Labuan Bajo — Manggarai Barat’s gross regional domestic product (PDRB) was reported at around Rp5 trillion in 2025, with annual economic growth of 5.82%, according to a macro statistics update published by Databoks on 19 August 2026.
The Databoks item presents the figure as PDRB at current prices by sector for Manggarai Barat regency in East Nusa Tenggara, but the public portion of the page does not display the underlying sector table.
As a result, the accessible data confirm the headline size of the local economy and its overall growth rate in 2025, but do not identify which industries contributed most to that expansion.
Headline figures for Manggarai Barat
The Databoks article is titled “PDRB Kabupaten Manggarai Barat 2025: Rp5 Triliun, Tumbuh 5,82 Persen” and is dated 19 August 2026.
It reports that the regency’s PDRB at current prices reached roughly Rp5 trillion in 2025 and that the economy grew by 5.82% that year.
The geography is explicitly stated as Manggarai Barat, a regency in East Nusa Tenggara province that includes Labuan Bajo, a major tourism gateway for Komodo National Park.
Databoks attributes its figures to official statistics and classifies the data as PDRB at current prices by sector, implying an underlying breakdown by economic activity.
However, the free-access portion of the page only shows the headline numbers and a premium-content notice, without publishing the detailed sector table or shares.
Limits of the accessible sector data
Because the sector-level values are not visible, the available material cannot establish whether tourism-linked services, agriculture, trade, transport or other activities made the largest contribution to Manggarai Barat’s economy in 2025.
Nor can it show whether tourism-related sectors increased or decreased their share of total PDRB during that year.
Without the granular table from the underlying official source, it is not possible to rank sectors by size or growth, or to state which industries drove the 5.82% expansion.
Any comparison between tourism and non-tourism sectors therefore remains speculative unless supported by the full sector breakdown from statistics authorities or a complete reproduction of that table.
Why sector detail remains important
The total PDRB figure indicates the overall scale of Manggarai Barat’s economy, while sector data show where economic activity is concentrated and how different industries perform relative to each other.
For a destination that hosts major tourism sites, such as Labuan Bajo and the surrounding marine park, a sector-by-sector view would help distinguish direct tourism services from related businesses and from activities less exposed to visitor flows.
It would also provide a reference baseline for evaluating any later disruption or policy measures, including how shocks or infrastructure investment affect tourism, agriculture, trade, transport and other sectors over time.
Until more detailed official statistics for 2025 are publicly accessible at sector level, the 5.82% figure should be treated as an aggregate growth rate for Manggarai Barat’s economy, not as evidence that every sector expanded at the same pace.
The currently visible Databoks report does not state which sectors grew fastest, which contracted, or how much each contributed to the total increase.
