Updating and Enumeration of the Nusantara Tourist Survey (Wisnus) 2019

Tourism activities in Indonesia are starting to become a trend and lifestyle in its own community. So that tourism activities are expected to become a mainstay sector that is able to drive other economic sectors that are closely related. The government in addition to aggressively attracting foreign tourists to increase foreign exchange, is also trying to increase the number of tourists visiting the archipelago (wisnus). The journey undertaken by archipelago tourists is able to revive the transportation sector, hospitality, creative industries and so on. Considering the importance of the availability of data and information regarding travel activities and all related aspects in detail, accuracy, and on time, a planned collection of these data is needed. One of the efforts made in gathering this information is through the 2019 Nusantara Tourist Survey to continue similar activities in 2017.

In October, BPS-Statistics of Kolaka TimurRegency updated the activities of updating and enumerating domestic tourists in the third quarter. A total of 7 people from partners acted as enumerators while 3 supervisors came from organic (BPS-Statistics of Kolaka Timur Regency employees). Activities for updating the third quarter of the holidays will be held on 1-10 October 2019, while the enumeration will take place on 15-25 October 2019. The number of samples sampled quarterly is 9 census blocks, which vary each quarter.
