The ministry hopes to offer nomadic tourism as a hassle-free way for travellers to explore Indonesia’s natural destinations
In a press release issued last March, Arief said that building the necessary facilities was feasible by using temporary materials, making nomadic tourism easy and affordable.
Glamping, homepods and caravans are considered proper forms of accommodation for nomadic tourism, as opposed to building hotels on hard-to-reach islands. Furthermore, seaplanes or planes that can land on water are viewed as more feasible compared to building airports, which would take time.
The nomadic tourism campaign will be carried out in areas with minimal infrastructure and that do not meet the ministry’s 3As: access, attraction and accommodation.
The minister said the campaign was part of the government’s efforts to attract 17 million foreign tourists by 2018.
He stressed that nomadic tourism would rely heavily on backpackers.
