Indonesia Readiness for ASEAN Economic Community

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will be effective by the end of 2015 is a great opportunity for Indonesia as ASEAN member to boost foreign tourists visit.
Minister Mari Pangestu states that readiness for AEC requires improvement on accessibility, more direct flights to main tourism destinations, and better infrastructure. Direct flight helps boost tourists visit as seen this January after the opening of new direct flight from Perth to Lombok International Airport, which gives 300% tourist increase.
