“…Several countries in ASEAN, such as Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand, have taken control efforts for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Indonesian government's efforts to control the pandemic by imposing a lockdown and travel restrictions have increased the negative impact on the economy (Esquivias et al, 2021).…”

This study aims to estimate the losses of tourism-related sectors and businesses to take recovery steps by disseminating policies and strategic directions. This study uses the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) to calculate losses. This study indicates that the average percentage of losses in the tourism sector from January to August 2020 is 68% (9,508 million USD) to 69% (10,328 million USD). Several sectors experienced losses, especially accommodation (2978 to 3235 million USD); food and beverages (1750 to 1900 million USD); and shopping (1530 to 1662 million USD). Business actors need to know the socialization of government policies such as fiscal stimulus, CHSE (Cleanliness Health Safety Sustainability) certification, and market reactivation. The direction of the right strategy is also carried out, such as product innovation, improvement of health protocols, digitization, and certification.How to Cite:Esquivias, M.

“…As countries impose travel restrictions and economic prospects continue to fall, recovery in tourism activities will not be easy. This will require support tools that help to resume activities, compensate for the losses, and recover confidence (Bakar and Rosbi, 2020;Korinth and Ranasinghe, 2020), (ESQUIVIAS et al, 2021). Kitamura mentioned in his paper that in Japan, in March 2020, the number of international tourist arrivals decreased by about 93% compared to last year at the same period, before it is usually the peak international tourist arrivals of the year.…”

“…According to the previous research by Esquivias et al, in "Tourism Demand in Indonesia post-pandemic period (ESQUIVIAS et al, 2021), Indonesia may benefit from competitive prices and weak currencies in the post-pandemic time. Nevertheless, if foreign tourists' disposable income drops substantially, it may cancel out the gains from competitive relative prices (ESQUIVIAS et al, 2021). The central government tries to achieve tourism goals in the current tourism development.…”

“…Hadi et al (2021) stated that the supply of Indonesia's tourism service industry certainly plays a vital role in meeting tourism needs, including accommodation, transportation, tours, food & beverages, and entertainment businesses. For the last decade, the Indonesian government has placed special attention on tourism activities, expecting to increase foreign arrivals to 20 million by 2020 and eventually increase the contribution of tourism to GDP (ESQUIVIAS et al, 2021).…”

“…One of the government's efforts in developing tourism destinations is the development of National Tourism Destinations (DPN) and the establishment of National Tourism Strategic Areas (KSPN), described in Indonesian Government Regulation 50 of 2011 concerning the RIPARNAS or National Tourism Development Master Plan. Along with that, in 2020, the Ministry of Tourism also promoted tourism actively in Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and China via the Wonderful Indonesia campaign; established Visit Indonesia Tourism Officer (VITO) operation in the six countries, and regularly participated in tourism exhibitions (ESQUIVIAS et al, 2021).…”

The Shinkansen is the fastest bullet train in Japan. Shinkansen greatly improve the tourism economy in some cities in Japan. Shinkansen is extremely handy for foreign visitors and reduces the cost of visiting numerous places in Japan. As is known, MRT in Jakarta is one of the collaborative projects between Japan and Indonesia. Indonesia also has a 'semi-fast' train that travels between Jakarta and Surabaya at 140-145 km/hour. Learning from the Shinkansen in Japan, the Indonesian Semi-High-Speed Train also has the potential to increase the tourism sites in Indonesia with the help of a 'push and pull strategy.' This case study used interviews and literature reviews for data collection. In this study, after data was collected, it was used to analyse the mode of transportation for tourism destinations and the marketing strategy that can be used for this research. The result of this study is that Indonesia can also imitate the implementation of tour packages from Japan's railway and tourism system. Shinkansen connects tourist destinations in various cities (intercity), and it is hoped that the semi-fast train built by the Indonesian government can do the same thing. Railways as tourism transport are only one thing in developing tourist destinations. The other thing is, of course, related to integrated tourism planning

Purpose This study aims to explore the role of cultural distance, economic integration, price competitiveness and substitution prices for tourism arrivals between 10 Southeast Asian (ASEAN) countries and 22 other origin countries from 2007 to 2019. Design/methodology/approach A panel-data gravity model is applied to estimate tourism demand in the ASEAN region. An index of cultural distance (time-variant) is introduced to examine the role of cultural differences across bilateral partners. Moreover, relative prices and substitution prices are introduced to the gravity equation to estimate price elasticities. Finally, this study tested whether the ASEAN free trade agreements (FTAs) encourage intraregional tourism arrivals. Two-panel regression approaches are used to test the model. Findings Cultural distance positively affects tourism inflows, boosting foreign arrivals. Income and price elasticities are important determinants in the demand model for ASEAN. A gain in price competitiveness versus alternative destinations can lead to substitution in destination choice. Meanwhile, geographic distance has a negative impact on arrivals, suggesting that connectivity and transportation are key in boosting tourism inflows in ASEAN. A decline in the disposable incomes of tourists caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may reduce tourism arrivals in the region. However, when currencies in ASEAN weaken, and consumer prices are lower than in other destinations, arrivals in ASEAN will be stimulated. FTAs have facilitated travel intra-ASEAN, which is an advantage over the extra-ASEAN sector. Practical implications Cultural heritage could be used in tourism promotion as ASEAN can attract tourists seeking novelty and new excitements. ASEAN countries could create complementary destinations and jointly promote cultural heritage to accelerate the region’s recovery. The depreciation of currencies in ASEAN and the gain in relative price competitiveness could attract more tourist visits, helping the region reestablish tourism activities in a postpandemic economy. Originality/value The model accounts for three key variables in the gravity approach: cultural distance in ASEAN tourism inflows, the effects of the ASEAN economic community on intraregional tourism, and relative and alternative price competitiveness. This study enriches the literature about tourism-demand approaches in modeling tourism arrivals.
