JAKARTA - Visits of foreign tourists through the main entrance to Indonesia in February 2022 reached 18,500 visits. That means it has increased compared to January 2022 and in the same period last year.
"The development of foreign tourists in February 2022 increased by 21.91 percent compared to January 2022. Even compared to my period in 2021, the figure increased by 151.98 percent," said Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) Margo Yuwono, Friday, April 1. Between.
Cumulatively, the number of foreign tourist visits during January-February 2022 was 33,593 visits.
This figure increased by 259.59 percent when compared to the same period in 2021, at which time the number of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia reached 9,342 visits.
Even so, this increase is still far below the figure before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. In January-February 2020 alone, it reached 1.8 million visits.
"So, even though there is an increase in foreign tourists in 2022, it is still relatively limited. Tourism is still experiencing problems," said Margo.
Margo added that the number of foreign tourists visiting was recorded from the main entrance for Indonesian visits, while the data for foreign tourists who passed through the border gate could not be published because it had not been received by the central BPS.
