JAKARTA - The chairman of the MPR RI, Bambang Soesatyo, announced strong support for the development of Cyber Park in Indonesia which will be funded by a number of investors from China, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States.

This opens up great opportunities for the tourism industry with an increasing number of consumers.
