The number of tourist arrivals in China

Foreign tourists visited Indonesia between 2009 - 2013
The
line graph shows the number of visitors to Indonesia from 2009 – 2013.
As
we see from year 2009 to 2012 the numbers shows us a steady growth. There was
no significant increase during that time. In the other hand, It took 4 years to
reach 8 million visitors to come to Indonesia. This is actually a very slow
movement according Arief Yahya, Indonesia’s Minister Tourism.
Furthermore
in order to improved that situation, in 2012 Indonesia’s government launced a new
regulation for tourist from some country do not need to apply visa to visit
Indonesia. And this regulation culminated in a significant increased of visitor by
2012. As shows in the graph, it reached almost more than 1 million tourists in
only one year, from 2012 to 2013.
Over all, these data shows
that Indonesian tourism growth was satisfactory. Between 2009 - 2013, there was
never any decreasing. Hopefully next year, the number of tourists who come to
Indonesia will continue to rise even better.
