Domestic visitors and Asian tourists, it is hoped, will rise

Domestic visitors and Asian tourists, it is hoped, will rise
enough to compensate for the decreasing number of travelers from
the U.S., Australia and Europe she said.

Meanwhile, the management of Kempinski hotel said it was still
relying on its international networks to bolster business.

"We will continue to look for foreign visitors through our
global networks," Kempinski's public relations director Uraini
Umarjadi said.

"But surely, we will also further secure visitors from Asia,
given that many international companies have their regional
headquarters here," she said, adding that about 95 percent of the
foreign visitors came to Jakarta for business.

Robert said his office would support such alternative efforts
to assist the country's tourist-related businesses.

"We will, for example, propose a series of tourist promotions
to attract a larger number of domestic visitors," he said.
