Tokopedia is trying to make it easier for the public, especially parents preparing activities during the school holidays, to find various services and the right products.”
Tokopedia also saw high interest from the public in the Travel and Entertainment category.

Tips for Fun Holiday Preparation a la Tokopedia
Tokopedia, represented by Mirna, shared tips for preparing activities during the school holidays to make the holidays even more exciting and run smoothly.
1. Research beforehand
Filling out the school holidays requires careful preparation, especially if traveling with the family. “Make sure you research before traveling, starting from where you want to go, the conditions at the destination, and what facilities you need. By doing thorough research, we can minimize inconvenience while on vacation with family," Mirna explained.
The public can also compare the various modes of transportation that will be chosen for the holiday. "Through Tokopedia, people can easily see prices for airplane and train tickets and hotel vouchers and order them according to their vacation budget," suggested Mirna.
"We recorded an increase in airplane and train tickets and hotel voucher transactions to several domestic destinations such as Medan, Yogyakarta, Malang, and Bali during the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2023 through Tokopedia," said Mirna.
2. Check Tokopedia promotions so that school holiday expenses are more economical
"Tokopedia has presented many promotions through the 'Tokopedia Liburia' campaign, ranging from discounts of up to IDR 1 million for purchasing accommodations such as hotels, villas, and apartments, airplane tickets to tickets for various tourist destinations and attractions, both in Indonesia and abroad," said Mirna.
"Tokopedia also sees an increase in airplane tickets and hotel transactions to several international destinations such as Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2023 through Tokopedia," said Mirna.
3. Fill it with fun activities
Planning the tourist attractions to be visited is essential for the holidays to be more exciting. "The practicality of buying tickets for tourist attractions, such as botanical gardens or playgrounds, online through Tokopedia makes it easy for the public. Apart from not having to queue, the public can make holidays run more smoothly," said Mirna.
Tokopedia also recorded that the cities of Pasuruan (East Java), Samarinda (East Kalimantan), and Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan) were the regions with the highest increase in the number of buyers of travel products through Tokopedia during the first semester of 2023 compared to the first semester of 2022, with an average increase of almost twofold.
4. Pay off bills before leaving for the school holidays
Pay your bills before leaving for the holiday to avoid late fees and service interruptions when you return home.
"Tokopedia has introduced the Kelola Tagihan feature to make it easier for people to pay for dozens of types of bills and top-ups – including Data Packages, PLN Electricity, m-tix XXI, Internet and Cable TV, Water PDAM, Telkom, Insurance Premiums, Land and Building Taxes, Credit Installments, Electronic Money, Pre and Postpaid Phone Credit, Property, Gas Bills and BPJS for Health and Employment – all at once, via one page," said Mirna.
Through the Kelola Tagihan feature, the public can find details of the bills that must be paid each month and each bill's due date. Also, this feature lets people pay their bills promptly and avoid overdue fines.
"We recorded that transactions for PLN electricity, PDAM water, and PBB taxes on Tokopedia increased by more than 30% during the first semester of 2023 compared to the first semester of 2022. In addition, credit installments through Tokopedia experienced a nearly twofold increase in transactions during the first semester of 2023 compared to the first semester of 2022,” added Mirna.
5. Maintain stamina during the school holidays
Maintaining health during the holidays is very important because holiday travel usually takes long distances and involves intense physical activity. If the body's condition is not fit, the body will quickly get tired and sick, and in the end, you will not be able to enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
During school holidays, it's important to maintain fitness and stamina by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and taking vitamins for endurance. “If you're looking for vitamins and healthy foods, you can find them on Tokopedia NOW! with great promotions, including free shipping and delivery within two hours of payment,” concluded Mirna.
