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.
