consisting of hundreds of ethnic culture, and customs are held. Indeed

travelers so that always invites the world to come. The potential to be
developed as an economic activity that can generate foreign exchange.
Basically
the goal to develop the country's tourism industry is to increase state revenue
income. As for profits - profits that are expected with the development of
tourism infrastructure in a region or an area such as a rising industry,
especially those related to tourist services such as activities of travel
agencies, transportation, hospitality, restaurant, arts and culture of the
area. Therefore needs further promotion.

tourists as well archipelago. Like a product, the packaging must be beautiful
Indonesian tourism promotion in order to attract attention. This looks great
capital has not been matched with a maximum promotional efforts. According
Esthy Reko Astuti, Director General of Tourism Marketing Kemenparekraf, a
targeted promotion strategy to market the tourism product, one of Indonesia's
natural potential. However, unfortunately several factors, such as access and
facilities, inadequate hinder the development of tourism in Indonesia.
Need
attention from other related sectors were very influential. For example, from
the central and local governments that have tourism potential. If you would
like to promote a local area but no less care and tourism as their primary
sector, it will be difficult to develop. Thus the necessary awareness of the
central government and local governments are also not behind the private sector
to develop tourism development. It is important for a balance carried people's
lives, both economically, socio-cultural, and other sectors.

II. DISCUSSION
A. Indonesia's
tourism industry to boost the economy
Various international organizations such as the UN, World
Bank and World
Tourism Organization (WTO), has
recognized that tourism is an integral part of
human life, especially regarding social and economic
activities. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), cumulatively, the
tourism sector is able to employ
about 230 million jobs and contributes hundreds of billions of dollars to
the economy in many countries.
Based on data from the Central Bureau
of Statistics, in the year 2010, the number
of tourist arrivals to Indonesia
from 20 entrances,
some 7 million
people (up approximately 10.74% over the previous year), with the average stay
for 7-8 days and average average
expenditure of approximately U.S. $ 995 (in 2009). These data indicate
that in the perspective of national development, the tourism sector has
contributed significantly to the increase in Gross
Domestic Product (GDP), especially
when associated with Hospitality And Restaurant
Sectors.
Various strategies and promotion of
tourism product development
both on public and private. From the government
is necessary to change the policy
priorities so that the role of facilitator can be optimized to anticipate
this. On the other hand there is
the portion of the activities that must be prepared and
implemented by the private sector, which has the sense of business because it is the nature of business-oriented activities. By simple
division such promotional
efforts will be
taken to the
steps where the central
government to the country-image promotion,
regional destination promotion perform in
accordance with their respective
areas of excellence, while
private industry or
product promotion perform each industry.
Governmental duties primarily as a facilitator for the activities undertaken by the private sector tourism may grow more
rapidly. Facilitator's role here
can be interpreted as creating a comfortable climate for perpetrators of cultural activities and tourism
can be developed efficiently
and effectively.
Synergistic cooperation between local governments, the private sector and the community in
developing the tourism sector
in the region, so
as to realize a good tourism
management in all areas of
support, so it can have a significant impact on tourist attraction, which
in turn will increase
revenue, income communities,
and also contributed
to the increase in foreign exchange.
Local Governments should give special attention to improving
the success of the tourism sector,
such as by allocating budget funds proportionate to finance the construction of tourism infrastructure (such as roads, electricity,
and telecommunications), facilitate public and
private sector in managing tourism potential (such as cultural tourism and travel
nature), as well as the promotion and marketing
of tourism potential in the region. Synergy of three
pillars of tourism management, the local
government, private sector, and
communities, is a major force in improving the development of the tourism sector. Weakness role
of one of the pillars, would greatly hamper
efforts to develop tourism.
B. How to improve
Indonesia Tourism
Various methods Kemenparekraf to
introduce Indonesia to the world community. Currently, Indonesia is aggressively promoting tourism through international events. For the sake of expanding, formed the Indonesian Tourism Promotion Board (ARDI) in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy
(Kemenparekraf). Chairman of ARDI, Yanti Sukamdani
have 3 final step
in maximizing the promotion of tourism, namely:
1. Promotion during
low season
Months flooded or high tourist season is
during the holidays, especially school holidays. Meanwhile, the tourism business rate would still walk despite low season. Chairman of ARDI, Yanti Sukamdani
explained several ways to enliven tourism
low season time by
giving cheap tickets for onward travel and
discounts are also interesting from the hotel.
A lonely traveler season, usually lasts
from late January to March and October to
early December. At that moment,
these hotels give discounts and promos are interesting, to keep
attract tourists.
2. Creative Economy
Batik is known to foreign
tourists. Following batik,
woven cloth began to manifest themselves. Not only that, carvings and
wood carvings typical
of Indonesia also appeared to
attract the attention of the tourists. Various kinds of handicrafts typical of the region could be a trigger for tourism.
In addition to crafts, fairs and international
events was the
main attraction for tourists. Art
exhibitions and theater performances are often visited by the actors and art lovers from abroad. Indirectly,
their arrival also bring in foreign exchange for the country.
3. Green tourism
Currently, green tourism or eco-tourism
is booming in the traveler. Traveling with responsibility for nature, many
people have become conscious. To increase the awareness, ARDI will be more
incentive to promote this type of tourism. In addition to raising awareness of
tourists, ecotourism is also very helpful natural beauty. With the subdued
nature, many tourists who will continue to fall in love with Indonesia. As a
tropical country with diverse tourism destination, Indonesia could attract
foreign tourists (tourists) and domestic (domestic tourists). However, tourism
is still a lot of infrastructure that needs to be fixed. On that basis, the
Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) invite other
ministries to improve the tourism infrastructure of the country.
4. Technology and
tourism
Internet is not simply a mere technological
findings, but also a teacher to educate
people find various
information (including information on tourism) he wants, so it makes life a lot
easier. Travelers now can not wait for the information that is usually provided through a travel service
bureau or other organization. They would rather look for yourself what's
on his mind so as to ensure that the products chosen are the best.
With the internet, the information needed
for a trip
is available mainly in the form of the World Wide Web or the Web. Consumers can now
directly related to the resources without going through intermediaries. It must be believed that the Web
is an ideal channel
and a powerful tool for promoting a tourist
destination, with a very low cost.
But in this competition
that must be considered, as it is
our main weapon,
is the quality of the information itself. Because tourists
will base their decision to visit a tourist
attraction only to the range of information available to them on the Web.
Once they got the
wrong information then the advantages of this technology will be of no use.
III. CONCLUSION
The Indonesian tourism players should take careful planning and focused to capture opportunities
that will be passing in our region. Exploiting opportunities
should be made through a "re-positioning" the existence of each activity since
the beginning of tourism investment,
promotion, creation of tourism products,
international marketing network setup, and
preparation of qualified human resources. All of this must be prepared to meet the
international standards so as to be more competitive and attractive, compared with
similar activities from countries around Indonesia.
Besides the tourism sub-sector
was expected to move
the people's economy, because
the sector is considered the most prepared in
terms of facilities, infrastructure and facilities
compared to other business sectors. This expectation
is developed in a
community empowerment strategy through the development
of a community-based tourism
or community-based
tourism
