Suggestions on tourism
From Koran Tempo
As described in the 100-day program announced the tourism
minister, the important part of the plan to boost the inflow of
foreign tourists is security, which will be maintained in
coordination with all levels of the government's security
agencies.
Other factors, however, are also no less important. Tourism
infrastructure needs to be improved and/or built and tourist
destinations should be further diversified. Potential regions are
on Komodo island (to see the Komodo Dragon), and other places
where tourists can see orangutans, go diving, experience all the
marine beauty in Sulawesi, travel on the lakes in Sumatra and
view historic relics throughout Java and Bali.
It is also essential to combine the appealing spots with local
culture and performing arts so that they become interesting
packages never to be forgotten by tourists. A good example is
Villa Escudero outside of Manila. The Filipinos offer a package
that includes history, arts, traditions, natural beauty and
hospitality.
Therefore, the image of a region should come first, though
targets of foreign tourists can also be set. It is also extremely
useful to cooperate with domestic and international travel agents
so that visitors will come from various countries, instead of
focusing on one or two only.
