The Travel Market in Indonesia influenced by Chinese Outbound tourism

It is important that the tourism industry in Indonesia has increased its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), as it will result in more foreign exchange gains (since each foreign visitor spends between $ 1,100 and $ 1,200 per average visit, ) while providing employment opportunities to the Indonesian population (based on the latest data from Statistics Indonesia, the country's unemployment rate was 5.81 percent in February 2015).
http://china-market-research.blogspot.com/2016/05/tourism-market-in-indonesia-is-booming.html

Indonesia hopes that a significant number of tourist arrivals from China in the coming months until the end of December. Their participation in last week's China International Travel Mart (CITM) 2015 in Kunming, could make them happen such expectations, according to Tourism Minister Arief Yahya Indonesia. He attended the three-day event that opened on 13 November 2015. The CITM is one of the largest trade and consumer travel fairs in Asia. Chinese Tourism Market : +150% since 2014 !

officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia [rɛpublik ɪndonesia]), is a country in Southeast Asia. Situated between the Indian and Pacific Ocean, it is the largest island country, with more than thirteen thousand islands.^[8][9] It has an estimated population of over 258 million people and is the world's fourth most populous country as well as the most populous Muslim majority country. The world's most populous island of Java contains more than half of the country's population.

Indonesia's republican form of government includes an elected legislature and president. Indonesia has 34 provinces, of which five have Special Administrative status. Its capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia. Other neighbouring countries include Singapore, thePhilippines, Australia, Palau, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Indonesia is a founding member of ASEAN and a member of the G-20 major economies. The Indonesian economy is the world's 16th largest by nominal GDP and the 8th largest by GDP at PPP

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia

9% of the employment linked to Tourism 

It is estimated that about nine percent of the total national workforce in Indonesia is employed in the tourism sector. Currently, the Indonesia tourism sector represents about four percent of the total economy. In 2019, the Indonesian government wants to have doubled this figure to 8 percent of GDP (perhaps too ambitious) ambitious target which implies that, in the next four years the number of visitors to turn 20 million. To achieve this objective, the government will focus on improving Indonesia's infrastructure (including ICT infrastructure), accessibility, health and hygiene, as well as improvement of online campaigns (marketing) abroad. The government also revised its policy on visa-free access in 2015 (for details, see below) to attract more foreign tourists.

The table above shows that the number of foreign tourist arrivals in Indonesia has been growing between 2007 and 2015. This performance is supported by a reduction in terrorist incidents in Indonesia. Although small, there is a radical Muslim community who not only believes that Islam should be the only guide in life (and society), but also ready to resort to extreme measures (violence) to reform and root out conditions . A series of attacks against Western terrorists (2002/2005 Bali bombings and shelling in 2009 Ritz-Carlton / Marriott in Jakarta) has obtained the arrival of foreign tourists as a large group of western Indonesia ignored stagnate as a holiday destination in the months after such a violent incident (less than a year the number of tourists recover). 2009 bombing Ritz-Carlton / Marriott explain why the growth of tourist arrivals in 2009 was limited (see table above). After 2009, there were no terrorist attacks targeting Westerners. This success is due to the special anti-terrorist platoon of the country's efforts (Densus 88), which is funded by the US government and is led by the CIA, FBI and the US Secret Service. After 2009, when radical groups started operating in smaller networks (which are more difficult to identify) attacks targeted symbols of the State of Indonesia (like the police) and not symbols of the Western world. This is probably a reaction to the numerous arrests of Densus 88 in recent years.

The Travel Market in Indonesia influenced by Chinese Outbound tourism

 What blocks the development of the tourism industry in Indonesia? In the Competitiveness Report Travel and Tourism World Economic Forum, which "measures the number of factors and policies for sustainable development of travel and tourism, which contributes to the development and competitiveness of a country," Indonesia rose from 70th in 2013 to 50 in 2015, an impressive improvement. This jump was caused by the rapid increase in arrivals of foreign visitors, the national tourism industry priority and investment in Indonesia's infrastructure (eg mobile phone network covers now most of the country, while the air transport infrastructure has been expanded). The report indicates that the competitive advantages of Indonesia are price competitiveness, rich natural resources (biodiversity), and the presence of several heritage sites.

However, the report also said that Indonesia does not place enough emphasis on environmental sustainability (from deforestation and endangered species, while only a fraction of the water used is treated). The report also mentions security issues, particularly the cost of terrorism cases. Another concern is that Indonesia is behind Singapore (11), Malaysia (25) and Thailand (35 °) in the ranking Report Travel and Tourism Competitiveness 2015.

The lack of adequate infrastructure in Indonesia is a persistent problem, not only for its costs sharply higher logistics which makes it less attractive investment climate, but also because it limits the travel of sweetness for tourists. Infrastructure Bali is great and acceptable in Jakarta (except for traffic congestion grave), but outside of Bali and Jakarta most countries the infrastructure is inadequate, especially in the eastern part of Indonesia, where there is a shortage airports, ports, roads and hotels. The lack of inter and intra-island connectivity means that a number of regions in Indonesia that contain a huge tourist potential is not easy.
quora 

In addition to infrastructure, education is also an obstacle. While on the island of Bali, as well as in luxury hotels in Jakarta indigenous people working in the tourism sector, they are quite fluent in English (and sometimes other languages ​​that are not in Indonesia ), in the most remote areas native Indonesia have difficulty communicating with tourists. Therefore, focus on the study of English help to overcome this situation. The language barrier has been a part of Singapore to choose Malaysia as their holiday destination rather than Indonesia. Most foreign visitors entering Indonesia are Singapore, followed by Malaysia and Australia.

Bad news for Indonesia Tourism

"The capabilities of the military...in securing our seas should be improved, whether it's technology or general preparedness," Widodo said, according to a presidential palace statement.
A Chinese fishing boat was attacked last Friday while fishing in waters of Natuna a 272-island archipelago off the northwest coast of Borneo in the South China Sea islands. The island archipelago has about 70,000 residents and is administered by Indonesia.

On Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying Chinese described the incident as such, "While normally operates in traditional fishing areas in southwest China South China Sea on June 17, the Chinese fishing boats were harassed and they fired several navy ships Indonesia. a Chinese fishing boat was damaged and injured member of the crew shot, while another fishing boat and the seven people on board were arrested by the Indonesian side. "

Indonesia Refuses to Bow to China in the South China Sea

Indonesia's president held a cabinet meeting aboard a warship off the Natuna Islands on Thursday, asserting sovereignty over waters in the southern reaches of the South China Sea after Beijing stated its "over-lapping claim" on nearby waters. As a result of the incident, Beijing lodged a strong protest to Jakarta through diplomatic channels, claiming that Indonesian "international laws violated including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China sea (DOC). China strongly protests and condemns the excessive use of force. China calls on the Indonesian side to stop taking actions that complicate, exaggerate the difference and undermine peace and stability, and handling the issue of fishing in the sea in a constructive way. "



The New York Times reported that Chinese nationalists are outraged by the use of force by the Indonesian side. A user wrote via Weibo (microblogging platform similar to Twitter in China) "You call yourself a great and mighty nation, but how is that a small country like Indonesia dare slap in the face?" In the same Times article, another Weibo user reportedly wrote, "Where is the hard-line faction in the army? It's your turn to make an appearance now."


However, the issue of fishing is not as simple as the nationalists would like to believe. While Beijing claims 90 percent of the South Sea China, with its self-proclaimed "nine-dash-line" or "cow tongue", Beijing recognized in 2015 claiming Jakarta chain Natuna islands, stating that "the Chinese side has no objection to the sovereignty of Indonesia over the Natuna Islands." While the islands are outside the "line of nine script", but also create an exclusive economic zone of 200 miles, or EEZ which excels in waters claimed by Beijing.

Beijing, however, is a signatory to the Convention and under the Convention, the islands whose population is entitled to an EEZ of 200 miles, which gives Indonesia and its exclusive rights fishermen fishery resources in that area. Moreover, the concept of "traditional fishing", presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, is not recognized in the Convention.

Chinese outbound tourism Market for indonesia

This last argument is the third since March, when a Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Affairs of Indonesia patrol vessel intercepted a Chinese fishing boat of 300 tons approximately four kilometers from the Natuna islands chain within the territorial limits of Indonesia indisputable. In that incident, the Indonesian patrol boat fired warning shots of small arms in the Chinese fishing boat, forcing them to stop and the Chinese fishermen were transferred to the Indonesian patrol ship. A Chinese coast guard ship then arrived on the scene, repeatedly ramming the Chinese fishing boat until it was free and then retrieve the fishing boat.


At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China also made the argument that the incident occurred within the traditional fishing areas of China and the Chinese coast guard vessel assisted by the Chinese fishing boat seized without going Waters-territorial Indonesia despite It is only four kilometers away from an island of Indonesia. In addition, by using its own coastguard boat as a battering ram,

This kind of New will scare Chinese travellers  !

Chinese Real Estate Buyers 

The huge increase in Chinese buying both residential and commercial real estate has helped the housing market recovers from the crisis that began in 2006 and the economic crisis of 2008 was precipitated.
"What makes it different from China and noteworthy is the combination of the high volume of investment (and) the extent of their participation in all categories of real estate," including a "unique entry into home purchases" said the study.

The study authors said their numbers, based on industry data real public estate and underestimates the total, as misses purchases made by front companies and trusts that does not identify the source of the funds.
According to the study, Chinese purchases of US households far exceeded its investment in commercial buildings and land.

$ 23 million in the commercial property market,

Between 2010 and 2015, Chinese buyers put more than $ 23 million in the commercial property market, with the latter half of last year alone.
However, during the same period, at least $ 127 million was allocated to households in the United States, and in the 12 months to March 2015 - the latest period for which they could obtain data relatively complete - purchase housing amounted to $ 39 million. That put Canadians last Chinese, who have long been the biggest foreign buyers of US residential real estate.


Geographically, Chinese buyers are concentrated in the most expensive markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, but Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas have also been drawn buyers.

Indonesia Invest in Tourism with Chinese Travelers

Some people might have known that Indonesia and China has the connection on its history many years ago. As the result, that connection can still be seen in nowadays life. That might be one reason why the ministry of tourism is trying to take more than 2.1 million of Chinese people to come to travel to Indonesia.In some ways, this might be a little bit awkward since the ministry is trying to take as many Chinese tourists as possible. However, if you take a look at the chance and the fact that the historical background has a kind of connection, that makes it very possible.

Baidu Said it was conducting an investigation and Simple past would fully Cooperate With the regulator.

It is not clear That conventional treatment - surgery to remove the tumor Typically - synovial sarcoma Would Have That cured the rare Suffered from Wei. Reuters has not Been Able to reach the hospital for comment.

Critism 

Baidu has come in for fierce criticism for how it handles online search results Within ITS adverts, from an industry as sensitive as healthcare Especially, Which Nomura and Daiwa Analysts at say 20 to 30 percent Provides Its search of revenues. In 2015, 55.7 billion yuan search Were revenues ($ 8.6 billion), or 84 percent of Baidu's overall sales. "Whatever page you're looking at on Baidu is a mess of adverts," Said username FreedLiu on China's Weibo microblog, discussing Wei. "They're profiting from loads of People Who do not know Baidu auctions (its search results)." Baidu vigilance Said it applied to healthcare customers Particularly, with screening for misleading adverts and a verification program with additional scrutiny for medical advertisers.

"Over the years, we cleaned up the customer proactively Have basis," a company spokeswoman Said by email. It is not the first time the company has fallen foul of regulators and public review for ITS handling of healthcare ads and blogs, though it has not Suffered substantive Sanctions.

Also Baidu sold the rights to manage a disease discussion site to a company selling treatment for That illness, forum users Said. "Baidu has ADH issues come up About the types of medical ads since 2008 They accept," Said Mark Natkin, managing director of Marbridge Consulting in Beijing.

Social Media create links 

First of all as social media link Chinese people together it is a very powerful l tool to increase brand awareness, which indicate to companies about their popularity and brand image. Facebook is the most popular social media of the world and many companies have their own page in order to display some contents to “likers”. The “likes” amount gives an indication on the brand awareness. There is much solution to increase the “likes” numbers, on the first place it is very important to have a good community management by displaying contents that might interest likers and to answer each massages. It is also possible to run some “campaigns” in order to buy new likers, Facebook has a very good targeting tool allowing to target people through their age, gender, job, localisation, interest and many others characteristics. Then it is important to bet a CPC on each segment and optimize it in order to have a bigger bet on segment with a high Click Rate. On others social media such as twitter or Instagram the number of followers give an indication on the brand awareness too. Customers are very likely to contact the company through social Media as it is a very easy and intuitive way to get in touch with someone, a good interaction with customers may also increase the customer satisfaction as they know it is possible to fix issues easily. It is also possible to increase the awareness on brand for free by creating some buzz, indeed if a content such as photo or video is shared by many followers of the firm, this content will appear on followers’ friends newsfeed and so on. A media can become viral and increase the awareness and enhance the perception of a brand for free. The buzz can also be dangerous because some content criticising the firm can also be displayed by some users decreasing the good perception of the brand.

Digital Marketing Positionning ! 

Is your content strategy in China very corporate or is it a bit more casual? What your brand is sharing says as much about you as it does your Chinese audience., what is your Chinese community ?
 Is your voice representative of your brand in China, do you know the Chinese market ? If it is, then is that representative of the Chinese target you are trying to reach? If your tone is not appealing to your Chinese Audience, then it’s time to change it up. Though it’s important that your digital strategy of Chinese engagement be as unique as your branding, it’s also important not to stray from your off libe Marketing strategy .

Social media create quality traffic in China

Then as the traffic is growing on social media, many enterprises want to increase their sales via this acquisition channel. In order to reach customers, it is possible to display some advertisement on users’ newsfeed via acquisition campaign. wechat will display the ads if the click rate is high and also if CPC offered by the firm is high enough to be profitable. Having a good click rate become a very important stake, it is very important to adapt the message to the target in order to be performant. Indeed the most a message will be individualized, the most the user who will see it will be likely to click on the advertisement. It seems evident that the landing page have to respect the message displayed by the ads otherwise the click has no chance to be converted into a purchasing.

Digital Strategy in China

Let your corporate culture be your guide.

There are many mean to increase the click rate on some ads in China, one of them is to AB test two ads very similar with only one changing aspect and see after a consequent number of click which one is more efficient, continuously set up test is a good strategy because there are always some ways of improvement.

Moreover if a company in China display always the same ad it may be very successful at the beginning but users might be bored after a couple of months. Finally a good tracking is mandatory in order to have a good control on the ROI, indeed each campaign must have a specific URL in order to know which campaign bring the most of purchasing. This allows increasing the bet on CPC in order to display more an advertisement that brings purchase and to cut useless campaign. It is also a good thing to calculate the cost per lead in order to know how much one purchase cost. A relevant CPL must be targeted for each campaign as some buyer are more valuable than others, it also allows marketing officer to make a cross calculation to fix the bid on CPC. Lead can be different things according to companies’ objectives, it can be purchase, download (for apps), or registration (private sales).

Top Asian Destination for Chinese travellers

Singapore is no longer just a stop-over point for tourists catching connecting flights to beaches in Thailand and Bali. More travelers are making the city state their final destination, in large part after ending a decades-old ban on casinos that’s helped to double the number of Chinese visitors to the country.

Tourism is proving to be one of the bright spots in Singapore’s otherwise sluggish economy. Official figures show income from tourism surged 25 percent in the four years since the first two casino resorts were opened in 2010 — flashy and modern complexes housing hotels, shopping malls and restaurants. Credit Suisse said last month that tourist arrivals this year will probably exceed forecasts from the Singapore Tourism Board, climbing as much as 8 percent to 16.5 million compared to 2015.

Australian cosmetics brand "Adore Beauty" plans to enter into the Chinese market

It's been 16 years since Kate Morris founded Adore beauty of his garage, but is far from being extinguished, the successful entrepreneur is using the milestone that take online retailer of cosmetics to China to open a crack in a beauty market worth billions of dollars.

Morris will not be used any hard and fast target has been set for Chinese expansion, instead saying SmartCompany is going to take a conservative approach and responding to customer demand rather than telling people what they want to buy.
Because of this, Adore Beauty initially offer about six brands of Australia to Chinese consumers through Tmall order to "dip your toe in the market."
Brands include Lanolips, Evo, as soon as possible, Alpha-H, ONCE and Skinstitut.

"We will consider China first, which is a big enough piece to bite," says Morris.

"But I certainly think that if we consider China, there is much more potential in the APAC [Asia Pacific] region and that is definitely where we will focus our attention. As some success in China, and then we will expand our spectrum ".

The initial product range will focus on high quality, ethical hair care and skin care products in order to seize the Chinese market appetite for all things in Australia.
"It's a small selection of each of the brands and let's just try it and see what works," says Morris.
"A market [as Tmall] is the most obvious choice so far in China. If you make your own website there is definitely pushing a rock up a hill. We wanted to be where they were shopping shoppers Beauty" .
For Morris, the Chinese expansion feels like coming "again to the starting point" given the beauty Adore began exporting beauty products in much of Australia before focusing heavily on the local market.

"China is the largest market of beauty in the world," says Morris.
"But we also recognize that it is not without its complications."

Adore Beauty is on track to deliver about $ 15-16 million at the end of this year.

+136% of Chinese tourists in 2014 ! 

A particularly timely example of this is Sri Lanka, which saw the arrival of Chinese tourists increased by 136 percent in 2014, during the administration of strongly "pro-Chinese" President Mahinda Rajapaksa. However, things have changed with the defeat Rajapaksa at the polls this January Maithripala Sirisena, who has been far more critical of the major tourism projects and development carried out by luxury companies, many of which have already they have been waiting Chinese.


Under the direction of Sirisena, less chummy ties between China and Sri Lanka have raised doubts about the sustainability of Chinese growth arrival of tourism. At the moment, the outlook is still relatively optimistic it with Sri Lanka to its projection of 2.5 million Chinese visitors sticking in 2016 and hoteliers as Shangri-La to continue its expansion in the country. While in Kunming Minister Arief Yahya said Indonesia had to do everything possible to attract Chinese visitors. "Chinese tourists traveling abroad reach 100 million people annually. How might receive only one percent of them?" Said the minister.


In 2014, the number of Singaporeans who visit Indonesia ranked first with 1.32 million arrivals. Visitors from Malaysia and Australia came in second and third place respectively.
