Although it seems surprising, Indonesia is one of the largest economies in the world as it has one of the greatest populations on the globe. With such great economy which is continuously expanding, Indonesia attracts impressive numbers of investors and visitors on a yearly basis, which makes tourism one of the most important sources of income. These earnings are reinvested in infrastructure projects in order to create an even more favorable environment for businesses.

Legislation related to travel agencies in Indonesia

The Indonesian legislation governing tourism is not that extensive, however it is very well-defined. Those who want to start a business in the tourism industry, including travel agencies in Indonesia must comply with:
