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. Starting from activities that previously only enjoyed by a handful of people who are relatively rich in the early 20th century, have now become part of human rights, as stated by John Naisbitt in his book Global Paradox namely, that "w here once travel was Considered a privilege of the moneyed elite, now it is Considered a basic human right.
