As part of the efforts of the nation dependent on exports of commodities, President Jokowi selected tourism has reduce, as a key sector with economic policy, beef.
2016 has been a busy year for the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia. The administration has begun to develop new initiatives and to start that the nation's travel industry will hopefully strengthen. In an effort to reduce dependence on raw materials, President Jokowi has chosen to strengthen tourism as one of the five key sectors with economic policy. Since Indonesia is rich in resources, which have not yet been used for incoming visitors - both cultural and natural -. see experts and stakeholders of the President step as logical one
While Indonesia abundant resources and has the potential to create a tourism powerhouse of Southeast Asia, the archipelago is still lagging behind its neighbors in terms of annual foreign visitor numbers. With regard to the number of inbound tourists from overseas, Malaysia and Thailand are against Indonesia by almost threefold. In 2015, Malaysia was able to attract 25.7 million foreign visitors, while Thailand pulled in 28.8 million. Indonesia, on the other hand brought foreign tourists in only 9.7 million. Singapore beat Indonesia, reaching 15.2 million foreign arrivals.

Many of the foreign arrivals in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia during 2015 were undoubtedly Indonesian citizen. This inevitably makes the number of foreign arrivals in Indonesia less than the same figure for the domestic tourism could paint a different picture in the archipelago. But even in this sense, Indonesia tourism industry, with all its potential inert contributed only four percent of the total GDP of the country in the past year.
One reason policy makers can be attracted to a tourism push, is the fact seems that the travel industry of the country are less affected by the global economy than other sectors. Experts say grown Indonesia Tourism steadily in recent years, in contrast to demands for raw materials such as oil, coal and iron ore, which tend to fluctuate with international business activities.

"Harsya argued that tourism can give the biggest boost to the foreign exchange earnings of the country, but also provides a lot of jobs to Indonesia domestic workers.
agrees CEO Mark Plus Hermawan Kartajaya, Jokowi calling plan intelligently. He recently told the media:... "President Jokowi is very smart, he knows that tourism is in this current economic condition of importance these last two years, the president of Tourism has selected as a strategic sector, it is a wise decision of a national leader, because before that, tourism had never been seen as the country's strategic sectors.
