<h1>Rising Costs Dampen Eid al-Fitr Celebrations in Indonesia; 24% Drop in Travel Amid Economic Struggles.</h1> In Indonesia, the Eid al-Fitr holiday spirit has been dampened due to rising prices for essentials, leading to reduced consumer spending and travel. The number of Eid travellers dropped by 24% compared to last year, and money circulation during the holiday is expected to decrease significantly. Economic pressures, including currency depreciation and mass layoffs, have weakened consumer spending, affecting household consumption, a key GDP driver. Despite these challenges, the government introduced measures to stimulate economic activity, such as discounts and cash assistance. However, many families, like Endang Trisilowati's, are forced to scale down their celebrations due to economic hardship.
