The Southeast Asian country had targeted 3.6 million visitors last year.
December saw 895,120 foreign arrivals, a 36.19% increase
from the month before.
Several international events held in the country including
the G-20 summit and the MotoGP race gave a boost to foreign
arrivals, said statistic bureau chief, Margo Yuwono.
Indonesia started to ease its COVID-19 travel curbs in
late 2021, but despite the jump in foreign arrivals last year,
the numbers remained below pre-pandemic levels of 16.1 million
visitors in 2019.
