Summary
Indonesia is among a number of countries having great potential in the tourism sector. Bali Island, for example, is well known as one of the world's major tourist destinations. Bali is not included at the top 50 tourist destinations in the world (Note 1), with tourist arrivals constantly increasing, it holds major potential for Indonesian tourism. In 2013, when Indonesian exports declined, tourism still increased its contribution from 10% to 17% of Indonesia's total (Note 3). With such good potential and trends, no wonder that the tourism sector is expected to play a major role in improving the welfare of all Indonesian people. A similar case is expected with Kreo Cave tourist destination for its surrounding people in Semarang City, Central Java
