken or thrown out until the fifth day of the New Year when it can be thrown away via the back door. If the dirt is discarded in this way, no harm will befall the family. At no time should this dust be trampled on, as it will cause bad luck. It is thought that if you sweep dirt over the threshold you will also sweep one of the family members away.

Children celebrate their ethnic heritage by wearing traditional Chinese dress

Shopping is a major part of the pre-celebration preparations. Historically, New Year's Day was one of a few days in the year when the hard working Chinese peasants allowed themselves a day of rest. Since it was everybody's day of rest, including the shop owners, all shopping had to be done prior to New Year's Eve. In Indonesia, most shop owners observe the Chinese New Year by closing their shop for 3 or 5 days. The normally vibrant Chinese business districts in cities across Indonesia become quiet, with shuttered shops the norm. Shop owners would never close for 4 days as this number, when verbalized, sounds like the Chinese word for death, therefore bringing their business bad luck.

Gift Giving

It is common to exchange gifts during the holiday season, so many ethnic-Chinese go on a buying frenzy in preparation for the gift exchange. The gift and its value depend on the social status of the giver and the receiver. Costly or exotic foods or a specially prepared food that has some symbolic meaning are common gifts.

Flowers are also considered an auspicious gift, as they brighten the house of the recipient. The Chinese know that without flowers there would be no formation of fruit, so it is very important to have flowers and floral decorations in the home during the holiday season. Flowers are thought to be the emblems of the reawakening of nature, and are intimately connected with superstitions and with the wish for happiness during the ensuing year. Blooming plants are also a symbol of rebirth and new growth. Small tangerine or orange trees symbolizing abundant happiness, and white Jonquils or Narchssus are favorite gifts within the Chinese community in Indonesia.

Temples are laden with offerings for the New Year holidays

According to tradition, families should wear new clothing during the festivities. Chinese believe that the appearance and attitude of a person on New Year's Day sets the tone for the coming year. People often choose to wear red clothing, a bright and happy color that will ensure the wearer a bright future.

New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve family members gather to observe the customs and share a traditional meal. Family members come from across town or across the Indonesian archipelago to welcome in the New Year together, usually at the home of the eldest family member.

According to custom, the male head of the family leads the family in making offerings to various house gods and family ancestors. Respect is paid to the god of wealth and the gods of the well, bed, hearth and other gods who the family wants to remain on good terms with. The offerings are usually a variety of foods, cakes and fruits placed on an offering table, placed outside the house. While holding the incense in both hands, each family member would 'pai-pai' (bow down) three times to show respect and honor for the house gods. Then the incense is placed in a holder on the offering table and family members bow again to show respect and ask permission to enter the house.

Family members are expected to show respect to their ancestors by lighting incense and bowing in front of the offering table. It is even more respectful if one kneels down in front of the table. Only after respect has been paid to the ancestors can you continue with the evening's festivities. Chinese around the world believe that the spirits of the loved ones are in attendance during the evening's celebrations. When ancestor worship rites are complete, the family gathers for the biggest meal of the year.

Significance of Traditional Foods

More food is consumed by Indonesian Chinese families during the New Year celebration than at any other holiday. As it is considered bad luck to cook on New Year's Day itself, food is prepared the day before. Chinese believe that what you do on New Year's Day will reflect on your life in the coming year, so most housewives do not want to take a chance of being 'chained to the oven'. The large number of traditional dishes prepared is also meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.

Most traditional dishes served on Chinese New Year are chosen for the significance of their name or appearance. One required dish is a whole fish. Fish in Chinese is 'yu' which sounds similar to the word meaning surplus or abundance. A whole fish must be served as this represents family togetherness. Oysters are also a favorite. In Cantonese the word oyster sounds like the word that means 'good business.' In Cantonese shrimp is pronounced 'ha', which to the Chinese sounds like laughter so it also often included. Clams are another favorite, as they open up when cooked, symbolizing the opening of new horizons.

Paying respects to your ancestors at the temple

Ethnic-Chinese who have immigrated to Indonesian from the northern part of China serve 'jiaozi' or meat-filled dumplings. The pronunciation of this word sounds like a word meaning 'meeting of the last hour of the old year with the first hour of the new'. In the southern regions of China, 'nian gao' is an important part of the festivities. Indonesian Chinese from these regions serve this sweet rice pudding for their New Year's festivities. Another popular delicacy is 'Zong zi', glutinous rice wrapped up in reed leaves. Some celebrants place stalks of sugar cane behind their doors, as the height and section-upon-section construction of the sweet stalks represents the family's hope for a ladder-like ascent to new levels of glory in the coming year.

An assortment of traditional sweets for guests

Just as some foods are always served on New Year's Eve, there are other foods that are to be avoided for their perceived bad meanings. One of them is tofu. Chinese believe that white is the color of death and misfortune, so tofu is never included in the New Year's Eve meal as it might cause bad fortune to fall upon family members.

After Dinner Festivities

After dinner family members stay up late playing games, drinking wine, singing, joking and telling stories. Families strive to make the evening happy in hopes of setting the pattern for the incoming year. Mahjong and card games are popular ways to pass the time before midnight. According to superstitious belief, all the lights in the house must stay on throughout the evening. If the house is dark the god of good future will not be able to see it and will pass by.

At midnight firecrackers are lit, not only to scare away Nian and other evil sprits, but also just to add to the excitement of the occasion. In traditional families every door and window in the house is opened to allow the old year to go out and good luck to come in with the New Year.

New Year's Day

These ang pao envelopes are filled with money and given to children and other family members.

Although Chinese want to look nice on New Year's Day, it is considered unlucky to wash you hair on that day, as doing so will wash away your luck. Consequently, hair salons are extremely busy on New Year's Eve, with some salons in Indonesia doubling their prices. Customers are expected to pay the inflated prices, and hairdressers also expect ang poa. In Indonesian salons with a large Chinese clientele, this practice can continue throughout the 15 day celebration.

After the greetings of the New Year have been given to the immediate family members, families proceed to the house of the oldest family member. Traditional families may even consult a Chinese Almanac to determine the best time to visit and even the direction in which they should leave their home.

Due to past government policies which discriminated against the Chinese community, which makes up approximately thre to four percent of the Indonesian population, no public display of the Chinese New Year celebrations have been permitted since 1967, when the Chinese bore the brunt of shifting political regimes. It is only recently, after 1997 and the end of the Suharto regime that some of the discriminative policies, both written and unwritten, have been revoked or changed. Previously any display of Chinese signage on buildings or Chinese public celebrations were forbidden by the Indonesian government. Although the government now officially allows public celebrations, most Chinese still feel more comfortable and secure celebrating the New Year festivities privately in their homes. It is also popular amongst well-to-do Indonesian Chinese to travel to Singapore or Hong Kong where they feel free to observe the holidays fully.

Barongsai, the Lion Dance

A visit from a Barongsai is a sign of good luck

A Barongsai troop, consisting of at least 10 people, will arrive in a truck and the accompanying orchestra can be heard long before the arrival. Drums, bells and symbols provide music for the dance. Families are happy to be visited by Barongsai because they feel it will bring them good luck. At the completion of the dance the spectators place ang pau in the mouth of the Barongsai in appreciation for the performance. Depending on the organization backing the troop, most of the money collected is used for social work. With increasing freedom to celebrate their traditional customs, Indonesian Chinese can now even find special promotions in some Jakarta shopping malls during the Chinese New Year season which may include a barongsai performance.

Chinese New Year Celebrations in Bali

Many of the ethnic Chinese of the island visit local Klenteng's or Chinese temples to burn incense, paper money, and have their fortunes predicted for the new year that lays ahead.

The Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival on the 15 th day of the New Year marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. In the past, each family would construct a paper lantern used on this night to help see the gods. In many parts of China today, the lanterns take on a variety of elaborate shapes and styles and are displayed in public exhibitions. The Lantern festival is another reason for inviting guests to your house for a large dinner. Although it is not on the same scale as the New Year's celebration, it is still considered an important meal. After dinner the men parade outside carrying colorful paper lanterns, which have slips of paper with riddles written on them hanging from the lanterns. Guests guess the answers to the riddles and a drum is sounded when the riddles are correctly answered.

While New Year's customs vary throughout Chinese Indonesian communities in the Indonesian archipelago, the sprit underlying the celebration of Chinese New Year is the same; a sincere wish for peace, happiness and prosperity for family members and friends.

Hotels in major Indonesian cities typically offer special Chinese New year themed meals around the holiday. Check out the hotel/restaurant promotions in Jakarta on What's New Jakarta .

Rangkaian Qatar - Indonesia Year of Culture 2023, Tak Hanya Sekadar Pertukaran Budaya

Ninis Chairunnisa

Rabu, 22 Maret 2023 19:16 WIB

TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Tahun ini, Indonesia menjadi negara partner dalam perayaan tahun kebudayaan Qatar atau Year of Culture.

"Ada banyak hal yang bisa dilihat dari kedua negara, termasuk peran Qatar dan Indonesia di dunia muslim dan banyak hal lain dimana kita saling berbagi," kata dia saat pembukaan rangkaian kegiatan, Ahad, 12 Maret 2023.

Months of the Year in Indonesian

Did you know? Nine out of twelve months in Indonesian are written the same way in Dutch.

Featured article photo: Kelingking Beach, Bali, Indonesia by felfin05 evin

If you are fluent in Dutch, you can basically skip this lesson. All the months in Indonesian are written EXACTLY the same way in Dutch, the only 3 minor exceptions being:

maart in Dutch is Maret in Indonesian
augustus in Dutch is Agustus in Indonesian
december in Dutch is Desember in Indonesian

The rest of the months in Indonesian and Dutch have the exact same spelling.

But do note that unlike in Dutch, all months in Indonesian must be capitalized . So Dutchies, off you go, you can move on now to the next lessons.

Months of the year in Indonesian aren't all that different from English either. Just pay attention to the spelling.

Dates in Indonesia: Indonesian Calendar with Holidays and More

You drive your motor scooter up to your favorite noodle soup place for breakfast, but with a cry of despair you find that it’s tutup —”closed.”

Scrawled on the sign is a phrase that you manage to make out as being “closed for national holiday.” A national holiday? How were you supposed to know?

This kind of situation is pretty common in Indonesia for foreigners. And one major cause can be traced to simple ignorance—not knowing how to talk about dates in Indonesian.

It’s an easy skill to overlook when you’re juggling a bunch of Indonesian resources to get a handle on the different vocabulary words that seem to fill the air wherever you go. But it’s no less important for day-to-day life, and as it turns out, just a little bit of studying can get you everything you need.

So without further ado, let’s look at a crash course for mastering dates in Indonesian. By the end of this article, you’ll be a step closer to giving the date in Indonesian like it’s nothing.

Conclusion: How IndonesianPod101 Can Help You Master Indonesian

1. Dates on Paper

Before we concern ourselves with actually reading the dates aloud, let’s make sure that we know how to recognize dates when we see them, and how to write dates in Indonesian.

Indonesia is host to an enormous variety of local languages, many of them with elaborate traditional scripts like Javanese , Balinese , and Sundanese . You’ll see these scripts around town, but you can rest easy knowing that most Indonesians are significantly more comfortable with the Latin-based Indonesian alphabet , and by extension, its Arabic numerals.

So unless you’re a specialist, you don’t have to worry about learning dates in several alphabets. (Though you should, because they’re beautiful!)

Instead, dates are written day-month-year in Indonesian, like so:

10-10-1910 October 10, 1910
3-12-2014 December 3, 2014

Just knowing these basic formats will significantly help you with dates in Bahasa, Indonesia and elsewhere!

2. Reading Years

Any year is read out as if it’s a large number. This may be one of the most challenging things about reading dates out loud—they’re long words!

The way you end up differentiating between numbers and dates is pretty simple. It’s mandatory to say the word tahun , or “year,” to let your listener know you’re talking about dates.

So the dates below end up being pronounced as follows:

1970 tahun seribu sembilan ratus tujuh puluh
2015 tahun dua ribu lima belas

Also, you may notice that tahun , or “year,” is a noun and not a preposition. Indonesians rarely add prepositions before mentioning years, like English speakers would. But when they do, they would use pada which roughly translated to “on”:

Saya lahir tahun 1992. “I was born in 1992.”
Saya lahir pada tahun 1992. “I was born in 1992.”
Tahun itu Olimpiade diadakan di Barcelona. “In that year, the Olympic games were held in Barcelona.”
Pada tahun itu, Olimpiade diadakan di Barcelona. “In that year, the Olympic games were held in Barcelona.”

To talk about certain decades, Indonesians simply add -an (a suffix that turns words into nouns) to the year.

Saya anak 90-an (sembilan puluhan). “I’m a child of the 1990s.”

And what about talking about ancient history? Well, you’ll find that a lot of Indonesian texts use the acronyms CE/AD and BCE/BC. Those are read out just like normal letters—see our page on the Indonesian alphabet for that.

However, there are also common phrases for these eras, called Masehi for “AD/CE” and Sebelum Masehi for “BC/BCE.” The word Masehi is related to the word “messiah” in English, so it’s just another way of expressing the same concept.

250 BC tahun dua ratus lima puluh sebelum Masehi

3. The 13 Most Important Months in Indonesian

Thirteen? Yes, actually. It’s not on the calendar, but there’s one month here that’s very important in Indonesian culture. I bet you’ll be able to recognize it right away.

Here are the months in Indonesian.

The holy month of Ramadan occurs at slightly different times each year because it’s based on the Islamic lunar calendar. But no matter your religion, in Indonesia you’ll know when it’s Ramadan, thanks to the prominent advertisements, banners, and TV specials. Not to mention the fact that so many places close down!

By the way, don’t let the similarity of these months lure you into thinking you don’t need to learn them. If you say “August” instead of Agustus , no matter how loudly and slowly, it’s probably going to take the other person a little while to understand you, since the sounds and rhythms of the two words are different. Don’t ignore accent here!

In English and many European languages, we have to specify an ordinal number when we’re saying a day of the month. Not so in Indonesian—simply say the day and then the month, and you’re good to go. However, just like with the year, you’ll want to say tanggal , which means “date,” to specify you’re not just talking about a number.

Saya pergi pada tanggal enam Agustus. “I’m leaving on the sixth of August.”

4. Days of the Week in Indonesian

Days of the week are next in our guide to dates in Indonesian. The Indonesian names for the days of the week are based on the Arabic names, so if you’ve ever studied Arabic in the past, these will be a breeze.

Naturally, the names of the days have short forms for ease of writing—better have a look at those too.

The word minggu also means “week” itself. The days are always capitalized, so you know that it’s just the ordinary noun if it appears in lowercase.

There are two commonly used words for “the weekend.” First we’ve got akhir minggu , which makes a lot of sense because it’s literally “the end of the week.” But people also use akhir pekan , for a reason you might not find in your Indonesian dictionary .

Pekan is interchangeable with minggu nowadays, but it originally came into use because in traditional Javanese and Balinese culture, a minggu wasn’t always fixed at seven days. With pekan , you always knew how many days you were dealing with.

5. Saying Dates in Their Entirety

Instructions on Putting Something Together

Let’s briefly review by putting what we’ve learned all together in one phrase.

We’ll start with the day, and we’ll add the word hari meaning “day” for the sake of clarity. The word pada is the equivalent of the English word “on” when referring to dates.

Pada hari Sabtu… “On Saturday…”

Then the date, the month, and then finally the whole year.

Pada hari Sabtu, lima belas Februari, tahun dua ribu enam belas. “On Saturday, the fifteenth of February, in the year 2016.”

All that gets written out numerically as 15-2-2016.

6. Special Days

As we’ve seen, the word for “day” is hari . Whenever there’s a special date on the Indonesian calendar , it’s likely to be called hari something-or-other. Here are a handful of examples:

Hari libur “Vacation day/day off”
Hari raya “Day of celebration/holiday”
Hari kemerdekaan “Independence Day”
Hari Kartini “ Kartini’s Day ” (a famous fighter for women’s rights in Indonesia)

Whether you’re in school, on vacation, or at work in Indonesia, these days will affect you in some way. Businesses are often closed, for example, and it’s tough to know exactly when that’ll happen unless you’ve got an idea of when the libur days are on the calendar.

You can use these phrases to figure things out more precisely:

Apa ada hari libur bulan ini? “Are there days off this month?”
Apa toko ini buka pada hari kemerdekaan? “Is this shop open on Independence Day?”

During Ramadan, many shops have reduced hours, so you’d better find out:

Jam berapa tutup di bulan Ramadan? “What time do you close during Ramadan?”

7. How to Use Dates in Conversation

So how do people end up talking about dates in real life? What are the situations and phrases you’ll need?

Hari ini hari apa? “What day is it today?”

Note with the above example that you might want to use the word mana meaning “which,” but instead, it’s correct to say apa meaning “what?”

Hari kelahiran saya tanggal satu April. “My birthday is April 1.”
Idul Fitri hari apa tahun ini? “What day is Eid al-Fitr this year?”

Lastly, let’s briefly discuss talking about “this,” “next,” and “previous” days and weeks. It’s a total piece of cake.

Essentially, the words besok meaning “tomorrow,” and kemarin meaning “yesterday,” also function as markers for days in the future and past, respectively. So by saying “Thursday tomorrow,” depending on the context, you could also mean “next Thursday.”

Boleh kita bertemu pada hari Jum’at besok? “Can we meet next Friday?”

For months and weeks in general, we’ll use the words depan meaning “future” and lalu meaning “already past.”

Saya lihat dia di sekolah minggu lalu. “I saw her at school last week.”

The word besok has a particular meaning in Indonesian culture. Much like if a child wants something and the parent says “we’ll see,” saying that an activity can happen besok is kind of shorthand for “who knows when it’ll happen.”

8. Conclusion: How IndonesianPod101 Can Help You Master Indonesian

There’s simply no better way to learn something tough than to practice it. Frequently making yourself actually sound out the dates that you see written on paper is the number one thing that will rocket your learning to the next level.

One little tip for when you can work date-study into your everyday life: when you’re handling money . Glance at the date on the bill or the coin and think “What year is this in Indonesian?” You’ll be an expert in no time.

What’s the most valuable thing you learned in this lesson? Let us know, and how you plan to use it! And to practice, write today’s date in Indonesian. 😉

10 unique Indonesian traditions to ring in the new year

Share this article, change size.

em>Many people have been getting ready to celebrate New Year’s Eve, which coincides with the ‘malam Minggu’ (Saturday night) fever this week. While most people around the world will be marking the transition from 2022 to 2023 with a fireworks show or countdown parties, the unique traditions below have a special significance for Indonesians.

New Year’s Eve is usually full of joyous celebration and hopeful expectations of what the coming year may bring. For many, it marks a fresh start, even a time to reinvent or better themselves. It is also a time to be grateful for all that we have experienced and overcome in the past 12 months.

Every country has its New Year traditions, and Indonesia have several unique ways of welcoming the coming year that are representative of its diverse cultures and pluralistic society. Here, we journey west to east across the archipelago for a glimpse of these varied celebrations.

Marbinda: North Sumatra

Marbinda is a tradition observed primarily by the Batak community in North Sumatra. Similar to Idul Adha, the Islamic Day of Sacrifice, Marbinda involves ritual animal slaughter followed by sharing the meat equally with others.

To have enough funds to purchase the sacrificial animals, the members of a Batak community pool their money together before Christmas or New Year’s Eve. The collective fund determines the kind of animal they can buy, and buffaloes or pigs are often sacrificed during the celebration.
