Sleman Hotel Occupancy Expected at Maximum 60 Percent During 2026 Eid Holiday

Yogyakarta — Hotel occupancy in Sleman District, Yogyakarta during the 2026 Eid holiday period is estimated to reach between 45 and 60 percent. The average length of stay during the Eid holiday is projected at 1.75 to two days.

According to Kus Endarto, Head of Marketing at Sleman District’s Tourism Office, most visitors to tourist destinations in Sleman and surrounding areas during the 2026 Eid holiday are expected to come from Java, comprising approximately 95 percent of tourist arrivals.

“This concentration will lead to what we call micro tourism, which will have consequences for hotels in the region,” Endarto said on Tuesday, 10 March 2026.

Given these conditions, hotel occupancy in Sleman District during the 2026 Eid holiday period is projected at a maximum of 60 percent. “We anticipate occupancy rates between 45 and 60 percent at maximum. Last year, the maximum reached 51 percent,” Endarto noted.

Tourist spending during the 2026 Eid holiday is expected to decline, with visitors projected to spend approximately 1.5 million rupiah per visit. Accommodation, meals and beverages, attraction entry fees, and souvenir purchases are anticipated to constitute the largest components of tourist expenditure.

“Maximum spending this year is estimated at around 1.5 million rupiah per visit, ranging between 500,000 and 1.5 million rupiah. This represents a decrease compared to last year,” Endarto stated.

Sleman District’s Tourism Office has set a target of between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors during the 2026 Eid holiday, a reduction compared to the previous year.

“We estimate visitor arrivals to our destinations at a minimum range of between 250,000 and 400,000,” Endarto said.

The tourism office’s reduced visitor target compared to last year reflects several considerations, including current economic conditions affecting household spending capacity.
