Tourism is the travel for recreational, leisure,
family, or business purposes, usually of a limited duration. Tourism is
commonly associated with trans-national travel,
but may also refer to travel to another location within the same country.
Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. It can be domestic or
international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications
on a country’s balance of payments. [Wikipedia]
Nature and culture are major component of Indonesian
tourism. The natural heritage can boast a unique combination of a tropical climate,
a vast archipelago of 17.508 islands, 6000 of them being inhabited, the third
longest shoreline in the world after Canada and the European Union. The beaches
in Bali, diving sites in Bunaken, Mount Bromo in East Java, Lake Toba, and various
national parks in Sumatra are just a fex examples of popular scenic destinations.
The natural attractions in Indonesia are complemented by a rich curtural
heritage.

There are so many gains and a little bit losses for
Indonesia’s tourism. The gains are tourism in Indonesia is a major source of income
for Indonesia, and affects the economy of both the source and host country, in
some cases it is of vital importance. Tourism is an activity essential to the
life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural,
educational, and economic sectors of national societies and on their
international relations. Tourism brings in large amounts of income into
indonesia’s economy in the form of payment for goods and services needed by
tourist.
In 2013, based on World Economic Forum survey,
Indonesia got Tourism Competitiveness Index score 4.0 and rank at number 70 (up
from number 74 in 2011 and number 81 in 2009) from 140 countries. Aspects that
need to be improved in order to move rank ladder
are tourism and ICT infrastructures, health and hygiene, environmental
sustainability, and affinity for travel and tourism. Some of the challenges Indonesia’s tourism
industry has to face include the development of infrastructure to support
tourism across the sprawling archipelago, incursions of the industry into local
traditions, and the impact of tourism
development on the life of local people. The tourism industry in
Indonesia has also faced setbacks due to problems related to security.
