In the context of tourism returning to its booming period after the pandemic, quiet tourism is emerging as a new trend in 2024. This trend arises as many people seek to escape the noise and hustle of traffic or temporarily disconnect from technology.
Quiet tourism involves returning to and immersing oneself in nature, disconnecting from technological devices, and connecting with oneself and the world.
One of the main reasons for the increase in this trend is the growing awareness of the importance of mental health and happiness. In today's busy world, stress and anxiety are common difficulties. Taking time to seek silence and experience solitude can be a powerful antidote to these pressures. Another factor driving this trend is the desire for authentic and meaningful travel experiences. This can be achieved through simple things like watching the sunrise on a quiet mountain or listening to the sound of waves on the beach. These experiences can have a long-lasting impact on travelers.

Technology is also a contributing factor to the development of quiet tourism. While advanced technology makes life more convenient, it also tires many people with daily notifications and messages. To escape this, many travelers choose destinations where they can "disconnect" from the digital world.
Recognizing this new trend, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia focuses on "green tourism" as a priority in 2024. Indonesia, with its rich and diverse natural resources and cultural diversity, has great potential for developing green tourism. Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, believes that the future development of tourism and creative economy, especially in the investment sector, needs to address sustainable environmental issues and green investment as the key to success.
Indonesia has a good economic growth rate, expected to boost people's purchasing power and enhance domestic tourism in 2024 with a target of 1.2 - 1.4 billion trips. Indonesia's goal for 2024 is to welcome 14 million foreign tourists.
