A total of 157,875 visitors were recorded, representing a 12.5% increase from 2025. Average visitor spending reached IDR 8.56 million per person, calculated from one week before the event through the event period.The Mandalika, October 15, 2026 – An economic impact of IDR 5.2 trillion and a record 157,875 visitors marked the success of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. Held on October 9–11, 2026, the event stimulated tourism activities even before the races began, as domestic and international tourists started arriving in large numbers in The Mandalika and surrounding areas as early as one week before the event.Visitor numbers increased by approximately 12.5% compared with 2025, which recorded 140,324 visitors, marking the highest attendance since MotoGP™ was first held in The Mandalika in 2022. Its economic impact also increased by approximately 4.8%, from IDR 4.96 trillion in 2025 to IDR 5.2 trillion in 2026.Acting President Director of ITDC, Ahmad Fajar, stated that these achievements demonstrated the increasingly significant role of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia in driving the tourism economy and creating business opportunities for local communities.“The benefits of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia were already being felt before the races took place. Domestic and international tourists arrived early, stayed at accommodations, enjoyed local cuisine, used local transportation, visited tourist destinations, and purchased souvenirs. These activities expanded the event’s economic benefits, bringing the total impact to IDR 5.2 trillion,” Ahmad Fajar said.He explained that the economic impact study was conducted by the Institute of Industrial Engineering and Management (LETMI) at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), with research carried out before and throughout the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. The study employed an input-output approach based on Statistics Indonesia (BPS) tables, as well as a Keynesian approach to measure the economic multiplier effect.“The economic impact study was prepared by LETMI–ITB using an input-output approach based on BPS tables, along with a Keynesian approach to estimate the economic impact of hosting the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia,” he explained.Ahmad Fajar added that BPS would also release data on the economic impact of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia in the near future. The publication would serve as an independent point of comparison and a means of cross-checking the findings of the LETMI–ITB study, taking into account the alignment of the scope, measurement periods, and methodologies used.“We also look forward to the upcoming publication by BPS. The data will serve as a point of comparison and a means of validating the LETMI–ITB research findings we are presenting today, allowing the economic benefits of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia to be assessed more comprehensively,” he added.The LETMI–ITB calculations covered visitor spending on accommodation, food and beverages, local transportation, entertainment and tourism activities, as well as souvenirs. The study assessed how visitor expenditures stimulated various businesses and generated further economic activity.One of the key findings was that average visitor spending reached IDR 8.56 million per person in 2026, including expenditures by international visitors. This figure covered spending from one week before the event through the event period, capturing the tourism activities of visitors who arrived early to explore The Mandalika and its surrounding destinations.For comparison, average visitor spending in 2023 was recorded at approximately IDR 3.5 million per person during the event. The difference in the periods covered by the calculations is an important factor when interpreting the two figures.“One of the study’s findings was an estimated average visitor expenditure of IDR 8.56 million per person in 2026. According to the presentation by LETMI–ITB, this figure was calculated using a weighted approach that accounted for the composition of domestic and international tourists. Estimated direct visitor expenditure reached IDR 1.35 trillion, covering accommodation, food and beverages, local transportation, entertainment and tourism activities, as well as souvenirs,” Ahmad Fajar revealed.Meanwhile, Chairman of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, Troy Warokka, described the growth in visitor numbers as an encouraging achievement, particularly as it was accompanied by improvements in event organization and visitor comfort.“This year’s visitor growth is very encouraging. The figure of 157,875 surpasses the previous record and demonstrates the growing enthusiasm for the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit. This achievement reflects the collective efforts of all parties involved and serves as motivation to deliver an even better visitor experience,” Troy said.He emphasized that the visitor figure referred to the number confirmed and released by Dorna, based on detailed data from electronic scans of visitor entries. The count covered the main event as well as afternoon and evening side events within Dorna’s reporting scope.“The figure we have announced is based on the confirmation released by Dorna. The calculation uses detailed data from electronic scans of visitor entries, covering both the main event and afternoon and evening side events included in its reporting scope. On this basis, we are confident in the accuracy of the published figure,” Troy explained.Troy also noted that this year’s event was better organized and more orderly than the previous year, as also acknowledged by Minister of Youth and Sports Erick Thohir. According to Troy, this recognition was consistent with feedback from visitors regarding improvements in the overall layout of the event areas.“As Minister of Youth and Sports Erick Thohir stated, this year’s event was much better organized and more orderly than the previous year. Several visitors also praised the improved arrangement of team booths in the paddock area, as well as food stalls and MSME booths. This feedback is an encouragement for the entire organizing team,” Troy said.He added that the presence of local culinary offerings around the paddock and grandstands further enriched the visitor experience, including for international guests. Visitors could enjoy the races while discovering distinctive regional flavors through dishes offered by local businesses.“We want the experience in The Mandalika to be a complete one. In addition to enjoying the races, visitors can also savor local flavors around the paddock and grandstands. For international visitors, this is an opportunity to discover regional cuisine firsthand while helping local MSMEs reach a wider market,” he added.The success of the 2026 Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia marks an important milestone for ITDC in further strengthening The Mandalika as a world-class sport tourism destination. Through continuous improvements in event organization, enhanced destination attractions, and collaboration with various stakeholders, ITDC remains committed to ensuring that the event’s growth is reflected not only in visitor numbers but also in sustainable added value for local communities, MSMEs, and the regional and national economies.

Furthermore, it reflects ITDC’s commitment to creating tourism destinations that provide access and opportunities for persons with disabilities to participate in tourism activities, including international events held in The Mandalika. Through these efforts, we hope to foster a strong sense of belonging among persons with disabilities toward The Mandalika.”The event was also organized with careful consideration of the needs and comfort of participants with disabilities. To ensure that they could take part safely and comfortably, NTB Care provided a sign language interpreter and a dedicated team to assist participants with disabilities throughout their time in the VIP area.One of the participants, Hamzah, a person with a disability from West Lombok, expressed his appreciation for the initiative. “This event has given us a new experience. Although we cannot visually enjoy the atmosphere, not everyone has the opportunity to access this place. We are grateful for this collaboration, which has enabled us to become part of this world-class event,” Hamzah said.Similarly, Usman, a visually impaired participant from Central Lombok, expressed his happiness. “Alhamdulillah, I am happy to have access to this event.

You have also given these individuals dignity and the feeling of being recognized as equal human beings. For persons with disabilities who have long been able to hear the roar of events only from outside the gates, today they are part of the experience itself. This initiative, held from 9–11 October, is part of our shared efforts leading up to the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December,” Yuni said.In addition to providing persons with disabilities with the opportunity to watch the race from the Hospitality VIP Luxury Tent, ITDC also sought to improve accessibility for other spectators with disabilities through its Ask Me team operating at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit. The team identified several spectators with disabilities holding regular tickets who faced mobility challenges when accessing the grandstand area. In coordination with the shuttle team, the Ask Me team arranged pick-ups and drop-offs at the shuttle point at Gate 1, while also assisting spectators with their mobility until they reached the grandstand area corresponding to their respective tickets.“Through this initiative, persons with disabilities hope that collaborations like this will continue and reach more members of the disability community, while providing them with more sustained attention and support. This initiative forms part of ITDC’s commitment to delivering a more inclusive, safe, and comfortable viewing experience for all visitors attending the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026,” Troy Warokka concluded.

The Mandalika, October 11, 2026 – PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero), also known as InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), together with PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk. (BSI) and the Central Lombok Regency Government, is strengthening the role and facilities of Nurul Bilad Mosque through a collaboration to improve worship facilities and rebrand the mosque, located in The Mandalika area, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.This collaboration forms part of the efforts to establish The Mandalika as a world-class tourism destination that excels not only in infrastructure and international event hosting, but also grows in harmony with the social, cultural, and spiritual values of the local community.As a tangible form of support, BSI has donated several mosque facilities, including copies of the Qur’an, 11 rolls of mosque carpeting, a sound system, a vacuum cleaner, a floor polishing machine, and various other cleaning supplies. The assistance is expected to enhance worshippers’ comfort while supporting the sustainable maintenance of Nurul Bilad Mosque’s facilities.Acting President Director of ITDC, Ahmad Fajar, stated that tourism destination development must have a broader meaning than simply constructing physical infrastructure.“For ITDC, building a world-class tourism destination is not merely about providing infrastructure, hotels, or international events. More importantly, we aim to develop an area with a vibrant community, cultural identity, and strong spiritual values.“Nurul Bilad Mosque is an important part of this vision. We want The Mandalika to grow not only as a place visited by tourists, but also as a living space that provides comfort, pride, and tangible benefits to the surrounding community,” Ahmad Fajar said.Nurul Bilad Mosque has a capacity of up to 4,000 worshippers and features architecture inspired by the Ancient Bayan Beleq Mosque, one of the cultural heritage sites of Lombok’s Sasak community. Its distinctive architectural design reflects an effort to provide a place of worship that is not only functional but also possesses a strong local identity.The mosque is one of the key religious facilities in The Mandalika area, serving both the surrounding community and visiting tourists, including those attending various activities and international sporting events such as the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia.Ahmad Fajar added that Nurul Bilad Mosque also represents the spirit of destination development that respects and preserves the community’s noble values.“In keeping with the meaning of its name, Nurul Bilad, we hope this mosque will always serve as a beacon of light, bringing tranquility, peace, and blessings. Not only for the people of Lombok, but also for every guest who comes to The Mandalika from all corners of the world,” he said.Furthermore, the collaboration between ITDC, BSI, and the Central Lombok Regency Government is expected to strengthen Nurul Bilad Mosque’s role as a center for religious and social activities while supporting the creation of a welcoming, comfortable destination environment rooted in local wisdom.Meanwhile, BSI President Director Anggoro Eko Cahyo stated that the support for Nurul Bilad Mosque forms part of BSI’s commitment to expanding its contribution to tourism areas, not only through Islamic banking services but also through its role as a Financial, Spiritual, and Social Partner for the community.“We hope that a mosque can serve not only as a place of worship but also as a center of civilization and a collaborative hub that brings together the community’s diverse potential. We hope Nurul Bilad Mosque will become a place where golden opportunities emerge, where children and young generations learn the Qur’an, develop good character, learn to share, and nurture their love for religion and fellow human beings,” Anggoro said.The synergy among these three parties reflects the importance of collaboration between destination managers, the business sector, and local governments in developing inclusive tourism that delivers sustainable benefits to the community.For ITDC, the development of The Mandalika is directed toward transforming the area from an event destination into a living destination that remains vibrant throughout the year, with an ecosystem integrating sports, tourism, culture, social activities, and community life.Through this collaboration, ITDC reaffirms that a destination’s success is measured not merely by the number of tourists it attracts or the grandeur of its infrastructure, but also by the extent to which the community living in and around the destination experiences meaningful benefits, comfort, and pride.

MotoGP Mandalika must continue to serve as a catalyst for driving the local economy, strengthening MSMEs, creating jobs, and making Indonesia increasingly recognized around the world,” Maya said.Indonesia’s pride was further enhanced by the performances of two national riders in front of their home crowd. Veda Ega Pratama finished sixth in the Moto3 class, while Mario Suryo Aji completed the Moto2 race in 20th place. Their participation forms an important part of MotoGP Mandalika’s legacy in developing the national motorsport ecosystem while inspiring a new generation of Indonesian riders to compete on the world stage.As the state-owned enterprise holding company for the aviation and tourism sectors, InJourney, together with ITDC and MGPA, continues to strengthen the Mandalika ecosystem through destination development, improved connectivity, and greater involvement of local communities and businesses.During the 2025 edition, MotoGP Mandalika engaged more than 3,000 local workers and over 600 MSMEs, with an estimated national economic impact of IDR 4.96 trillion. This achievement serves as an important benchmark for the 2026 edition, alongside the increase in spectator numbers and economic activity throughout this year’s Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia.“For us, the success of MotoGP does not end when the checkered flag is waved. The legacy we want to build is one in which more tourists visit Mandalika, more MSMEs grow, more jobs are created, and Indonesia’s position on the global tourism map becomes stronger. This is how MotoGP becomes part of Indonesia’s journey toward global recognition,” Maya said.Meanwhile, Chairman of the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026 and InJourney Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) Director of Operations, Troy Warokka, expressed his appreciation to all parties who contributed to the success of this year’s event, including the central and regional governments, ministries and institutions, security personnel, sponsor partners, communities, MSMEs, volunteers, and the people of West Nusa Tenggara.“We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to everyone who contributed to the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia 2026. Organizing an event of this scale requires close coordination and cooperation among various stakeholders, from the government and security personnel to event partners and the local communities who supported activities throughout the Mandalika area,” Troy said.He explained that this collaboration provides an important foundation for continuously improving the quality of international event management at The Mandalika. In addition to ensuring the smooth running of the races, MotoGP also forms part of the efforts to optimize the use of the area, encourage local business participation, and expand economic opportunities that benefit surrounding communities.Troy added that the experience gained from this year’s event would serve as an evaluation basis for future events, covering inter-stakeholder coordination, operational readiness, and community involvement.“We want every MotoGP event in Mandalika to deliver greater added value, not only for the area and the tourism industry but also for the people of West Nusa Tenggara. Therefore, the synergy that has been established must be continuously maintained so that the benefits of hosting international events can be enjoyed sustainably,” Troy concluded.
