Quality tourism in Indonesia has become the core direction of national tourism development. Tourism is no longer measured by visitor numbers alone. Instead, experience quality, sustainability, and community impact now matter most.
Since the enactment of Indonesia Tourism Law No. 18 of 2025, the country has officially shifted toward quality tourism. This approach prioritizes sustainability, community empowerment, cultural preservation, and environmental protection.
As a responsible tour operator in Indonesia, Pahlawan Berkemah translates this policy direction into real travel practices through its principle: Discover Responsible Journey.
Quality Tourism in Indonesia and National Policy Direction
Quality tourism in Indonesia emerges from a policy transformation. The government emphasizes long-term value rather than short-term growth.
According to the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, tourism development now focuses on:
- sustainable destination management,
- improved quality of life for local communities,
- meaningful visitor experiences,
- long-term destination resilience.

How Pahlawan Berkemah Implements Quality Tourism in Indonesia
Pahlawan Berkemah treats quality tourism as a practice, not a slogan. Every journey reflects this commitment.
Educating Travelers for Responsible Tourism
Quality tourism in Indonesia starts with traveler awareness. Therefore, Pahlawan Berkemah provides education before and during each trip.
This education includes:
- ethical travel and Leave No Trace principles,
- safety awareness and risk mitigation,
- cultural and environmental context.
As a result, travelers gain deeper understanding and responsibility.
Designing Low-Impact and Sustainable Journeys
Sustainable journey design is essential to quality tourism in Indonesia.
Pahlawan Berkemah focuses on:

These standards support environmental protection, cultural integrity, and long-term resilience.
Quality Tourism Begins with Responsible Journeys
Quality tourism in Indonesia is not defined by luxury or scale. It is defined by responsibility and impact.
Through sustainable, educational, and community-based journeys, Pahlawan Berkemah demonstrates that quality tourism can be implemented at the journey level.
