History of Indonesian tourism

Indonesia's tourism history is longer than the age of the Republic. When Indonesia was proclaimed, August 17, 1945, several tourist destinations are relatively well known. This is thanks to the establishment of a sort of council travel, Vereeniging Toeristenverkeer (VT) in 1910 in Batavia (see Dieny Ferbianty, History of Tourism of Indonesia, Master Program, ITB, Bandung, 2007). And VT makes guidebook India-Netherlands first time, in English, the contents of the tourist areas in Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumatra, Toraja (South Sulawesi).

Dutch East Indies tourism increasingly popular among Europeans, meruang after a weekly newspaper published on tourism, Java Tourist Guide, 1923. In addition to articles about area attractions, this paper also informs train travel, hotels, and there is also a kind of practical learning the local language. Some hotels also publishes travel guides for one site, for example, Dieng Mountains travel guides, travel guides West Java, and others.



It can be said when it is a complete tourist infrastructure already: there is tourist board level "national" which has branches in a number of areas, there are media tours, hotels, tourist associations - for example Garut Tourist Association, the Association of Tourist Magelang (see Dieny Ferbianty: 2007). The travel agency offers tours are springing up since then. But all of that mess so the Japanese invaded Indonesia. Invaders from Asia's only one goal: to win the Pacific War. Anything other infrastructure used for wars, including art that used propaganda Greater East Asia, including. world tours with, among others, changing the hotel into hostel even army hospital. Moving from the era of the Republic of Indonesia berdiri.Meski when the new republic was in full respect of aggression Dutch struggle to colonize Indonesia again boarded by the Allies, the government does not forget tourism. Slowly restored everything from hospitality to transportation, from the organization to the school tours. A MICE event, especially conference, arguably directly or indirectly stimulate the development of tourism in Indonesia: Asian-African Conference in Bandung in 1955. At least the conference committee should take the delegates to several tourist sites around Bandung. Clearly, after this conference Tourisme Foundation of Indonesia, a nonprofit that aims to stimulate a world tour through the streets Indonesia: cooperation with the press, with tourist agencies other countries, with the immigration and customs, with the foreign ministry. Cooperation aims to facilitate all matters related to tourism, such as visas. Eight years later, in 1963, put in tourist affairs structural institutions, become part of the ministry of land, postal, telecommunications, and tourism. In Indonesia this is the first time to host the PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association). The next world tour structural administered by officials, with or not included the word "tourism" dalarm ministry. In 1988 tourism was in front of the ministry of tourism, postal, and telecommunications. And in 2000 tourism became united with the culture ministry of culture and tourism. It should be noted, though related to the geography of tourist destinations, perwisataan dalarn policy is unaffected by the distribution of a change of the province. In 1945 Indonesia was only divided into eight provinces' (Sumatra, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Lesser Sunda, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Maluku). Then divided the province from year to year. In 1950 there were 11 provinces; 1956, 15; 1957, 17: in 1958, 20; in 1959, 20; in 1960, 21; 1967, 25; 1969, 26: in 1976, 27; in 1999, remains 27 provinces (Independent East Timor, Maluku and Maluku and expanded into North Maluku province), at 2000.32, and in 2002, 33 provinces
