00:00 We have a program called THR PolPolan, so it's a holiday ticket.
00:04 You can buy a ticket for at least 1.2 million, get cashback and a discount of 250,000.
00:09 So it's pretty good.
00:10 In summary, in 2024, 27 days should be closer to the number before COVID-19 or maybe even more.
00:16 Do you have optimism for that?
00:17 We are optimistic.
00:26 Hi, how many applications have been supported for your holiday plan?
00:32 You open today, maybe a lot.
00:34 Because if you look at the joint vacation in 2024, it's quite a lot.
00:40 It turns out there are 27 national holidays and joint vacations that are arranged in the joint decision letter of three ministers.
00:47 There is the Minister of Religion, then the Minister of Employment and also the Minister of Employment, State Apparatus and Information Bureaucracy.
00:54 So it's pretty good.
00:56 So for you whose holiday plan is not cut off by a joint vacation, be grateful.
01:04 Because there are so many people out there whose personal vacation must be cut off.
01:08 Because whether you want it or not, you have to take a joint vacation.
01:13 This is the one who laughs, it seems like it's fate.
01:17 After this, we toast because it's fate.
01:20 Anyway, this will have a significant impact, especially for certain sectors.
01:25 This is related to tourism, hospitality, etc.
01:29 So how will the holiday trend in 2024 affect certain sectors or maybe from the platform?
01:36 Which turns out this seems quite favorable or maybe it will be a destination platform for people to buy plane tickets, train, hotel, etc.
01:46 This time at Vincas, we have a CEO of tiket.com, Mr. George Hendrata.
01:51 A round of applause for him.
01:53 How are you?
01:55 I think we have a chance to support you today.
01:57 I met George because suddenly there was a notification from tiket.com.
02:04 Is this a good sign?
02:06 Because there is a promo, if I'm not mistaken, which is being given by tiket.com.
02:11 On Eid, there was a talk about what the promo was, Mr. George.
02:16 Good morning, Mr. Wiki.
02:17 Yes, that's true. So we are very supportive.
02:20 We see that we are having a program called THR Polpolan, so it's a holiday ticket.
02:25 It's to buy a ticket for a minimum of 1.2 million, get cashback and discount of 250,000.
02:31 So it's pretty good.
02:32 Oh, that's pretty good.
02:33 Then the 27 days earlier was also very supportive.
02:37 Because if we divide it by 12, it's about 2 days.
02:40 So almost every month there can be an extra 2 days off.
02:44 If we look at our customers, it's about almost 60% millennials and Gen Z.
02:52 Gen Z's traveling behavior is very different.
02:56 They really travel every month.
02:58 Because rather than buying a house, buying a car, it's more important to be able to access, travel to new places.
03:05 So, Insta, foodie trip, healing trip, if you're already busy, still running around, right?
03:12 Right.
03:13 Sport, tourism, and so on. So it's very supportive.
03:16 Yes, because the point of view of Gen Z is that the form of investment is all kinds.
03:21 Some people make the holiday activity as content, then post it on Instagram or make a vlog on YouTube.
03:28 It's monetized into money.
03:30 Many people say that the holiday is not productive.
03:34 The healing is too much.
03:36 But from the point of view of Gen Z, it can be monetized.
03:39 That's smart.
03:40 A round of applause for Gen Z.
03:42 Because they see an opportunity in a very fun way.
03:46 That's the way they work. That's the way they think. Super fun.
03:49 And the most important thing is that Tiket.com sees this as a very exciting trick.
03:53 Okay, up to this point, maybe what is read by Mr. George from Tiket.com,
03:58 who bought tickets and so on, who traveled, who looked for hotels, who read the increase.
04:05 If compared to last year, maybe the holiday together is not as many years now.
04:10 How is the growth?
04:12 We always see it compared to before COVID.
04:17 Because actually COVID has a huge impact.
04:20 Before COVID, about 100 million passengers flew.
04:25 Domestic plus international.
04:27 For last year, the number was 80.
04:30 So actually the recovery was about 80-82%.
04:33 Okay, it's quite accelerated.
04:35 Quite accelerated.
04:36 If we look at people who live in hotels,
04:39 the number is usually about 150 million rooms that are booked per year.
04:45 Last year it was about 120.
04:48 So the recovery was also more than 80.
04:50 But what is actually very promising is that the number of flights has increased.
04:56 If we look at it now, for domestic, the number of flights is about 2,000 per day.
05:01 For international, it's about 500 per week.
05:05 If we compare it to pre-COVID, these two numbers are already about 90%-95%.
05:11 A thin difference.
05:12 A thin difference.
05:13 So it means that with this much capacity, the price will definitely be better.
05:18 If the price is better, because the capacity is also high,
05:22 it will make people more affordable if they want to travel.
05:28 Because in tourism, we rely on three things.
05:31 Attraction, the place must be cool.
05:33 Then second, accessibility.
05:36 If possible, there is an airport.
05:37 If possible, you can fly or take a toll road.
05:40 Or this morning we discussed KRL.
05:42 If it's easier, people will definitely want to go.
05:45 Third, affordability.
05:47 If the capacity is high, the chance of the price to fall is high.
05:53 Okay, especially if you look at it, the summary of the year 2024, 27 days,
05:58 should be close to the number before COVID or maybe even more.
06:01 Is there optimism in that direction?
06:02 We are optimistic that it will be more.
06:05 Because we see that travel is very tight, the relationship with GDP.
06:10 Usually, if the total travel is about 2 times GDP growth.
06:15 But we are on online travel.
06:17 So there are market segments that have not bought through online,
06:21 it will also move to online because the trust is higher.
06:24 So usually we grow twice from travel.
06:27 Total travel.
06:28 So if GDP grows 5%, travel may grow about 10%.
06:33 Online travel can grow 20%.
06:35 So we are optimistic, it should grow.
06:37 Okay, talking about optimism,
06:40 of course when establishing tiket.com, it is equipped with a vision that is far ahead.
06:47 Usually, founders or CEOs must have a point of view that seems very far ahead.
06:53 At that time, maybe you could,
06:57 what is it called, between me and the investor,
07:01 to the beginning of the establishment of tiket.com.
07:04 What was read from the potential of Indonesian society or tourism in Indonesia?
07:09 So it was okay, it really had to be made, this platform.
07:13 Because the potential is really big.
07:15 What was read at that time?
07:17 If the tiket.com itself was established in 2011,
07:21 so it's pretty fast, it's been almost 13 years.
07:25 At that time, even buying a train ticket was not yet online.
07:32 Then we had to call the plane.
07:36 How was that? At that time, there was a very limited number of people.
07:39 Then maybe there was no airline, there was no API either.
07:43 So if we want to go to one destination,
07:46 we have to make at least two phone calls to check the price, check the schedule.
07:52 So the first thing is our vision is to create apps and services that people love the most.
07:59 People usually want to travel to focus on fun.
08:02 So he doesn't want to be complicated.
08:05 So we think about how to make people search, book, and pay with one hand.
08:11 And actually I also want the vision to make it, if it doesn't work,
08:16 to cancel it in less than a minute.
08:20 That's why you asked earlier, there's a program, one is called THR.
08:25 You can buy a holiday ticket with discount.
08:27 But what's good is there's also 100% refund.
08:30 So if you buy, if you want to cancel, the money will be refunded.
08:34 So if we're not sure, from 27 days, where do you want to go?
08:38 It's okay, just book first. If it's canceled, it's canceled.
08:41 That's the vision, it's never changed since then.
08:44 Always make it easy for customers.
08:47 And the way is to connect to as many suppliers as possible.
08:51 And now the point of connection, we've been to the airline for 120,
08:55 fly to 200 countries,
08:57 then for hotels, we've connected 3.6 million hotels.
09:01 So it means if the coverage is big, whatever the interest,
09:04 whether it's spot tourism, healing tourism,
09:07 or culture, domestic or international,
09:10 we can supply as much as possible.
09:13 And if the supplier base is large, the price should be competitive.
09:17 I think so.
09:18 It seems like this vision means that it has to face various parties,
09:22 which they already have their own habits.
09:25 About this value,
09:27 they want to present a platform that is favored by everyone,
09:31 want to have fun, vacation, in a very easy way.
09:34 But it's related to the airline, related to hotels,
09:39 they have their own system.
09:41 While this is disruptive,
09:43 quite then, what is it,
09:46 disrupt various processes.
09:48 Well, at that time, the conversation or maybe the socialization
09:52 with the airline and others,
09:54 how was the challenge, can you tell us?
09:57 If I look at it like this, it's actually a win-win.
10:00 Because if we look at it, the airline has a huge investment.
10:04 One plane, imagine, the price can be hundreds of millions.
10:08 If the plane flies, the capacity is not full.
10:13 It's hard to divide the number of seats that fly.
10:18 So there is an understanding there,
10:21 where if you use channels online,
10:24 the possibility of high occupancy rate is there.
10:27 And it's good to see it outside.
10:30 Outside, the airline has a direct channel,
10:33 so people go to the counter to buy,
10:35 or direct channel via web to brand.com,
10:39 or via online travel.
10:41 And all three coexist, so the utilization is high.
10:46 At least there is a comparison,
10:48 they have a success story and use the platform.
10:51 At that time, the ticket.com was included.
10:53 - Right. - Okay.
10:55 - And the same story is repeated in the hotel,
10:59 in the train, something like that.
11:01 Because from their point of view, they also need a platform like this.
11:05 I'm curious, before we discuss the other one,
11:08 if a 100% refundable promo program,
11:15 what is the system like?
11:18 Because from the point of view of the airline,
11:21 of course they don't want to lose money.
11:24 There is one ticket that has been purchased previously,
11:26 then it turns out to be rescheduled.
11:28 Even though there is a schedule,
11:30 there is an additional cost,
11:32 or it will be refunded, but not 100%.
11:34 How is the system from the ticket.com,
11:36 so that it can provide a service to the user,
11:41 but all parties are happy.
11:43 From the platform, they are happy.
11:45 From the airline, they are also happy.
11:47 How is that?
11:48 Actually, this started from the hotel first.
11:50 - Okay. - In the hotel, we are used to it.
11:52 There are two types of prices.
11:55 The first type of price is that it cannot be refunded, cannot be canceled.
11:58 Another type is that it can be refunded, can be canceled.
12:01 But maybe the time is different.
12:04 Cancel a week before or a day before.
12:07 So the way is that the price of the room is different.
12:10 For a room that can be canceled, it is usually a little more expensive.
12:13 The one that cannot be canceled is cheaper.
12:16 We copy the same thing in the airline.
12:19 So on the flight, we see how many percent people actually cancel.
12:23 Then we see what reason they cancel.
12:27 Most people don't think about booking a flight to cancel.
12:31 We estimate and with this estimation, we make a special class.
12:35 Because we have estimated,
12:37 we estimate X percent will be canceled.
12:40 So if X percent is canceled, if we estimate here,
12:43 win-win, the consumer is profitable, can get 100% refund,
12:46 the ticket is not even lost, right?
12:48 In fact, you can get value-add.
12:50 So because of the win-win, this program can be sustainable.
12:54 That's why we launched 100% refund.
12:56 From the airline, there is also a quota.
12:59 So everything is win-win.
13:02 Okay, let's go back to 2023.
13:05 Where the growth is also compared to the pre-pandemic period.
13:08 As mentioned earlier, the growth is quite accelerated.
13:13 Speaking of the types of tourism that seem to be enjoyed a lot in 2023.
13:20 Then like the way of travel, what transportation modes are then favored by Indonesian people.
13:27 Or users from ticket.com in 2023.
13:30 How is this also being used to project various kinds of preparations in a certain mode,
13:39 the purpose of tourism in 2024.
13:42 That's if we look at it from travel.
13:46 Travel has the need for business travel and leisure.
13:50 For business, it will definitely increase.
13:53 Because GDP is increasing, business is also increasing.
13:56 For leisure, we see domestic and foreign.
13:59 Domestic is big cities as usual, Surabaya, Makassar, Medan, Bali, and so forth.
14:05 But what we see is that there are new additions, which are the themes that I told you earlier.
14:10 For example, people want to go eco-tourism or more sustainable.
14:15 Sustainable means the economy is running, the culture is maintained.
14:21 Then the flora and fauna are maintained.
14:25 That's getting more and more trendier every year.
14:30 I myself at that time, during COVID, I once checked in West Bali National Park.
14:35 There is only one hotel there.
14:37 I was very impressed because I can see the palm trees, I can see the cranes,
14:42 the birds, and because they don't see people that often, they are not afraid of people.
14:49 So we can interact.
14:51 Because the property supports eco-tourism, the trash and other things are also maintained.
14:58 So if it's like that, it's sustainable in the long run.
15:00 Then people will go. Usually it will attract quality tourists.
15:04 Usually the stay can be a little longer.
15:06 We see those themes.
15:08 We are often in Baluran National Park.
15:11 There are a lot of flora and fauna.
15:13 Then we see the one at the end of Kulon National Park.
15:17 You can see the Javanese paddy.
15:19 Especially like that.
15:20 The second theme is healing.
15:22 I myself went to Kintamani.
15:25 I saw the haze.
15:27 It was nice. We just had a cup of coffee and it was good.
15:29 At that time, I was on the way to West Bali National Park because the road was good.
15:35 There are also many healing places like that in Jogja.
15:39 For example, there is one famous for its mushroom.
15:41 There is also one famous for Rumah Atsiri.
15:44 It's also in Jogja.
15:45 There are things like that.
15:47 Not to mention the foodie trip.
15:50 Because people now like to go to a place, explore the culinary, and share pictures of the place and the food.
15:58 It can be in Medan, in Jogja.
16:00 There is no end to it.
16:02 Thematic.
16:03 What we run on the ticket is also like that.
16:06 Because we see the thematic.
16:07 And maybe not all users are aware.
16:11 We often display it on the homepage.
16:13 That's why we often check the homepage.
16:15 Because for example, now we are exploring the thematic of Sakura.
16:18 Because it's Sakura season in Korea and Japan.
16:21 So we help our customers to explore.
16:27 What is the coolest at that time.
16:29 Something like that.
16:30 So actually there are many themes.
16:32 And most likely in 2024, it seems that what will be booming is still the eco-tourism, then the foodie.
16:42 Because it seems that there are many needs and the trend is also going there.
16:48 Okay.
16:49 If you look at the traffic side.
16:53 Tourists from which city often travel or maybe book through ticket.com.
17:02 And how interesting is the data and this is made into a pattern to then be read in the future.
17:14 What the consumer wants and so on.
17:16 From ticket.com.
17:18 If we look at the pre-COVID, 100 million passengers per year.
17:24 80 million are domestic.
17:26 20 million are abroad.
17:28 From 20 million, 40% go to Southeast Asia.
17:32 Because it's close to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, and then a little further.
17:39 Korea, Japan.
17:40 The mix is not too different.
17:42 Pre-COVID and now.
17:44 But the difference is GDP.
17:46 We increase every year.
17:47 GDP per capita is now also increasing.
17:50 4,500.
17:51 With this increase, usually if we look abroad, the spending power is bigger.
17:56 Domestic is increasing, but internationally it is also increasing higher.
17:59 Usually like that.
18:00 So for example, if now 20 million out of 100 is about 20%, that's the people who go abroad.
18:06 Later maybe it can be 25 or 35 like in China.
18:11 Or even higher in the US or in Europe.
18:14 That's the trend there.
18:15 Okay.
18:16 So there will be a lot of trips abroad.
18:18 But at the same time for short destinations, because people are used to it.
18:23 Because of COVID, they can't go anywhere, they explore, they have their own backyard.
18:27 To Labuan Bajo, Raja Empan, and other places.
18:30 Finally, these short vacation, especially like this national holiday,
18:35 can be used to go to Bali, or we go to Labuan Bajo, or we go to Jogja.
18:41 Eh, to Borobudur, it's easy, you drive a car.
18:44 8 hours have arrived, something like that.
18:46 That's what we see, so it's a mix.
18:49 The point is the frequency increases, because the lifestyle looks like a short trip every month.
18:57 Longer trip, every 3 months it becomes a habit.
19:00 Okay.
19:01 Talking about ecotourism, talking about what is it,
19:04 a tourist object that does have a long sustainability.
19:08 I am one of the people who experienced an event that was enough to pay attention.
19:15 I came to a place in Nusa Lembongan at that time,
19:19 there are many reviews on the internet,
19:21 if there is a place for the cultivation of seaweed,
19:26 the development of seaweed.
19:28 When I went there, the place is no longer there,
19:32 because there are so many hotels around there,
19:35 they throw the seaweed directly into the sea,
19:38 so that the seaweed can't grow, more or less like that.
19:43 From the point of view of the platform,
19:45 actually the hope is for the stakeholders,
19:49 if sustainable tourism continues, ecotourism continues,
19:53 everyone is happy, right?
19:55 If not maintained, the platform won't get it,
19:59 the government won't get it,
20:01 the hotel manager won't get it.
20:03 What is the hope for the continuation of the tourist objects in Indonesia?
20:09 So if we look at it, we have some examples,
20:14 for example, in the Philippines,
20:16 there is an area where tourism is very advanced,
20:19 but in the end they still close for a while because the trash is too much.
20:23 At least we already have red rags,
20:26 we know if we don't manage it well, it could happen.
20:31 So this is good, one.
20:33 Second, actually this society has a great power,
20:36 because if they want to look for ecotourism,
20:39 they will buy ecotourism.
20:41 We also help from the platform.
20:43 For example, there could be a filter,
20:45 hotels that are more eco-friendly than others,
20:47 because they pay more attention to the value cycle.
20:51 Or in other more advanced places,
20:54 the aircraft, the use of CO2 emissions,
21:00 what is it like?
21:02 If the aircraft is newer, more efficient,
21:06 the CO2 emissions are smaller.
21:08 That's also the power of the customer.
21:10 And this has been proven in other sectors too.
21:13 There is a big retailer in America that labels goods.
21:19 Yellow, red, green.
21:22 How environmentally friendly is the product?
21:26 At first they didn't believe it would work.
21:28 It turns out that people buy more green.
21:31 So we see the chain of eyes like that.
21:33 We will help to expose more eco-friendly suppliers.
21:39 Because eco-friendly is sustainable for the business,
21:42 sustainable for Indonesia.
21:44 Then the consumer becomes aware.
21:46 The consumer buys more.
21:48 So eventually we get a virtuous cycle.
21:50 Because actually if from the demand side,
21:53 it's quite demanding,
21:55 one more sustainable practice,
21:58 automatically everyone will follow.
22:00 If it's not sustainable,
22:02 maybe from the hotel manager, the PMB,
22:05 it's better to practice sustainability practices.
22:09 Okay, interesting about that.
22:11 I hope more people are aware of this value.
22:17 Okay, there are many opportunities, of course,
22:20 that have been exported well by Ticket.com.
22:23 But potentially it will continue to grow.
22:25 Are there new business opportunities
22:27 from the needs of these tourists,
22:31 from the point of view of Ticket.com?
22:33 The needs are definitely the three main ones.
22:36 So if you're looking for goods,
22:38 there must be availability.
22:40 The price must be competitive.
22:42 Then it must be simple.
22:44 I've told you about supply.
22:47 So we will always add supply year after year.
22:50 If from pricing, because by adding supply,
22:52 the price will definitely be better.
22:55 Because the supply for one item can be several.
22:58 So I think we get a good price.
23:00 For convenience, I see people are looking for flexibility.
23:04 That's why we launched 100% refund.
23:06 Then we also have buy now, pay later.
23:09 So there is an easier way for people to pay for their purchases.
23:15 Then our CS also accepts.
23:18 So it can be through WhatsApp,
23:21 it can be through voice call,
23:24 it can be through the app itself.
23:28 Then we have reschedule,
23:31 it's also made very easy.
23:33 Then for the elements that we want to go abroad,
23:37 and we also want to buy attractions.
23:39 People want to go to Japan,
23:41 but they also want to buy a Disneyland ticket.
23:43 Well, they can buy it from us.
23:45 In addition, the sector that is really interesting
23:47 is the concept of tourism.
23:49 There is a concert, right?
23:51 We have covered 90% of K-pop concerts in Indonesia.
23:56 That will also attract artists from abroad.
24:01 To go inside and out too.
24:03 And there are bundling packages.
24:05 There are bundling packages.
24:07 Buy the plane, hotel, and concert tickets.
24:11 Correct.
24:12 Okay, interesting.
24:13 So I think bundling will make it easier,
24:16 because it's easier to choose.
24:18 And there is also the value of the promo
24:20 for the user, the consumer.
24:23 If you buy it cheap, it's more expensive.
24:26 If you buy bundling packages, it's cheaper and simpler.
24:30 It's more practical.
24:31 Okay.
24:32 Tips and tricks.
24:33 So that, this is the point of view from Gen Z or maybe Millennials,
24:37 who still have a lot of budget.
24:40 The budget for vacation is there, but it's limited.
24:45 So, if you want to go on vacation to an exciting place,
24:48 what are the tips and tricks?
24:51 So that it fits the budget, it's fun too.
24:55 How is it, George?
24:56 So, everyone has different sources of information.
25:00 From Instagram, from TikTok, from YouTube.
25:03 From friends.
25:05 If you already know, this is a really cool place.
25:08 Just check the ticket.
25:11 We change our homepage, the landing page.
25:15 Because we see that 50% of people who come already know where to go.
25:18 The other 50% don't know yet.
25:20 They have to find inspiration.
25:22 We make that place to recommend people
25:26 inspirational things.
25:27 And there are also all kinds of things.
25:29 Some people want eco-tourism, some want budget savings.
25:32 Some want travel luxury.
25:34 Some want to make an unforgettable experience for their girlfriend or something.
25:38 So, each of them has their own segment.
25:41 We try to find out what interests the customer.
25:48 We try to spread it out there.
25:50 After that, we also give options for the purchase.
25:54 You can choose.
25:55 Then, if you're not sure, you can go for flexibility.
26:00 The promo.
26:01 So, often to check what we offer there.
26:05 Before you have an idea, just go.
26:08 Because who knows, when you go to the site, you might have an idea.
26:11 Something like that.
26:12 Okay. There's also an element of adventure.
26:16 And of course, each menu has various kinds of promos that you can enjoy.
26:22 If I imagine, if I visit the website of Ticket.com,
26:27 maybe the one I open the most is Travel Hema.
26:29 But I pray that if I open Ticket.com,
26:32 it will be luxury traveling.
26:34 And I don't buy it with my mind.
26:37 One day, maybe it will be done. Amen.
26:40 Okay. If we talk about traveling,
26:44 then Ticket.com, and also various kinds of holiday activities,
26:47 I think there's no end to it, but then the time is limited.
26:50 Thank you for talking with me, Vin Cash.
26:52 I hope the existence of Ticket.com can inspire many people
26:57 and can also be one of the economic drivers in Indonesia.
27:02 There are many people who use the platform,
27:05 and many employees are recruited,
27:08 the level of wealth rises, and so on.
27:10 And the economy becomes more advanced.
27:12 Thank you, Mas Jok. Good luck for Ticket.com.
27:14 Don't be in a hurry. We'll play again, Vin Cash.
