Indonesia at a glance
Counts trips, not people: someone who goes twice is counted twice. Each trip is attributed to the one country the traveller nominated as its main destination, so a stopover on the way somewhere else is not counted separately. Trips are recorded as travellers arrive home, which puts a Christmas holiday in the January figures.
