JAKARTA. Indonesia is intensifying its tourism promotional activities in the Middle East and China in an effort to attract 12 million foreign tourists this year and 20 million by 2019. In a bid to lure international tourists from these two regions, the Indonesian government is developing special tourism destinations. As tourists coming from the Middle East are mostly Muslims, 10 provinces are now being developed as Halal tourism destinations. Besides this, the Indonesian government is also preparing 10 tourism destinations known as the "10 New Balis." These ten new destinations are expected to become as popular as Bali, the famous Indonesian tourist resort island of Bali Province.
