Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Tourism and Creative Economic Minister Marie Elka Pangestu said Europe remains a potential market for Indonesian tourism.
"Although an economic crisis is taking place there, Europe is still a potential market for Indonesia's tourism. Tourism is a sector which remains strong during a crisis," the minister said here on Wednesday.
She noted that economic turmoil was taking place in a number of European countries, yet the tourism sector there, adversely, was growing.
Spain and Greece, for example, experienced an 8 to 9 percent growth in their tourism sector, the minister said.
"Even inbound tourism in the United States grew by 5 percent," she added.(IGT)
