We know that nowadays there are a lot of wild practices that come along and exist, a misconduct in handling foreign tourists whose presence is often unfavorable for Indonesia's image as one of the world-class tourist destinations. Trading that is often made chaotic, unfair competition, slamming prices, monopolistic practices, individual businesses that are not incorporated, etc. etc. The presence of iintoa as an equal partner of the government is expected to be a "think-tanker" of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in issuing various policies in regulating trade system and healthy promotion, as well as the company's existence in the field of inbound tourism.

Online trading transaction or e-commerce in Indonesia have a bright future and marketplace is one of the biggest players in Indonesia’s e-commerce business. So far, tourism in the country does not have a marketplace owned by the Indonesian enterprise who directly help and fully support the inbound tour operators in Indonesia.

The benefits of its member who are using the marketplace that their products can be link with other overseas marketplace because both ITDP and TravelBiz are API (application programing interface) ready which defines interactions between multiple software intermediaries.
Both ITDP and TravelBiz give flexibilities to small teams representing iintoa to become qualified curators for tour operators to become supplier of ITDP or TravelBiz.
