- Abstract
As the hub of the government and the economy in Indonesia, Jakarta is expected to lead the way in the growth of this industry. In order to meet this expectation in the fourth industrial revolution and the era of digitization, Jakarta’s tourism industry needs to be supported by a number of ICT applications that can both improve the competitiveness of the city’s tourism industry and the tourist experience for visitors. As a means of achieving this objective, the idea of a “Smart Tourism City” has gained popularity. This concept essentially aims for smart tourist governance in terms of attractiveness, accessibility, digitization readiness, sustainability, and partnerships. The purpose of this study is to understand national strategies via interviews with four important informants from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. The results have shown that the ministry has primarily used three strategies: creating strategies and a policy framework for the use of technology in tourism, working together and cooperatively with different stakeholders, and creating and utilizing digital infrastructure in tourist destinations.
