Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in December 2025 alone, there were 18.53 million domestic trips or visits by domestic tourists to West Java Province. Budhi added that this collaboration also opens opportunities for future business development through various other insurance products. “With the considerable potential for tourist visits in West Java, this partnership is expected to make a positive contribution to the company’s performance. In the future, this collaboration can also be expanded to other products such as surety bonds, bank guarantee counters, and credit insurance,” he added. Through this partnership, Askrindo and the West Java Provincial Chapter of PUTRI aim to continue driving the growth of the tourism sector and the regional economy through the provision of comprehensive insurance protection services.
