Indonesia's hospitality industry is enjoying strong growth. Both domestic and foreign operators are opening new hotels and Indonesia's National Statistics Board reported that foreign tourist arrivals to Indonesia between January and November 2014 reached 8.52 million, an increase of 7.29 percent from the same period in 2013. There were 251 million trips by domestic tourists during that same period.
