Indonesia tightens regulations on short-term rentals, including Airbnb

Indonesia is implementing new regulations to increase oversight of short-term accommodation services, including those on platforms like Airbnb. All online listed accommodations must obtain necessary business licenses by March 31 to ensure tourism growth, prevent tax evasion, and create a fair business environment. This regulation follows Bali's proposal to halt short-term rentals due to lost tax revenue, as Indonesia aims to boost its tourism sector.
