Taman Ismail Marzuki Sees Record Visitor Numbers During Year-End Holidays

Cultural Destination Proves Increasingly Popular

Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM), Jakarta's premier cultural center managed by PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro), has recorded an impressive 67,198 visitors during the 2025/2026 New Year holiday period and school break. The visitation numbers, spanning from December 22, 2025, to January 3, 2026, demonstrate a significant surge in public interest towards cultural and educational tourism in Jakarta.

Evolution of TIM as Cultural Hub

Iwan Takwin, CEO of Jakpro, highlighted that the increased visitor numbers reflect TIM's transformation from merely being a performing arts center to a comprehensive public space for cultural interaction and educational activities. This development positions TIM as a key destination for both locals and tourists seeking enriching cultural experiences in Jakarta.

Implications for Jakarta's Cultural Landscape

The substantial visitor numbers at TIM during the holiday period underscore the growing appeal of cultural and educational tourism in Jakarta. As Jakarta continues to develop its cultural infrastructure, destinations like TIM are likely to play an increasingly important role in the city's tourism landscape, contributing to both cultural preservation and economic activity.
