Middle East conflict may disturb Indonesia's tourism: minister

Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno has said that the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East would pose negative impacts on foreign tourist visits in Indonesia as the unstable geopolitical situation would delay flights.


The Indonesian government has hoped to see at least 14.3 million foreign tourist arrivals by 2024. Data from Statistics Indonesia showed that as of August, the country has recorded 9.09 million foreign tourist visits.
