TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Marine tourism is expected to generate up to US$4 billion by 2019, four times higher than its current contribution to overall revenue of tourism.

“We hope that foreign exchange earnings from marine tourism could increase from 1 million US dollars by 2019,” Minister of Tourism Arief Yahya said Tuesday in the signing of cooperation on tourism development with the Ministry of Marine and Fishery in Jakarta.

At present, marine tourism merely contributes 10 percent to overall foreign exchange earnings from tourism of US$10 billion per year.

For comparison, Malaysia’s marine tourism contributes 40 percent to the country’s overall foreign exchange earnings from tourism.

The estimate of Malaysia’s foreign exchange earnings from tourism is roughly US$25 billion per year.

Yahya said that the sub-sector is facing regulatory, human resources and service management problems.

Boasting 13,466 islands and 5.8 million square kilometers of water, Indonesia remains unable to untap its marine tourism’s full potential.
