| dc.description.abstract | Indonesia is a multicultural country that has various ethnicities, races, beliefs, religions,
arts and regional
cultures. The richness and diversity of Indonesia are one of the main
and leading factors in national development in Indonesia. National
development is
carried out by optimizing the potential of culture through the tourism industry,
especially cultural tourism. Cultural potential contributes the most to Indonesia because
it can generate foreign exchange for the country so that the country’s economy
can
increase and can create jobs. To realize this, the cooperation between government,
stakeholders in the tourism sector, tourism industry actors and society are important to
promote tourism, especially the cultural tourism. Similarly, inter-ministerial
collaboration needs to be carried out so that the development of Indonesia cultural
tourism
can be realized and sustainable. Cultural tourism can also be used as a means
of diplomacy
by Indonesia to promote Indonesia tourism by cooperating with other
countries as well as non-government elements both at regional and international level.
Therefore, Indonesia’s effort in improving the quality of cultural tourism is through
cultural diplomacy. | en_US |
