Tourism in Indonesia is an important
component of the Indonesian economy as well as a significant source of foreign
exchange. In 2013 the tourism sector contributes around US $10 billion of
foreign exchange, and is estimated will surpassed US $11 billion in 2014. The
Indonesian tourism sector ranked as the 4th largest among goods and
service export sectors.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism
of Indonesia has been launched several campaign to promote Indonesian tourism
sectors. The first campaign called “Visit
Indonesia” launched on 1991, until 2012 this campaign were success to make
a significant income to our country.
After “Visit Indonesia” launched, on 2013 the Ministry of Culture and
Tourism of Indonesia launched the next campaign to replace the old one. The
next campaign was “Wonderful Indonesia”.
The difference between “Wonderful
Indonesia” and “Visit Indonesia” was
on the cultural sectors, they want to introduce Indonesian culture to the world
. The government hopes that this campaign will bring Indonesian culture abroad,
and also can giving more contribution for the economic sector.
