In June alone, Indonesia received 1.39 million international visitors, up 2.15% from a year earlier as tourism demand continued to recover, Jakarta Globe reported.

Foreign tourists spent more during visits to Indonesia in the second quarter despite shorter stays, with average expenditure rising 7.2% year on year to US$1,285 per trip, the country's Central Statistics Agency (BPS) said Monday.

Indonesia is targeting 16-17 million international tourist arrivals this year.

Other Southeast Asian neighbors, including Malaysia and Vietnam, also reported strong tourism growth in the first half of the year.
