Abstract

Foreign tourists play a vital role in driving a country’s economic development by contributing significantly to foreign exchange earnings, job creation, and regional economic growth. Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, offers numerous tourist attractions and destinations. The objective of this study is to compare and contrast the characteristics of foreign tourist inflow to Indonesia based on their countries of origin. The official data on tourist inflow from 53 countries and regions are analyzed using the CRISP-DM methodology and KNIME as a computational tool. Two clusters, named distant and nearby clusters, are identified based on tourist occupation, visit purpose, tourism activity, and expenditure per visit. Tourists from the distant cluster are more likely to have a professional occupation and are more recreational in their visit purposes. Tourists from nearby countries are more likely to have a business purpose. The result supports the gravity model of tourism. This study contributes to the literature on analyzing foreign tourist inflow and applying data analytics to official tourism data.
