A proposal for nomadic tourism in Indonesia has been flagged by the Ministry of Tourism. 

The acceleration of deregulation in nomadic tourism amenities such as seaplanes, helicopters and lifeboats was recommended following a Tourism National Coordination Meeting.

The push for nomadic tourism aims to offer tourists an “easy and affordable way” to visit the country’s natural destinations and hard-to-reach islands, such as Maluku, reported The Jakarta Post.

“Building access and amenities is feasible by using temporary materials,” said Tourism Minister Arief Yahya in a press release.

Tourists would stay in temporary and portable accommodation such as caravans, home pods or glam pods. 

This comes on the back of challenges faced by the industry in facilitating tourists who want to visit the country’s smaller islands, where creating access and key amenities such as airports and hotels has been difficult.
