Five super-priority tourism destinations, eight special economic zones, and 12 sustainable tourism projects are expected to benefit from the investments.

  • In March 2022, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno met with 18 foreign investors to offer sustainable tourism projects worth USD 1.5 billion. This investment is around 20% of the growth of the national tourism industry, which will be a 5% contribution to national economic growth from the tourism industry in 2022.

The MoU also stated the development of infrastructure across the country will attract tourists, which, in turn, increase the number of visitors across the country.
Apart from these factors, the increasing demand for rental vehicles is mainly driven by people's interest in road trips and the rising importance of comfort and safety in the wake of the pandemic. The tourism rental market is expected to grow gradually as transport operations return to their normal functioning with a new normal, i.e., following social security guidelines for safety.

Five super-priority tourism destinations, eight special economic zones, and 12 sustainable tourism projects are expected to benefit from the investments, which will increase demand for car rental services in the coming years.

Moreover, investment and tourist traction increased the overall vehicle rental demand in the region as most tourists are seen renting vehicles to visit the nearby tourist sites. It is likely to enhance the demand for rental services in the coming years.



Online Booking Expected to Witness Significant Growth during the Forecast Period

Increased concern and awareness about the containment of the virus primarily led to an increase in vehicle rental options. Additionally, the tourism vehicle rental market also provides the option of increased mobility without the concern of paying the costs associated with vehicle ownership. These services are offered via websites and through other online platforms, attributing to the growth of the market.

Renting a vehicle via mobile applications is the second most common type of online booking. Mobile applications must be downloaded and can be accessed easily by the car renter to change the booking details, among other services. For instance, in 2022, around 76% of the total regional population included a smartphone in the region. It, in turn, is likely to witness major growth for the online vehicle rental booking service.

With the advancement of technology, renting a car through online booking is the most popular option for customers in recent years. Furthermore, it offers extra features for real-time monitoring of a rental vehicle's operation, performance, and maintenance. Such features include significant benefits for drivers and fleet managers, allowing them to spot dangers and execute timely modifications to their rental services more efficiently and effectively.

Most renters prefer renting vehicles online during peak seasons. As the vehicle rental market experiences an increase in demand during peak holiday seasons, people tend to book vehicles in advance. Only a handful of cars are booked through rental stores, mostly during the off-season. Online booking services include booking vehicles via internet sites and mobile applications, among which booking-via-sites is the most common method opted for by renters.

With the development mentioned above across the region, the demand for online vehicle rental services is witnessing major growth during the forecast period.
