DUBAI (Reuters) - The number of Australian visitors to Indonesia rose in March and the island nation’s tourism industry has seen no impact from a Boycott Bali protest over death sentences passed on two Australian drug traffickers, a government official said.

Nia Niscaya, director of international tourism promotion at the Minister of Tourism, said however that figures for April, the month when the executions of a total of eight drug traffickers were actually carried out, were not yet available.
