Nature tourism
Sianok canyon in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra
Indonesia has a well-preserved, natural ecosystem with
rainforests that stretch over about 57% of Indonesia's land (225 million
acres), approximately 2% of which are mangrove systems. One reason why the
natural ecosystem in Indonesia is still well-preserved is because only 6,000
islands out of 17,000 are permanently inhabited. Forests on Sumatra and Java
are examples of popular tourist destinations. Moreover, Indonesia has one of
longest coastlines in the world, measuring 54,716 kilometres (33,999 mi), with
a number of beaches and island resorts, such as those in southern Bali, Lombok,
Bintan and Nias Island. However, most of the well-preserved beaches are those
in more isolated and less developed areas, such as Karimunjawa, the Togian
Islands, and the Banda Islands.
