This campaign offers a variety of travel options to suit the needs of today's families, ranging from short escape, educational tours for children, intercity land trips, tourist village explorations, and local cultural and culinary experiences.

To facilitate travel planning, the Ministry of Tourism presents MaIA, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital platform on Indonesia.travel that helps people find destination inspiration, travel itinerary recommendations, and various travel ideas that suit their family's interests and needs.

The Ministry of Tourism also continues to promote various leading Indonesian destinations as family vacation options, ranging from Lake Toba, Borobudur Temple, Mandalika, Labuan Bajo, to various other interesting destinations in various regions.

Through the "New Way of Vacation" campaign, the Ministry of Tourism encourages people to use travel as a means to create new experiences, strengthen family bonds, and gain a closer understanding of Indonesia's rich culture and natural beauty. 

From short trips to exploring near and familiar destinations, every trip can be part of a memorable school holiday story.
