Jakarta attempts to reverse all-time low foreign tourist numbers


JAKARTA: The Jakarta administration seeks to rebuild the capital city’s reputation for safety to revitalise its tourism amid a downturn of foreign tourists visiting in the past few months. According to the Jakarta office of Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the number of foreign tourists visiting Jakarta in 2019 has been on a decline since August.

In 2019, the city welcomed the highest number of foreign visitors in July with a total of 268,258 and that number declined to 184,521 in November.
