Indonesia Tourism Development

Various international organizations including UN, World Bank and World Tourism Organization (WTO), has acknowledged that tourism is an integral part of human life, especially concerning social and economic activities.

In addition, the tourism sub-sector was expected to move the people's economy, because the sector is considered the most prepared in terms of facilities, equipment and infrastructure compared to other business sectors. Hope was developed in a community empowerment strategy through the development of populist-based tourism or community-based tourism development.
