Taman Impian Jaya Ancol has reaffirmed its appeal as one of Jakarta's premier Family Tourist Destinations. Among its various attractions, the beach remains visitors' top choice during Eid Holiday.

From March 21-24, 2026, management of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk recorded 201,465 visitors to Ancol.

"The beach area remains visitors' Favorite Destination, followed by popular attractions like Dunia Fantasi, Sea World, and Samudra," stated PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol Tbk's Corporate Communication Manager, Daniel Windriatmoko, on Wednesday.

This phenomenon reflects urban communities' emotional connection to natural landscapes, even curated ones like Ancol's.

Calm waves, gentle sea breezes, and sandy shores provide an instant escape from the city's fast pace.

To maintain appeal, management introduced additional entertainment including fireworks shows at Lagoon Beach. Strategic promotions also played a crucial role.

The "buy four get one Free" entrance ticket promotion for all recreational facilities proved effective, especially for family vacations.

However, the visitor surge required infrastructure readiness. Management expanded parking capacity to accommodate over 10,000 cars and 16,000 motorcycles, utilizing the E-Prix area as additional parking.

"For the beach area, we direct parking to the spacious E-Prix zone. Additional parking is also available in central to western areas," he explained.

Behind this comfort, security remains a priority. Management ensures optimal service systems, from area security to handling lost items or family members.
