MoMo Jakarta – Jan. 28th – Mobile Tourism
Posted on: January 20, 2013 – Filed under: Jakarta
Dear MoMo Friends,
Hope this message finds you well, safe and sound from all the recent flood in Jakarta.
Tourism industry is one of Indonesia’s economic pillar. We serve millions of domestic and international tourists (latest prediction is 11 million foreign tourists per year by 2015). Creating a good portion of contribution in our GDP – on average 6% of Indonesian GDP.
Mobile is definitely a good fit in tourism. Being location and context aware, we can imagine a service/apps that can direct tourists to the right spot and attractions – attractions that sometimes are missed. This will benefit not just big businesses, but also for micro business and SMB… will greatly enhance their discoverability. Tourists on the other hand we think are also longing for high quality information about Indonesia, both prior to their visit and during their visit.
We’ve seen a recent spike in tourism oriented services in Indonesia. I’m also curious though, whether our recent (year end?!) holiday experience can be enhanced by many of services and apps that mobile can offer.
