The release of the Tourism Investment Guide Indonesia 2026 marks a major milestone in the country’s strategy to strengthen its tourism and property sectors. Published by UN Tourism in collaboration with Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the guide outlines structured, sustainable, and policy-backed opportunities across Indonesia’s priority destinations.
The Tourism Investment Guide positions Indonesia as a key market for responsible tourism investment in Asia-Pacific. With a focus on eco-tourism, hospitality development, digital nomad infrastructure, and wellness-focused properties, the guide provides clarity for both institutional and private investors.
Why the Tourism Investment Guide Indonesia 2026 Matters
Indonesia has experienced a strong tourism rebound post-pandemic, supported by:
- Government-backed infrastructure expansion
- Special economic zones (SEZs) for tourism
- Simplified business licensing under OSS reforms
- Long-stay visa programs such as the Second Home Visa
Tourism Investment Guide emphasizes that Indonesia is not only a leisure destination but a structured, investment-ready tourism ecosystem.
Key sectors highlighted include:
- Sustainable resorts and eco-lodges
- Wellness and retreat developments
- Integrated tourism areas
- Long-stay residences for remote professionals
- Digital nomad-friendly infrastructure
This shift reflects global travel trends favoring sustainability, lifestyle integration, and longer visitor stays
Priority Destinations in the Tourism Investment Guide
Bali: The Established Tourism Capital
Bali remains the focal point of tourism property investment. With strong international recognition, consistent rental demand, and a thriving wellness and digital nomad community, Bali continues to attract villa investors, boutique hospitality developers, and long-term property buyers.
Luxury villas, managed rental units, and wellness-focused developments remain particularly strong in areas such as Canggu, Uluwatu, and Ubud.
Mandalika: Infrastructure-Driven Development
Mandalika is identified as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) with significant government-backed infrastructure. The Tourism Investment Guide Indonesia 2026 highlights Mandalika as a structured growth model combining hospitality, sports tourism, and resort-based development.
Labuan Bajo and Likupang: Emerging Tourism Corridors
Under the “10 New Balis” initiative, Labuan Bajo and Likupang are gaining attention as underdeveloped yet high-potential regions. These areas are ideal for eco-conscious resorts, boutique hotels, and low-density sustainable projects aligned with conservation-driven tourism.
What This Means for Property Investors
The Tourism Investment Guide Indonesia 2026 signals several important trends:
- Greater regulatory transparency
- Increased institutional backing
- Public-private collaboration
- Sustainable development standards
For real estate investors, this creates a more predictable environment compared to speculative growth cycles in the past.
Demand is rising for:
- Long-stay residences
- Managed villa investments
- Wellness-oriented communities
- Sustainable, eco-certified developments
As global mobility evolves, lifestyle-driven tourism destinations like Indonesia are becoming increasingly attractive for both yield and long-term capital appreciation.
Why 2026 Is a Strategic Entry Point
Indonesia continues to implement complementary policies that strengthen its tourism and property outlook:
- Second Home Visa program
- Expanded long-term stay options
- Improved airport and transport infrastructure
- Stronger digital economy integration
Entering emerging markets during early infrastructure phases often provides stronger appreciation potential compared to saturated prime districts.
Tourism Investment Guide Indonesia 2026 reinforces investor confidence by aligning national tourism strategy with long-term sustainability goals.
