ASTINDO is the Indonesian Travel Agents Association, established on November 10, 1999, by twenty five Travel Agent leaders which also supported by the Minister of Culture and Tourism.

The establishment of ASTINDO was encouraged by the problems of ticketing business with Airlines, due to Indonesia currency devaluation in 1998, where Travel Agent needs to be accommodated under the Directorate General of Air Transportation.

Therefore the establishment of ASTINDO was declared in 1999 and inaugurated through the Minister of Transportation of The Republic Indonesia’s Decree (SK) No. KP 263 of 2000.
