Example of a Framework for Evaluating Bilateral Tourism

Flow From Country A to Country B	Positive Effects	Negative Effects	Corrective Actions
Government Responsibilities
State of Diplomatic Relations	Nil	Often poor	Diplomatic initiatives needed to increase destination attractiveness
Currency	Reduced value of Rupiah stimulated tourism	Nil	Not required to attract tourists but needed to stimulate the domestic economy
Promotion	Nil	Promotion ceased	Need for government funding to reverse falling visitor numbers
Government Regulations including crime and national park protection	Nil	Non enforcement created poor national image	Action required to reduce corruption and increase internal security
Security	Nil	Uncertainty about tourist security during the 1997 Jakarta riots and 2002 Bali bombings	Enhance security required in tourism areas to ensure the safety of tourist
Economic Policy	Nil	Poor, created impression of poorly run country	Need to introduce new economic policies (Indonesia appealed to IMF for assistance)
