CONDITION OF INTERNATIONAL TOURISM
Based on the data cited from the WTO, in 2000 foreign tourists (tourists) international reach of 698 million people who are able to create an income of USD 476 billion. Growth in tourist numbers in the decade of the 90s by 4.2% while revenue growth of 7.3 percent of foreign tourists, even in the 28 countries a message revenue grew 15 per year.
While the number of domestic tourists in each country even greater in number and this group is the prime mover of the national economy. as a picture of the number of domestic tourists in Indonesia in 2000 amounted to 134 million with expenditures of Rp. 7.7 trillion. This amount will increase with the ease to access an area.
Based of these figures it is fitting when tourism is categorized into the largest industrial groups world (the world's largest industry).

Based on these estimates then, the perpetrators of Indonesia's tourism should do careful planning and targeted to address the challenges and seize opportunities that will be scattered. Utilization of opportunities should be made through the approach; repositioning; existence of each tourism activities since the beginning of investment, promotion, creation of tourism products, international marketing network setup, and preparation of qualified human resources.
All of this must be prepared to meet international standards so it can be more competitive and attractive,
compared with similar activities from countries around Indonesia.
