A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go? What should he do? Explain why.


If a foreign visitor only has one day in Indonesia, i'd like to invite him to/her to Raja Ampat. It's a unique place.detikcom named it as the best marine tourism on earth. Everyone who has been there said it's luxury and very special. Raja Ampat or Four Kings is the name of given to these islands and comes from a local myth. The four major islands found are Walgeu, Misool, Salawati, and Batanta.


Underwater enthusiasts flock to this region because it offers the world's best marine sights. It has a starting diversity of habitats to explore. Each of these -from the start wave-pounded slopes that drop way beneath the karst cliffs of Wayang & Uranie to the deep. Nutrient rich bays up Maya ibit, Kabui, and Aljui to the "blue' water mangrove "channels of Kufiau and gam to the plankton-rich upwelling areas of Misool and the dampier Starst - are home to unique assemblages of species that, when taken together, add to produce the most impressive species list ever completed a coral reef system of this size.

The foreign sisitor could do many marine activities there. Overfishing, mining and logging has the potential a key role in the convervation of Raja Ampat's spectacular underwater rwalm, while also creating real benefits for the local communities. There are some areas where soft corals and sea fans dominate others with amazing diverse hard corals, seagrass beds, mangroves, shallow reefs drop off etc. Then there are fish, lost of them in more shapes and sizes than anwhere else in the world. Not only are there loads of fish, but all the levels of the food chain are well represented. The reef in Raja Ampat just buzz with life !!
