Abstract
The decline of oil prices starting in 1986 greatly influenced the Government of Indonesia to change rapidly its policy of relying on oil to non-oil exports as a source of foreign exchange earnings. Foreign exchange is needed in the Indonesian economy to finance imported capital goods and other products necessary for increasing the economic development of the country. The change in policy resulted in a sharp increase of foreign exchange earnings from non-oil exports. In 1987, for the first time, earnings from non-oil exports were greater than from oil. In 1989, even with relatively better oil prices, non-oil exports contributed more than 60 per cent in total export earnings.
One important source of foreign exchange from non-oil exports is tourism. Even though its role in generating foreign exchange in the country is still relatively very small, its share is rapidly increasing. Moreover, the indirect effect of tourism, which is not easily quantifiable, is believed to be even larger.
Tourism also has another important role in the economy. It helps develop other sectors of the economy related to tourism, such as transportation, telecomunications, hotels and restaurants, manufacturing indus-tries, trade and services. To a great extent, employment is also generated by the tourism industry, both directly and indirectly. Not less important is its contribution to government earnings through taxes and surpluses of government enterprises catering for tourism.
