July Sees Record-high Tourist Arrivals to Indonesia
In this article (5)
The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded 1.03 million foreign tourist arrivals to Indonesia in July 2016. The number represents a 17.67-percent year-on-year increase from July 2015.
Compared to June 2016, the increase is 20.42 percent.
“This is a new record, with the number foreigners entering Indonesia reaching more than a million in one month,” BPS deputy for Statistic and Distribution Sasmito Hadi Wibowo said in Jakarta Thursday, September 1.
The achievement, he said, is largely thanks to the Tourism Ministry’s intensive campaigns in many parts of the world and the many promotional events held in domestic travel destinations.
Sasmito said the biggest number of tourists came from China, Saudi Arabia, and Australia.
