ndonesia should be able to increase the number of tourists visiting its shores by 4 million, 10 percent of the tourists traveling within ASEAN every year, following the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) at the end of the year, an official says.
The secretary to the director general of ASEAN cooperation, I Gede Ngurah Swajaya, said on Thursday that 40 million people from ASEAN countries traveled within the region.
