Year 2008 as we know is a tourism year for Indonesia. As an Indonesian, I highly anticipate this event as it will be an important phase for Indonesia to revive the tourism. I hope also all the people in Indonesia will anticipate for this event and be a nice host for tourists. Don’t hesitate, go to your nearest travel agent and purchase a ticket to Indonesia, as your next holiday destination :smile:

Anyway, talking about tourism, you should visit the official Indonesian tourism website. Here is the address. http://www.my-indonesia.info/. Here is the screenshot of it if your too lazy.

Okay, this website seems to be another regular website but recently this website has been discussed a lot by Indonesian bloggers. Why? because its the official Indonesian tourism website and the cost to make this website is very expensive! From the local news, it was said it cost about 1.8 million US$. Take a look again at the website. Do you think it looks like an expensive website?

A lot of people think this is a work of corruption because how could it be the website becomes so expensive while the quality is so poor (by looking at its design).

Andri Setiawan wrote in his blog (in Indonesian language) about the technical aspects of this website and comes to a conclusion that this website is far too expensive. Another thing is why did they choose such a poor name for the official website, also why did they choose .info domain?

Luckily, our country nowadays is more transparent, what I mean is, the people seems to have more freedom in saying what they should. Not like in the past where our government is repressive. Lucky too we have the young generation who are critical towards our governments behavior.

Well my friend, this is Indonesia, anyway - again, please don’t hesitate in visiting our country.
