JAKARTA, July 9 (Jakarta Post/ANN): Indonesia is tapping into a growing number of “digital nomads” by launching a special digital nomad visa, but more needs to be done to attract and retain foreign visitors to the country, say tourism specialists.

Budijanto Ardiansjah, vice chairman of the Association of Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA), suggested the government improve infrastructure, including telecommunications, digital and social infrastructure.
