1.the end of 2006, singapore goverment planed to exploit "six southern islands" to be tourism attraction.(pulau tekukor,kusu island,sisiter's island,pulau seringat,st.john's island,lazarus island)
As part of the Singapore Tourism Board's (STB) plan to develop the other Southern Islands after Sentosa, land reclamation was started in 2000 to link Pulau Seringat and Lazarus Island. The reclamation created a sand bank between the two islands, forming a lagoon that has an unobstructed seaview.
Pulau Seringat, which is now part of the extended Lazarus Island, now has a 800-metre stretch of beach. Thousands of cubic metres of sand, checked for sandfly eggs, was imported from Indonesia to make the beach. 1,000 mature coconut trees were also planted to add to the island feel of the place.
A causeway connecting Lazarus Island and Saint John's Island was also built to make the three islands more accessible and help attract more visitors.
Previously a shoal that was barely visible at high tide, Kias is now an island that houses an electricity generator with enough capacity to support the other three islands.
The reclamation took six years to complete and cost S$60 million. Another S$120 million was spent to bring water, electricity, gas and telecommunication infrastructure from Sentosa to the islands. The submarine services link consists of a 1.2-kilometre trench holding utility lines that lie 17 metres underwater. It links Sentosa Cove to Kias Island, and is protected underneath 50,000 tonnes of rock. It holds two 12-inch (30 cm) gas pipelines, two 12-inch (30 cm) water pipelines, four 22 kV power cables and four 96 core fibre optic cables for telecommunications.
The entire project cost nearly S$300 million and took about 15 years of planning.

Plans

In November 2006, the Singapore Tourism Board announced plans to develop the six islands off the southern tip of Sentosa into a tourist attraction. These islands include the Sisters' Island, Kusu Island, Lazarus Island and Saint John's Island, which draw at least 100,000 visitors a year. These are mainly pilgrims, campers, day-trippers and canoeists.
This, as STB's S$12 billion Sentosa master plan — which includes HarbourFront and the Southern Islands — is expected to be completed ahead of schedule in 2010. The STB intends to tap on the momentum of the Sentosa Integrated resort bid and extend investor interest to the islands nearby.
Over the years, there have been several suggestions on how to develop the islands, from turning them into a centre for water sports, to developing eco-tourism and promoting fishing. Even a retirement village was promoted. However, these plans did not materialise.
The STB reckoned that the time was ripe to attract investors to develop the islands, which lies about a 20-minute ferry ride from the Singapore Cruise Centre and 30 minutes from Marina South Pier.
Exploring the potential of developing land around the Marina Bay and Sentosa areas, the STB has concluded that enhancing the lush greenery and natural foliage of the Southern Islands will make them irresistible as a tourist destination. The Southern Islands currently has a Chinese temple, natural ecosystems and a resort-like atmosphere. Therefore, it is conceivable to turn some of them into a resort island, a cultural site or an interactive rainforest park.
There is also some potential for the Southern Islands to become a themed destination, mixing education and entertainment, that leverages on its natural resources. It has been said that the potential is similar to Italy's Isle of Capri, a marine village, or Dubai's The Palm islands, a development for the ultra-wealthy. However, it may be difficult to develop the islands as a mass tourist destination because they lack a land link to the main island. Instead, a plan is being considered to turn them into a getaway for the well-heeled who can afford the luxury and those who want to explore the rustic surroundings for the islands' flora and fauna, including 300 species of native wildlife.
With the completion of land reclamation works to link Pulau Seringat, Lazarus Island and Saint John's Island, the STB is setting its sights to develop the cluster by 2015, the year they plan to hit its target of 17 million annual visitors and S$30 billion in tourism receipts. The STB expects to announce details for the development of the Southern Islands and seek requests for concepts as early as March 2007.[2][3][4][5]
However, in April 2007, STB announced that the plans for the Southern Islands have been put on hold. Industry sources said that the Government is considering housing a casino on the six-island cluster. STB met potential investors in January 2006 to gauge their interests and listen to ideas, but the results were apparently not very encouraging. To date, no decision has been made yet on the development concept, including whether a request for concepts exercise will be launched. It is the second time in three years that the authorities are rethinking plans for the Southern Islands.[6]

1.simplify the procedures of visa.
1983年4月印度尼西亚政府作出关于东盟、欧洲共同体28个国家和地区的游客逗留2个月以内的，进入印度尼西亚可免签证的决定。到1993年底为止,印度尼西亚政府已先后宣布对45个国家的游客免办签证，这些免签证的游客占印度尼西亚接待外国游客总数的90%以。
2.成立专门机构，将旅游业列入国民经济发展总体规划,并对旅游业投入巨额资金。印度尼西亚从1969年开始重视发展旅游业，成立了旅游、邮政和电讯部,下设专门负责旅游业的旅游局；从第二个五年计划开始，印度尼西亚把促进旅游业的发展正式列入国家的经济发展计划，此后，印度尼西亚政府制订的几个五年经济与社会发展计划，都对旅游业的各项发展指标作了具体的规定。1990年10月，印度尼西亚颁布了《旅游法》。为了促进旅游业的发展，印度尼西亚政府每年都拨出大量资金发展旅游业。印尼政府对旅游部门的投资，1992年为13亿美元，1993年和1994年分别为5.52亿美元和4．05亿美元。印尼政府还鼓励私人投资旅游业，加速旅游设施的建设。
3．积极发展国际航空事业。从1984年开始，印度尼西亚国营鹰记航空公司开辟了国际航线，目前该公司已同世界上的28个城市有定期的航班往来业务。此外，印度尼西亚还允许28家外国航空公司开通至印度尼西亚的航线,为了更多地吸引外国游客，印度尼西亚1989年宣布开放雅加达的苏加诺—哈达国际机场、棉兰的婆罗尼西国际机场、巴利的乌拉莱国际机场和万鸦佬的萨姆拉杜朗宜国际机场。

4.兴建旅游宾馆，加强人员培训,提高服务质量。印度尼西亚政府最近几年对旅游业的投资主要用于兴建旅游宾馆。印度尼西亚目前共有623家国际标准的宾馆酒店,其中29家为五星级，51家为四星级，客房总数57389间。据预测，到2005年,印度尼西亚必须再兴建14万间客房才能满足不断增长的需要。印度尼西亚已在全国建立35所旅游学院、60所旅游中等专科学校以及30多个旅游和饭店员工培训中心，旨在为旅游部门输送合格的人才，提高服务质量。 5.与周边邻国开展旅游合作。印度尼西亚已同新加坡和马来西亚达成协议，共同投资5．7亿美元，将三国沿海地区开发成国际旅游度假胜，建成“东方加勒比旅游区”。印度尼西亚还与泰国和马来西亚的旅游机构协商，建立具有协调功能的常设旅游联盟机构，以加强三国旅游业之间的相互合作、联合促用和共同开发。印度尼西亚还与缅甸签订了旅游合作协定，准备帮助缅甸培训高层次旅游管理人才和服务人员，进而推动两国的旅游合作。
为提高中国到印尼的游客人数，印尼政府采取了多种尝试和努力。在签证方面，印尼政府首先在印尼驻广州总领事馆开设了签证服务。在航班方面，印尼政府还积极与新加坡谋求合作，希望能够开通从中国直飞到新加坡到印尼的航线。韩达礼告诉记者，之所以选择这样一条线路，是因为很多中国游客到新加坡旅游，那里有很多的购物中心，但是旅游景点就很少。而印尼刚好相反，拥有很多值得自豪的风景名胜，能够吸引游客转向印尼旅游。

此外，印尼政府还针对国外旅游市场，推出了新的旅游标语“Indonesia，UltimateinDiversity”（印度尼西亚，博大归一）。随着新旅游标语的推出，印尼在国外旅游市场的推广重点也放在日本、中国、韩国、澳洲、中东、欧洲以及东盟各国上。韩达礼还向记者透露，印尼政府将要在海外，例如广州，建立“印尼文化中心”和“印尼旅游推广中心”。
三、希望更多中国客到印尼旅游
此外，印度尼西亚驻广州总领事馆也致力旅游事业发展。韩达礼告诉记者，在今年3月的“广州国际旅游节”、“第二届中国（广州）国际高尔夫展”以及“深圳（国际）园林花卉博览会”上，都可以看到印尼领馆活跃的身影。最近，印尼领馆还将参加于2005年9月8~11日举行的“第九届中国国际投资贸易洽谈会”。 韩达礼表示，现在中国（广州）与印尼的交通非常的便利，每星期有4次广州-雅加达的航班，3次雅加达-广州的航班，他希望有更多中国游客可以到印尼领略印尼美丽的风光。 为了继续刺激旅游业的增长，2007年印尼文化旅游部将其国际旅游促销的支出从300万美元增加到1800万美元，促销重点市场是中国、印度和中东地区。 印尼政府还推出了一系列优惠政策和措施，去年印尼向包括中国、印度、比利时、澳大利亚等国在内的14个国家和地区给予落地签证的优惠待遇，在今年6—7月份黄金假期，雅加达还举办了“大减价活动”，幅度高至70%，以期激发雅加达的经济活力，吸引更多的游客。同时，印尼政府还加大地区治安维持力度，努力解决交通运输和阻塞问题，以创造更加安全休闲的旅游环境。 发展趋势
旅游业在印度尼西亚经济中的地位和作用日益重要，为此，印度尼西亚政府提出今后开拓旅游业的几项新举措：加强宣传活动，进一步提高民众的旅游意总值；增建旅游设施，提高服务质量；开发新的旅游景点；增设新的旅游项目，发展会议旅游和海洋旅游；加强旅游专业化，等等，以推动印度尼西亚旅游业再上新台阶。

在加强对外宣传方面，印度尼西亚政府准备在海外设立更多的办事机构。目前已在新加坡、东京、法兰克福、悉尼、洛杉矶等地设立了印度尼西亚旅游促销中心，今后拟在荷兰、法国、加拿大也设立类似机构。印度尼西亚还准备利用各种机会，推出各种形式的旅游观光活动，政府继1991年举办“印度尼西亚观光年”之后，印度尼西亚政府先后在雅加达举办了“印度尼西亚旅游展览会”“贸易与旅游展览会”和“亚太旅游协会论坛”，在万隆举办了“亚洲旅游业讨论会”，在巴利举办了“亚太旅游协会年会”以及“世界旅行社代表大会”等。印度尼西亚还承办了世界旅游组织第10届大会和不结盟国家首脑会议。这些会议不仅为印度尼西亚带来大量的外汇收入，而且大大提高了印度尼西亚的国际知名度。印尼每年都会举办一次印尼旅游博览会，同时，印度尼西亚还计划派出更多的艺术代表团出国访问演出，在国外举办文化艺术展，宣传印度尼西亚旅游业的魅力。
为了继续刺激旅游业的增长，2007年印尼文化旅游部将其国际旅游促销的支出从300万美元增加到1800万美元，促销重点市场是中国、印度和中东地区。
印尼政府还推出了一系列优惠政策和措施，去年印尼向包括中国、印度、比利时、澳大利亚等国在内的14个国家和地区给予落地签证的优惠待遇，在今年6—7月份黄金假期，雅加达还举办了“大减价活动”，幅度高至70%，以期激发雅加达的经济活力，吸引更多的游客。同时，印尼政府还加大地区治安维持力度，努力解决交通运输和阻塞问题，以创造更加安全休闲的旅游环
印度尼西亚政府已意识到发展“会议旅游”的重要性，并将此作为推动今后旅游业发展的重点。为此,政府为到印度尼西亚举行的国际性地区会议提供现代化的会议场所、配套的先进通讯设备、训练有素的服务人员、便捷的交通等，并为与会者安排丰富多彩的会间节目及会后娱乐。
据印尼文化旅游部的预测，2007年印尼的旅游业将恢复增长，预计接待600万外国游客的目标能够实现。到2010年，印尼希望能够接待1000万外国游客。
