TANGERANG, BANTEN, October 8, 2026 — Planning the next company outing, team-building program, or incentive trip just became easier.

The second edition of the Indonesia Outing & Incentive Travel Expo (IOITE) 2026 officially opened today at NICE PIK 2, Tangerang, Banten, bringing together hotels, resorts, venues, destinations, travel providers, experiential learning companies, and other industry players under one roof.

Organized by Panorama Media, IOITE 2026 runs from October 8 to 11, 2026, with Business Matching taking center stage. The event is designed to help business owners, HR professionals, procurement teams, and corporate incentive planners find the right partners for employee programs—from domestic getaways and corporate gatherings to international incentive travel.

For companies looking to make every rupiah count, the timing could not be more relevant.

Where Employee Experiences Meet Smarter Corporate Spending

IOITE 2026 takes place as Indonesia’s MICE industry continues to gain momentum. The government is pushing to strengthen Indonesia’s position as an ASEAN MICE hub, while the accommodation and food-and-beverage sectors recorded 13.14% growth and domestic tourism reached around 106 million trips in May 2026.

At the same time, companies are becoming increasingly selective about how they allocate their budgets.

Employee outings and incentive trips remain valuable tools for maintaining motivation, strengthening teams, and supporting employee retention. But today’s corporate planners are looking beyond simply organizing a fun trip. They want programs that are relevant, measurable, and aligned with business objectives.

That is where IOITE aims to make a difference.

One of the expo’s key features, Business Matching, connects exhibitors with potential buyers through targeted meetings. Instead of spending weeks contacting vendors individually, corporate teams can meet relevant providers, discuss their objectives and budgets, and compare solutions directly.

“Companies today are no longer simply looking for vendors. They are looking for partners who truly understand their needs and budgets,” said Andita Tirtawisata, Director of Panorama Media.

“That is why we have made Business Matching one of the key focuses of IOITE. We want every meeting here to have the potential to lead to a real partnership, while allowing visitors to go home with a concrete employee-program plan for next year.”

From Local Getaways to International Incentive Trips

With dozens of exhibitors participating, IOITE 2026 offers corporate visitors plenty of options to explore in a single visit.

The exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of the industry, including hotels and resorts, venues, tourism destinations, recreational parks, team-building and experiential-learning providers, travel agents, and travel package operators.

The expo also has an international dimension.

Among the international exhibitors is the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO), showcasing destinations and experiences across South Korea that can be tailored to corporate incentive travel. Other international exhibitors include Namsan Toursm and Hobiholidays.

For HR and corporate incentive teams, this creates an opportunity to compare international destinations and speak directly with providers—without having to start the search from scratch.

And IOITE is not exclusively for corporate planners.

Several exhibitors are also offering deals for individual visitors, making the weekend a good opportunity for families and friends to explore holiday packages and special promotions available during the expo.

More Than an Expo: Learning, Networking and Team-Building Ideas

Beyond products and destinations, IOITE 2026 features a four-day program of seminars, workshops, networking sessions, and other supporting activities.

One of the highlights is the Corporate & HR Learning Session featuring coach Haryanto Kandani, offering practical insights for HR professionals and corporate leaders looking to build stronger and more productive teams.

The growing role of experiential learning is also reflected at the expo.

Gigih Gesang, Chairman of the Central Executive Board of the Association of Experiential Learning Indonesia (AELI), said the way companies view employee outings has changed significantly.

“Companies now want every rupiah spent on employee programs to create an impact, whether in teamwork, leadership, or workplace culture,” he said.

“Experiential learning addresses this need. At IOITE, HR professionals can see a wide range of programs designed around clear objectives—not simply activities that amount to a holiday.”

Meanwhile, Irvan Mahidin Sukamto, Chairman of the Central Executive Board of the Indonesian Event Industry Association (IVENDO), sees IOITE as an important platform for collaboration across the industry.

“Corporate activities such as gatherings, outings, and incentive trips activate a very broad business ecosystem, from venues, hotels, and transportation to catering and creative industries,” he said.

“When demand and supply are brought together on a platform such as IOITE, collaboration can grow, creating an impact across Indonesia’s MICE, tourism, hospitality, and corporate-experience industries.”

NICE PIK 2 Welcomes IOITE for Its Second Edition

As the host venue, Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE) PIK 2 is also welcoming IOITE back for its second edition.

“We are proud that NICE PIK 2 has been trusted to host IOITE, alongside FLEI Business Show and Café & Brasserie Expo,” said Maya Gustiana, General Manager of NICE.

“Events like these demonstrate that the MICE industry continues to move forward, while more companies are looking for quality experiences for their employees. We are committed to providing the best facilities and services so exhibitors and visitors can enjoy a comfortable and memorable exhibition experience.”

BCA Adds Business and Shopping Incentives

The expo also comes with special offers from PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), the event’s official bank partner.

Visitors can enjoy instant cashback for 150 transactions per day when making payments via QRIS on myBCA. They can also take advantage of 50% BCA Reward cashback, with a minimum redemption of Rp50,000, for transactions made using BCA Credit Cards.

Beyond promotional offers, visitors can also discover Ocean by BCA, BCA’s integrated digital business portal designed to provide around 100 solutions for businesses.

Its services cover areas ranging from transactions and financing to operational management, while also connecting businesses with BCA’s broader business network.

One Ticket, Three Exhibitions

Another attraction for visitors is the expo’s three-in-one format.

IOITE 2026 is being held alongside FLEI Business Show, an exhibition focused on franchises, licensing, and business opportunities, and Café & Brasserie Expo (CBE), which serves the café, restaurant, and broader F&B industry.

With a single ticket, visitors can access all three exhibitions.

Access to FLEI Business Show and CBE begins on October 9, 2026, when the two exhibitions officially open.

For business owners, HR professionals, procurement teams, and corporate incentive planners, the combination offers an opportunity to explore not only employee-experience solutions, but also potential business and F&B opportunities in one visit.

A New Way to Plan the Corporate Experience

As companies rethink how they spend on employee engagement, corporate outings and incentive travel are increasingly moving beyond the traditional concept of a company trip.

The focus is shifting toward experiences that strengthen relationships, support company culture, develop leadership, and deliver tangible value to both employees and the organization.

That shift is precisely where IOITE 2026 hopes to position itself: not simply as a marketplace for travel and venues, but as a place where companies can discover ideas, meet the right partners, and turn employee-experience budgets into purposeful programs.

IOITE 2026 runs from October 8 to 11, 2026, at NICE PIK 2, Tangerang, Banten.
