Poor hygiene weakens RI’ s tourism: Study
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Mon, 03/10/2008 1:21 AM | Business
The government will need to work extra hard to lure foreign visitors with this
year's ambitious Visit Indonesia Year campaign, in the light of health and
hygiene issues mentioned in a recent report.
The report, issued March 4 by Switzerland- based World Economic Forum (WEF),
cited Indonesia 's poor health and hygiene conditions and inadequate
infrastructure as key disadvantages in attracting foreign visitors.
WEF ranked Indonesia 80th among 130 countries in its Travel and Competitiveness
Index 2008, lower than neighbors Singapore , Malaysia and Thailand .
Last year, Indonesia ranked 60th among 124 countries studied.
Indonesia's health facilities and hygiene received poor scores because of the
country's low number of physicians (per capita), inadequate hospital beds, and
poor access to improved sanitation and drinking water.
As Southeast Asia's largest economy, Indonesia also received low scores for
quality of tourism infrastructure, comprising hotel rooms, presence of major
car rental firms and automatic teller machines accepting Visa cards.
These problems were the main reasons for Indonesia 's fall in ranking, WEF
says.
Indonesia's edge in the competitiveness index related to competitive prices for
goods and services, prioritization of travel and tourism spots, and the
availability of qualified labor, the report said.
The index was arranged based on data from the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the World Trade
Organization (WTO), the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and the WEF's own
survey on qualitative institutional and business environment issues.
The index ranked Switzerland , Austria , Germany , Australia and Spain as the
top five countries in the study (respectively) .
As organizers of the high profile annual international business forum in Davos
, Switzerland , the WEF is an independent international non-profit organization
based in Geneva , Switzerland .
The forum was first established in January 1971, when a group of European
business leaders met under the patronage of the European Commission and
European industrial associations.
State Ministry of Culture and Tourism marketing director general Sapta
Nirwandar told The Jakarta Post recently the government was in the process of
improving tourism infrastructure, and making easier entry procedures for
tourists.
"We are still in the process of fixing everything. We are now increasing
promotions and cultural events overseas, simplifying visa procedures and
improving the quality of service and human resource professionalism, " he said.
Last year, some 5.51 million foreign tourists visited the world's largest
archipelago, up from 4.87 million in 2006, according to data from to the
Central Statistics Agency.
Singapore accounted for the largest number of visitors, with 1.46 million,
followed by Malaysia (941,202), Japan (593,784), Australia (313,881), South
Korea (423,098), China (335,172), Europe (528,171), and the United States
(154,846), the agency reported.
"We have many interesting places and cultures, but many of them don't have good
infrastructure or facilities to accommodate visitors' needs," said Thamrin
Bhiwana Bachri, an executive at the State Ministry for Culture and Tourism.
"The facilities will include convenient hotels, clean public toilets,
well-managed airports, and easy access to tourist attractions, " he said.
For 2008, Indonesia has targeted to net seven million foreign visitors under
the Visit Indonesia Year campaign funded by the State Ministry of Culture and
Tourism.
Sapta said, however, the figure was still far less than Singapore or Malaysia,
which were targeting to this year lure some 10.2 million and 20.7 million
foreign visitors respectively. (rff)

Scrap the VISA Charge and I will go back to Indonesia , until then, I will
spend my money in other SEA countries where there is no visa charge for
Westerners!

To those wondering about the lack of tissue in Indo toilets... The same is
phenomenon is prevalent also in all sorts of eateries etc., in a word, in all
the public places... As for the reasons, we can only guess. Wanting to avoid
producing excess waste doesn't seem probable as the local population seemingly
couldn't care less about such issues as damaging the environment by littering.
How about thievery then? It's not unconceivable that if tissue was indeed made
available, all of it would be gone within 3 minutes, such is the nature of the
good folks of Nusantara (or actually, good folks of Jawa, as more distant
corners of the archipelago produce more decent types).

I found that Indonesia has a lot of attraction and places that it can exploit
as a magnet to attract various kind of tourists be it from the west, middle
east and Asean. Only a few countries in this world that can offer such
attraction. For the last 3 years I managed to visit West Kalimantan , Riau and
Java. The journey that I took from Bali to Jakarta by train and bus was the
most rewarding. To me the beauty of Indonesia lies on its people. Except few
people in the cities like in Surabaya and Jakarta , Indonesia ’s rural folks
are more friendly and helpful where ever I went.
As a tourist, I could tolerate missing few luxuries that I left back home.
Beside the bumpy road from East to Central Java , the beauty of its surrounding
made me forget the pain at my butt. I will still comeback to visit Indonesia
next time for my yearly holiday.

The sanitation in Indonesia is really poor. Wherever you go you will see a
bunch of rubbish. A rubbish that have been thrown from the citizens itself.
Discipline is a really must and good leadership of the Chief of sanitation..
Wake up wake up wake up!!!!!!!!
