The country is now opening up newer destinations for MICE as well as leisure in order to offer companies more options of incentives during business trips.
Despite being a long-haul destination for India, Indonesia still manages to remain a popular destination for us – not just for leisure but also for MICE. the free visa-on-arrival facility is to be credited but also for the vast options that the destination provides. Apart from Bali and Jakarta – the main touch points for India – the country is starting to promote newer spots by highlighting its convenient domestic connections as well as its tourist attractions, hotels and MICE facilities.
Speaking of which, Indonesia is a convenient and fresh option. It offers great facilities in cities or on resort islands, fascinating culture, outstanding natural beauty, with international standard services in 16 main MICE destinations: Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Medan, Batam, Padang, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Makassar, Manado, Solo, Lombok, Bintan, Palembang and Balikpapan.

Garuda Indonesia’s Jakarta Mumbai flight GA 862 via Bangkok operates three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. To promote other cities for tourism and MICE, the airline is also promoting its domestic connections within Indonesia. the airline flies to 63 domestic destinations.
