With easy visa policy, Indonesia is a top draw for Chinese visitors

Indonesia has emerged as a top vacation destination for Chinese this summer, along with Thailand's Phuket island and the Maldives archipelago.

Encouraged by growth in Chinese travelers to Indonesia, the government in Jakarta has recently relaxed its visa policy.

Since June 10, Chinese tourists can enter Indonesia through nine appointed locations, including the Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali and the Kuala Namu International Airport in Medan, by just getting their passports stamped on arrival. Officially, it is called the "free-visa" scheme.
