Penulis: Shandhi Widjaja

If you are Indonesian, you should know that our country is in the Top 10 list most visited country in 2015. Yeay....

Then why should Indonesia be in the top 10 again for 2016.. here is why:

1. Transportation Infrastructure

These 2 things are the most important for us Indonesian, and for your as a traveler. Indonesia is now in much better condition in trasportation. For air travel, we have less accident compared to 2-4 years ago. There are less budget airlines, which is good, safer, and the only problem are just delay. If you have no car, no worries Mr. Bule...rental cars are everyhwere on the Net. Even motorcylcles limo are available for order through android or ios as well.  In addition, other infrastructures like roads, mobile connections, internet are in a much much better shape than before. Wifi are eveywhere, if there is no mobile connection, wifi will be there to connect your social apps... So worry less, you are connected everywhere now.

2. WIFI is everywhere now

Thanks to wifi, Indonesian always share their everything on every social media they can install on their gadget. This is how we know where to go and what to eat, even what to do. Accrording to survey, they average Indonesians, carry 2.3 mobile devices, which means we Indonesian carry at least 2-3 gadget in our pocket. That seems too many, but yesss.. that's us. We use social media apps a lot. This is good traveler and you can definitely see what we post starting from what we eat for breakfast, and remote places you must visit.

3. You must love water

We have 17,000 islands, and we have plenty of water activities that you can enjoy. Diving is the most popular activity. Have your diving license to be safe. Start from our most outer west Island of Weh to the further East  Raja Ampat. It is amazing collection of rich coral, fish and other creatures.  Believe me this, as I am a diver. 

4. You must love nature. Bring your camera charger.
