"It is also hoped that this initiative can encourage Jakarta to become a more attractive and competitive tourist destination on the international stage," added Arie.

Tokopedia's Senior Vice President of Digital Goods, Rudy Dalimunthe, said "Tokopedia really appreciates Bank DKI for giving us the opportunity to jointly accelerate the digitalization of payments and create an increasingly broad cashless society. Through this collaboration, we hope that more people will be able to experience the convenience of digital transactions, especially in transportation and traveling in Jakarta. The collaboration between Tokopedia and Bank DKI is in line with our commitment to continue to create inclusive products, which can make it easier for the wider community to meet their needs in the digital era," added Rudy.

As a city with an economic and cultural center, Jakarta continues to be committed to realizing its vision as a global city. One of the main strategies is through strengthening the Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition (MICE) sector, which is an important focus in efforts to make Jakarta a leading destination for domestic and international tourists. Through developing the MICE sector, Jakarta seeks to attract more business visits and international events, thereby increasing regional income and strengthening Jakarta's position on the global stage.
