Study Report: Indonesia Digital Ecosystem Assessment 2024

June 10, 2024

The Indonesia Digital Ecosystem Assessment (IDEA) is an effort to enhance support for community-based tourism and the blue economy in five Super Priority Tourism Destination (DPSPs) in Indonesia, namely Labuan Bajo, Mandalika, Likupang, Lake Toba, and Borobudur. The objective was to map the conditions and characteristics of the digital ecosystem, analyze the causes and disparities in digital ecosystem development, and formulate recommendations for digital ecosystem development strategies for community-based tourism and blue economy actors in the DPSPs. 

The report concluded that sectors in all DPSPs hold significant potential and are currently in a developmental phase in how they interface with the digital ecosystem. The condition of digital infrastructure and supporting infrastructure is not yet optimal. There are disparities in the DPSPs because the level of literacy and digital adoption in the community greatly influences the ecosystem. The report has included the recommended strategy for developing the digital ecosystem in policy directions.
