Biak Island to face the ocean so that the process of launching a rocket that will be done is not expected to interfere with other countries. If the booster rocket launched the satellite, debris or objects that fall from the launching process would fall into the sea, not about other countries, including Indonesia. In addition, Biak Island, also located in the equatorial area (position was only two degrees of the equator) so that the motivation is more powerful rocket launcher and satellite capable of monitoring devices in space to take into space.

Nuclear Reactor Plant
Indonesia plans to build a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in the Muria, Central Java. Muria Mountains deemed most qualified as a place to stand and operation of NPP. Besides being safe from the earthquake, the Muria area is also very close to the water source (Java Sea) needed to cool the nuclear reactor.
Muria nuclear power plant would begin in 2012 and is ready inaugurated in 2016 with a total budget of Rp 30 trillion. Muria nuclear power plant is expected in 2015-2016 has been able to operate with a capacity of 1000 Mwat Elektic with an investment of U.S. $ 1500-1800 per KWh. Nuclear power plants require uranium and Indonesia has two uranium mines are mine and mine Black Teen-Earths-Tanah Merah. The two uranium mines are located in West Kalimantan.
If the Muria nuclear power plants already built will be able to overcome the electricity crisis currently being experienced by our country. Muria nuclear power plant which is planned to have six nuclear reactors with their respective total power of 600 MW or 3600 MW, will be less able to reduce electric energy crisis mainly Networks Java-Madura-Bali (Jamali). If Indonesia has a nuclear power plant, then Indonesia will also be listed as the world's nuclear elite handful of countries but nuclear Indonesia will be used only for peaceful purposes.
Canal Sulawesi
At the Fourth Congress of Sulawesi Sulawesi Six governors initiated the construction of a "Canal Equator" which cut the neck of the island of Sulawesi. Later on Sulawesi Island would be divided into two, because it is separated by the sea in the canal which will be named Canal Equator. If the plan is actually implemented, then this channel will be the third canal in the world, because now there are two new canal, the Suez Canal in Egypt and the Panama Canal in Central America.
Equatorial Canal could become a busy international sea route and will shorten the transportation distance of the sea from the eastern island of Sulawesi towards western Indonesia, as well as to the Philippines and Malaysia.
Those are some mega projects in Indonesia in addition to other projects that will make Indonesia as the country forward in the future. Proficiency level in these mega projects will become a big pride for the Indonesian nation.

Indonesia Targets 7 Million Tourist Arrivals in 2010, up 8%-10% compared to 2009
Quoted from Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Republic of Indonesia
http://www.budpar.go.id/page.php?ic=611&id=5254
In 2010 Indonesia targets a total of 7 million international visitors spending on average US$ 1,000 per stay, thus contributing some US$ 7 billion to Indonesias economy, said Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Hatta Rajasa. This is an increase of between 8%-10% growth compared to 2009 which is above the expected 2010 economic growth of 5.5%-6%.
While earnings from domestic tourism is expected to surpass Rp. 120 trillion, which means that tourism will be an important sector in boosting the economy, said Minister Hatta Rajasa.
In the new government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Tourism has finally come under the coordination of the Minister for the Economy, away from the Coordinating Minister for Public Welfare under which it has resided for many years. The Cultural sector in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, however, remains under the auspices of the Coordinating Minister for Public Welfare.
In 2009 Indonesia received 6.459 million visitors said Culture and Tourism Minister, Jero Wacik, or a growth of 0.4% compared to 2008. Although numbers - wise growth seems minimal, yet even this small growth actually meant that Indonesia has withstood the downturn in traveler arrivals during the global economic recession of 2009. Yet, spending wise, it is evident that tourists are indeed spending less, said Minister Wacik.
If in 2008 on average a visitor spent US$ 1,178 per stay, in 2009 average spending has gone down to US$966/visitor/stay. In 2010, however, it is expected that as the global economy picks up, tourists will again spend some US$1,000 per stay per visit in Indonesia.
For 2010 Indonesia will continue to carry the Visit Indonesia logo, while this year until 2014 the focus will be on promoting visits to the many Museums in Indonesia. So 2010 will carry the additional tag-line: Visit Museums 2010.
Meanwhile, Balidiscovery.com reported that according to the Head of Bali Tourism Authority, Bagus Kade Subhiksu, in 2009 Bali received a total 2,259,000 foreign visitors who, together are estimated to have contributed US$2.7 billion in foreign exchange to Bali's economy, or a figure equal to 42% of the total contribution made by the tourism sector to the national economy. On average tourists spent US$ 137.90 per day per person over the average 8.75 days length of stay in Bali. In 2010, Bali targets total international tourist arrivals to reach 2.3 million.
As reported in Bisnis Indonesia, compared to the previous year, foreign exchange revenues generated by Bali's tourism sector declined 4%, despite the record number of visitors. In 2008, an estimated US$2.8 billion in foreign exchange was produced by Bali's foreign visitors. This decrease is linked by officials to a shortening in the average length-of-stay and lower spending levels.
Bali's 4% decline in foreign exchange earnings compares favourably to nation-wide decrease of 11% decrease in foreign exchange earnings from tourism.

Int'l airport in Lombok to begin operation soon
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta
Tue, 03/16/2010 3:10 PM, National
An international airport, currently under construction in Central Lombok regency, West Nusa Tenggara, is scheduled to be in operation in the coming months, an official said Tuesday.
Local provincial administration spokesman Ahmad Baharuddin, said that a soft opening for the airport was originally scheduled for this month, but was delayed due to the lack of supporting facilities, especially road access from the capital to the airport.
“State owned PT Angkasa Pura I, which is in charge of managing the airport facility, was not ready for the soft opening,” Baharuddin said in Mataram, as quoted by Antara state news agency.
The soft opening will possibly be delayed until June or July, he said, adding the delay was mainly caused by the fact the local administration still required funds to finance land clearance to enable the construction of a bypass leading to the airport.
The Rp 110 billion (US$11.80 million) airport project is designed to have a 1,750-meter runway and various facilities, including two aprons of 62,072 square meters, Baharuddin said.

Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said at the press conference the Java Jazz Festival had become an Indonesian branding exercise.
“Jazzin’ up remarkable Indonesia is true because Indonesia is remarkable,” she said, referring to the festival’s slogan for this year.
The Trade Ministry has been one of the event’s key partners over the last three years because it supports the creative industry, Mari said.
Program coordinator Eki Puradiredja said visitors would be able to enjoy special programs.
Among others Idang Rasjidi will celebrate his 40 years in music at the festival.
Eki added new talents would include German-based Indonesian singer Sandhy Sondoro and Dira J. Sugandi.
Jazz purists will have a smorgasbord of performances to choose from, including by big names such as Hubert Laws, George Duke, Ivan Lins, Emilio Santiag and Jeff Lorber; Jimmy Haslip, Soulbop Special Edition, Bob James, Lee Ritenour, Novello B3 and Jeff Kashiwa with his Sax-Pack and David Murray.
