Jakarta’s strategic presence at the prestigious IT&CM Asia 2025 in Bangkok aims to capture more international business and leisure visitors.
Under the theme “Jakarta: A World-Class MICE Destination,” our delegation represents a powerful collaboration with 13 top industry stakeholders, including five-star hotels, major convention venues, and key associations (like ASPERAPI).
This united front showcases Jakarta’s ability to deliver comprehensive, unmatched MICE packages.
Andhika Permata, Head of Jakarta Disparekraf, stated, “IT&CM Asia is the ideal platform to show the world that Jakarta is no longer merely a gateway; we are a self-sufficient destination ready to host large-scale global events.
We offer world-class infrastructure, modern venues, and unique experiences that guarantee memorable events.”
Jakarta’s pitch highlights several key advantages: Cutting-Edge MICE Facilities, Dynamic Tourist Experiences (from culinary delights to rich history), Flexible and Competitive Packages, and a Commitment to Security and Prime Service.
This participation is expected to foster significant long-term partnerships, boosting Jakarta’s contribution to the global tourism and creative economy market.
Lucky Wulandari, Head of the Foreign Tourism Marketing Subgroup, concluded that Jakarta’s participation in IT&CM Asia 2025 is expected to generate long-term partnerships and significantly contribute to the growth of the tourism and creative economy sectors in the global market.
IT&CM Asia, formally known as Incentive Travel & Conventions, Meetings Asia (IT&CMA), is a premier international event focused on the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Established in 1993, it serves as a key platform for connecting global business events suppliers with qualified buyers, fostering networking, education, and business development.
The event is organized by TTG Events, a business group under TTG Asia Media, and is renowned for its extensive exhibition showcase of Asia-Pacific MICE suppliers — the largest of its kind globally.
As Indonesia’s capital and Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Jakarta leverages its modern infrastructure, strategic location, and cultural vibrancy to attract global organizers. This effort is backed by government policies, including incentives for event planners, streamlined visas, and marketing campaigns, aiming to elevate Indonesia’s MICE ranking and contribute to the national economy.
By 2025, Jakarta will have solidified its role through high-profile events and international promotions, with the sector projected to grow significantly. The city’s MICE market is part of Indonesia’s broader industry, expected to reach USD 7,413.6 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 13.78%, fueled by rising corporate demand and regional connectivity.
