Promotion of Visit Indonesia Year 2008 Slowly Moves
Tag it:
Government’s effort to attract tourists through Visit Indonesia Year [VIY] 2008 program is hindered by the slow socialization of this program. One of its indicators is the ununified Indonesia’s hotels in socializating the VIY 2008 program. Therefore each district and province must actively socialize the program. Recently its method tends to more emphasize on district role. It can not use the command way as previous time because of democratic principles applied through district’s autonomy.
At the 46th anniversary and graduation of students of Tourism Academy Bandung, Saturday (15/3) in Bandung Mr. Jero Wacik, the minister of culture and tourism, said that most of socialization’s policy of VIY 2008 were assigned to the district, therefore the ministry of culture and tourism restricts the budget allocation for district or province. The capable provinces will finance itself while the incapable one will be subsidized by the Government.
Total budget for socialization of tourism is IDR 200 billion. Government subsidize fund in amount of IDR 60 billion to five provinces, that are West Sumatera, North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara. Meanwhile the remain budget will be handled by the ministry of culture and tourism for socialization of VIY 2008 program in Indonesia entirely. Indeed the budget for promoting Indonesia’s tourism is not large as other Asian countries that gives wide freedom in offering tourism. Malaysia budget for tourism is five times larger than Indonesia, but they allow casino that successfully invites more than 7 million tourists to visit Malaysia. However in 2009, government set up a target of 7 million foreign tourists or increase around 21% from 5.5 million total foreign tourist in 2007 .
To succeed the VIY 2008, the ministry of culture and tourism cooperates with the ministry of state-owned enterprise, particularly PT Angkasa Pura, to do repair and cleaning the rest room and toilet at all airports in Indonesia. Beside that, the ministry of culture and tourism also add international flight routes and ease in giving visa on arrival. Government also add to all ambassadors of Indonesia to socialize VIY in abroad.
Beginning in 2008 up to 2009, prospect of hotel in Indonesia will increase in line with the increase of activities of politic parties welcoming Indonesia general elections and the election of district head in some hotel.
The mayor of Bandung, Mr. Dada Rosada said, that VIY 2008 should be kept running. Bandung has set up target of foreign visitor in 2008 in amount of 2 million tourists. The revenue of Kota Bandung for the last 3 years from tourism sector has reached IDR 50 billion.
