Indonesia saw 15.38 million foreign visitors in 2025, led by Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, China and Timor Leste, according to BPS data.
Indonesia welcomed 15.38 million foreign tourists in 2025, a 10.8 % rise from the previous year, with visitors concentrated in a handful of neighboring nations【3】. The five leading source countries together accounted for more than half of all arrivals.
Key takeaways
BPS data released for the full year shows Malaysia as the dominant market, delivering 17 % of all foreign tourist arrivals—equating to roughly 2.6 million visitors. Australia followed with 11.4 % (about 1.8 million), while Singapore and China each supplied just under 10 % of the total. Timor Leste, a small nation east of Indonesia, contributed 6.6 % (approximately 1 million visitors).
The July‑only snapshot from BPS reinforces this pattern. Malaysia’s share for that month was 14.32 % (212,113 arrivals), Australia 12.33 % growth month‑on‑month, and China 9.76 % (144,531 arrivals)【1】. The three countries together represented more than a third of all foreign arrivals in July, underscoring the importance of regional proximity and seasonal travel patterns, such as Australia’s winter school holidays that boosted its visitor numbers【1】.
Beyond the top five, India contributed 4.8 % of the 2025 total, reflecting growing interest from South Asia. South Korea added 3.2 %, while the United Kingdom and the United States each supplied 2.7 % of visitors. Japan’s share stood at 2.5 %, completing the ten‑country ranking【3】.
These figures align with earlier reports that highlighted Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, China and Timor Leste as the most frequent visitors in 2023 and 2024, suggesting a consistent regional focus for Indonesia’s tourism sector【5】.
The concentration of visitors from neighboring Asian and Pacific nations illustrates the continued relevance of geographic proximity, flight connectivity, and regional travel incentives for Indonesia’s tourism recovery. Seasonal factors—such as school holidays in Australia—can cause sharp month‑to‑month spikes, while longer‑term trends show steady growth across most source markets. Policymakers and industry stakeholders are likely to prioritize market diversification, direct flight routes, and targeted digital promotion to sustain the upward trajectory and mitigate risks from geopolitical shifts or travel disruptions.
