Indonesia’s designation of 36 new international airports opens up greater flexibility and efficiency when building inbound golf itineraries. Key destinations such as Bali, Lombok, Medan, Batam, and Labuan Bajo are now more directly accessible, allowing for shorter transfer times and smoother regional routing.
This development makes it easier to create customized, multi-island programs or introduce lesser-known destinations with high appeal. Options now extend beyond Jakarta and Surabaya, giving more freedom to craft scenic golf holidays in places like Java’s highlands or the beaches of the Riau Islands.
For group travel, the expanded airport network simplifies logistics and enhances the overall journey from arrival to resort.
Adding to the experience, the launch of the All Indonesia digital arrival card streamlines immigration, customs, and health declarations into one online form. Travelers complete it in advance and receive a QR code to present on arrival, reducing queues and ensuring faster entry.
Together, these updates significantly improve travel flow, minimize delays, and create a more seamless experience from airport to first tee. It is a key step forward in positioning Indonesia as an attractive and easy-to-access golf destination.
