The State News Agency Antara reports that the Ministry of Tourism and the Creative Economy states that Garuda Indonesia has reduced ticket prices by as much as 45% on flights destined for Bali.
Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno told the press on Monday, 14 October 2024: “For Garuda Indonesia, the price reduction is around Rp. 1.4 to 1.6 million when compared to the earlier Rp. 3 million price – this is a significant reduction. That’s already 45%.”
Sandiaga communicated with the CEO of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra, regarding the reduction in ticket prices. The Tourism Minister said the savings available on Bali-bound tickets vary depending on the date and time of each flight departure. The most significant price reductions are available during off-peak travel periods when passenger demand is lower.
The announcement by the Tourism Minister was made during his last weekly press conference in his role as a Cabinet Minister.
Earlier, the Tourism Minister emphasized that connectivity and accessibility were the key factors in increasing tourism visits to Indonesia. “Connectivity is the key to increasing foreign visitors to Indonesia,” he said.

Indonesia increased its targeted tourist arrivals from 14.3 million in 2023 to 17 million in 2024.
For the Province of Bali, 5.2 million tourists visited Bali in 2023, with 7 million tourists projected to visit Bali in 2024.
