Tourism  
Indonesia is a vast and beautifully diverse country stretching for more than 5,000 kms across the equator. It would simply be impossible to see everything that this, the world's largest archipelago, has to offer in a short length of time.

Variety is the spice life and nowhere is this more true than in Indonesia. No two places are alike in unspoiled beauty, art, culture and people. The towering mountains and primitive cultures of Irian Jaya contrast sharply with the terraced hills, and highly sophisticated societies of Bali and Java and the animistic beliefs which still have a major influence on the way of life in South Sulawesi.
