Chart of the Day: Where have all the Indonesian tourists gone?

Weak visitor arrivals to spill into 1Q15.

A significant drop in Indonesia visitors (-8.2%) in October 2014 resulted from the continual volatility in the rupiah and a higher year-ago base.

According to a report by CIMB, the weakness was mitigated by the stronger Chinese visitor arrivals (+13.3%) as a result of the lower base in 2013 as the change in tourism law in China took effect in October 2013.

CIMB says that given the continual rupiah volatility, the slight impact expected from the recent QZ8501 incident and the lack of Singapore Airshow in 2015, visitor arrivals in 1Q15 could remain soft on a yoy basis.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
