To invite more touristsl, Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif/ Kemenparekraf (Minister of Tourism and Creative Economic) launched many strategies. One of them is to make Indonesia as a heaven for backpackers, with 90 days visa.
Backpacker related with tourist and low budget travelling. Obviously, this kind of tourist is the visiting Indonesia most. Therefore Kemenparekraf targetting to invite more backpacker to Indonesia. Surely from all around the world.
"There was a good ide, what if we targetting for backpacker? Because they staying for a longer period and visitting so many spots," said Minister of Kamenparekraf Mari Elka Pangestu today in Gedung Sapta Pesona, Jakarta.
She added, backpacker usually stay for a long time and spend more money. In addition they dont only staying in one place, but always moving from one place to the other, like tourist in general.
"We also made a proposal about how to a special 90 days visa could be given to the backpackers. Of course we will cooperate with immigration party." said her.
The airlines also encouraged to cooperate, to ease the backpackers by accomodate special package for backpacker. That also discoursed by Mari.
In different opportunity, the vice minister of Kamenparekraf, Sapta Nirwandar revealed that backpackers have a big potency. They, stay longer and spend the cash continously.
"In one day, they can spend a hundred dollars," said him.
We hope that 90 days visa could invite more foreign touris to Indonesia, especially the backpackers. In order to raising the local economy, also to promote Indonesia's beauty to the world.
