The Indonesian government has allocated an additional 2.2 trillion rupiahs (176 million USD) to its tourism and innovative economic sector, 75 percent of which will be spent on tourism promotion in foreign countries, with a focus on Singapore, Malaysia, China and Australia.
Earlier, Head of the Indonesian Tourism Promotion Board (BPPI) Wiryanti Sukamdani said the tourism industry has set its sights on attracting 20 million foreign vacationers in 2019, buoyed by breakthroughs in its policies, such as removing visa application procedures for tourists from Australia, China, the Republic of Korea and Russia.
According to the National Statistics Office (BPS), 8.52 million foreigners visited Indonesia from January to November 2014, up 7.29 percent year-on-year from the previous record of 7.94 million.
