JAKARTA, 03 June 2007 - The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has set a target of 116 million tourists visiting the different tourist objects accross Indonesia for this year. "This target is higher than that of last year which was set at 114 million," said Titien Soekarya, director for Domestic Tourism Promotion.

She told her office was optimistic that the target would be reached because last year's target of 114 million was reached as well.
