The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy collaborates with PT. KAI/KA Wisata and ASTINDO to present the "Train Tour Packages Bundling" program in a bid to welcome the momentum of the Eid holiday while realizing the target of domestic tourist movement of 1.5 billion in 2024. Through this initiative, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno appreciates PT's full support of KAI/KA Wisata and ASTINDO towards the recovery and revival of the tourism and creative sector. He also hopes that more and more domestic tourists will be interested and start planning their tours during the Eid holiday with KAI and travel agents.

Meanwhile, Commercial Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia, Hadis Surya Palapa, explained that in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and ASTINDO, there are two derivative programs from "Train Tour Packages Bundling" namely Nyok Mudik ke Jakarta Aje (Let's Go Home to Jakarta) and Monday-Thursday Tourism. For Nyok Mudik ke Jakarta Aje, there are around 20 routes to Jakarta that can be used by prospective tourists, which are packed with attractive tour packages, including accommodation, culinary delights and tourism attractions. PT. KAI provides discounts for trains of up to 30 percent and is valid during the Eid holiday. Meanwhile, the Monday-Thursday Tourism program offers train tickets with attractive discounts for various destinations every Monday to Thursday departure, specifically for travel agents who bundle their services using trains.

Besides the collaboration program, PT. KAI also presents an independently managed Ramadan Festive program. Taking place on March 20-21, 2024, KAI provides 38,000 seats with rates for executive class costing IDR 300,000, business class IDR 250,000, while economy class IDR 200,000 with a validity period during the Eid momentum. Meanwhile, General Chairperson of ASTINDO, Pauline Suharno, said that if KAI provides its mode of transportation to support the movement of domestic tourists; ASTINDO acts as a provider of thematic tourism packages in the regions. It creates tour packages in cities that are not reached by airports. Tourists can enjoy vacation at promotional prices for hotel discounts, attraction discounts and train ticket discounts.
