Recently, Indonesia is entering power crisis period. Some areas in Java and Bali will take turns to be extinct the power facility. This situation, direct or indirect, will affect the tourism prospect since many destinations need electricity for running their business.
Tourism and Culture Department hopes this crisis will not disturb the tourism activities, moreover to decrease Indonesian tourism like Bali tragedy couple years ago.
We deserve to worry about this crisis since the progress of incoming tourists is quite good (and makes tourism businessmen are happy), because according the data from Tourism and Culture Department, abroad tourists who came during January - May 2008 is about 2.37 millions. It means the number is increasing 12.95% (or you can say 13% to make easier) from the same period on last year.
Until the end of year, Bali is predicted will be full booked if the increasing number (13%) is coherent.
