Almost 50 times as many foreign tourists visited Indonesia in April compared to the same month last year, according to Statistics Indonesia (BPS) data, showing that the country¡¯s tourism has begun to bounce back. But observers stress the need to remain vigilant about the recovery process. Hendrie Adjie Kusworo, who heads Gadjah Mada University¡¯s (UGM) doctoral program in tourism studies, warned stakeholders and domestic tourists to remain vigilant and to support the national tourism recovery. ¡°The recovery of tourism depends on the governments¡¯ response to COVID-19 across the globe, and most importantly, on our continued efforts to keep the spread of the virus under control,¡± he told The Jakarta Post on Friday, adding that Indonesia¡¯s response to the pandemic was relatively effective at the moment.
