Popis: This article focuses on the process of expansion of tourism in Indonesia. In this vast archipelago of immense environmental and cultural diversity, “culture” has been its main tourist promotion theme. Even though Indonesia is a “world of infinite diversity”, its tourist spots are highly concentrated in a few regions. Undoubtedly Bali remains THE place to visit given its fame and early infrastructural developments. However, due to the phenomenal growth in the numbers of international tourists between 1969 and 1997, the State's desire to diffuse tourism to other regions of the Archipelago, and the quest for “culture” by some tourists - tourism in Indonesia has expanded, especially to regions of “primitive” ethnic minorities. This expansion, even if marginal related to the mains streams, has been seriously threatened since 1998 by the crisis in tourism in Indonesia - of which the bombing in Bali in October 2002 was the pinnacle.
