| 'Wonderful Indonesia' campaign boosts tourism industry. Executions are carefully left out of the picture, except on this DPN-edited campaign poster. |
The government�s efforts to promote tourism in the archipelago with its Wonderful Indonesia campaign have had a positive impact, the president director of tour and travel company Panorama Sentrawisata said on Tuesday.
Budi Tirtawisata said that in the first six months of this year, his company booked a 19 percent increase in gross revenue to Rp 2.38 trillion, from Rp 1.99 trillion in the same period last year, as more foreigners were drawn to Indonesia.
�The government�s free visa policy is also contributing to growth in the tourism sector,� Budi told reporters at a press conference in Jakarta.
Budi was upbeat the company�s business volume would increase, and possibly double, in the second half of 2016, compared to the first half, because more tourism activities were expected to take place in the period.
�The peak season for tourist visits to Indonesia is during the summer, which occurs in the second half of the year,� Budi said, adding that more tourists would also visit the country during the Christmas holidays in December.
