Tourism and the Economy The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) reports that foreign exchange from tourism is second only to the lucrative gas and oil sector, whilst the WTTC states that the industry directly generates around 3.9% of total GDP. Indirectly, the WTTC believes that tourism's contribution to GDP rises to 10.3%. Similarly, the sector employs over 3.1 million people directly (3.2% of the total workforce), and 8.5 million indirectly (8.5% of the total). Despite the difficulties faced by the tourism industry, and indeed the fall in foreign arrivals since 1997, the trade, restaurant and hotel sector has actually managed to raise its share of Indonesia' s gross domestic product (GDP), with an especially strong performance during the first three quarters of 2003. In a bid to reduce its independence on oil as its major export earner, the Indonesian government made foreign investment opportunities as appealing as possible, although what was an extremely liberal visa system has been tightened up somewhat in the past 12 months.

Foreign expenditure Tourist expenditure has declined in tandem Adv. 1. in tandem - one behind the other; "ride tandem on a bicycle built for two"; "riding horses down the path in tandem" tandem with arrivals in recent years. From a peak of US$5.7 billion in 2000, expenditure from foreign tourists fell consistently, and by almost 30%, in the subsequent three years. This was far more severe than the 11% fall in foreign arrivals during the same period, due to the fact that there were major losses from the high-spending long-haul markets like the UK, Germany and the US, as well as regional source markets such as Australia and Japan. During this three-year period, expenditure from the top market Singapore fell by 15.8%, Japan by 35.4% and Australia by 48.5%. Further afield, expenditure from the US declined by 31.9%, from the UK by 50.7% and from Germany by 32.1%. In 2000, average spend per trip stood at $1,135, but by 2003 it had fallen to $903. Looking at the base year of 2000, average expenditure per trip was particularly high amongst the Western long-haul markets such as the UK ($1,130), the US ($1,085) and Germany ($1,122), but it was highest of all from Australia ($1,327).

WTTC estimates, the number of tourism jobs grew in 2004 after a difficult start to the millennium. Tourism's share of employment has gained importance accordingly, but the WTTC's belief that the sector can account for almost one in ten jobs during the next decade will be strongly challenged by the difficulties facing the organised travel industry in the immediate aftermath of the tsunami and recent earthquake. Arrivals The spectacular increases in tourism arrivals in the first half of the 1990s were tempered during the final years of the decade. During the ten-year period from 1985 through 1994, Indonesia's annual tourism arrivals grew from 749,400 to 4,006,300 at an average annual growth rate of 19.3%. However, a combination of SARS, terrorism and shrinking long-haul markets have combined to cause stagnation Stagnation A period of little or no growth in the economy. Economic growth of less than 2-3% is considered stagnation. Sometimes used to describe low trading volume or inactive trading in securities. Notes: A good example of stagnation was the U.S. economy in the 1970s. and decline in recent years, and by the close of 2003, arrivals were down by more than 12% against 2001 's peak performance of 5.1 million arrivals. As of February 2004, the government applied a new visa-on-arrival (VoA) system to citizens from 20 selected countries, requiring them to pay $30 tourist visas, replacing the previous system whereby 60day visas were granted to citizens from 49 different countries. Source markets Between 2000 and 2003, arrivals from Asean countries grew by 6.7%, whilst all other markets (with the exception of the Middle East) dwindled. By 2003, the Asean market generated 45.3% of total arrivals, compared with just over 37% three years earlier. This growth is almost exclusively down to the progression of Singapore as Indonesia's number one market source of visitors. Between 2000 and 2003, arrivals from Singapore grew by an impressive 13.0% to exceed 1.4 million and account for a massive 31.7% of the total market. The next most important market, Japan (which held a 14% share in 2000) has had its own economic difficulties and declined by over 29% since and in 2003 generated only 11% of total arrivals. During the same three years, arrivals from Australia fell by 29% as a result of the bomb attack on so many of its people in Bali. Taiwan has proved more resilient See resiliency. , with its decline measured at 7.8%. Arrivals also declined from Western markets such as the USA (-32.8%), the UK (-37.2%) and Germany (-25.8%). 2004 According to the Indonesia Culture and Tourism Board, total arrivals grew by 27.7% to 1.36 million during the first four months of 2004. During the same period, foreign tourists passing through the 13 main gates of entry in April grew by 57.5% to 322,146, in spite of in opposition to all efforts of; in defiance or contempt of; notwithstanding.

Despite this, variation does exist, with December, July and August considered peak months. However, since the late 1990s, with the decline of the holiday market, the importance of December had already diminished, prior to the sharp decline in the final two months of 200, following the bomb attack in Bali. Duration of stay When comparing the length of stay for international visitors from Asia markets, Japanese visitors stay nearly twice as long, on average, than visitors from Singapore. This is due to Singapore's proximity to Indonesia in general, and the growth of resorts accessible by boat from Singapore's central business district. The strong business component also keeps average duration of stay down amongst the Asian markets, whilst amongst the more leisure-orientated longer-haul markets from Europe, it comfortably exceeds an average of two weeks. Transport Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta and Ngurah Rai Airport Ngurah Rai Airport (IATA: DPS, ICAO: WADD), also known as Bali International Airport, is located in southern Bali, 13 km south of Denpasar. It is Indonesia's third-busiest international airport, after Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and in Bali were traditionally the principal ports of arrival, although both have suffered in recent years, with Jakarta increasingly perceived in a negative light and Bali affected by 2002's bomb attacks, not long after Garuda Indonesia had opted to designate des·ig·nate tr.v. des·ig·nat·ed, des·ig·nat·ing, des·ig·nates 1.

Its northern province has consistently been the country's fifth or sixth most popular destination over the past five years. In 2003, guests in Jakarta fell by over 13% and in Bali by over 15%, but the latter still attracted almost 35% of guestnights.
