On December 2nd 2010, Minister for Culture and Tourism, Ir. Jero Wacik, SE. handed the Indonesia Tourism Awards  (ITA) 2010 to government offices and private industries involved in tourism. The ceremony took place at the Grand Studio Metro TV and was broadcast on December 20th.

The Indonesia Tourist Awards 2010 are aimed to recognize local governments (provincial and cities) and the private sector who continuously maintain and improve services in the tourism sector. These achievements are reached through creative efforts to increase facilities and services for tourists, both domestic and international.

The awards were given through careful surveys of 25 cities based on the amount of regional budget allocated to tourism and also through program competition among regional governmental tourism offices that reflect their commitment towards tourism development.  A special Award was also given to cities/districts that have limited budgets but still show significant commitment towards tourism development. The Awards were selected in cooperation with Swa Magazine

Through the Visit Indonesia Year program that was launched on 2008, Indonesia's tourism has experienced a re-awakening. This is proven by the growing participations from the local and regional governments such as the launch of the Visit Musi Year, Visit Bangka Belitung Year, Visit Batam Year and many more. In years to come, these programs are expected to increase.

To boost the domestic tourism motivation to travel, the government has launched the "Kenali Negerimu, Cintai Negrimu" translated as "Know Your Country, Love Your Country" program that is aimed to increase travel by domestic tourists. This is done by several regional events such as the Sail Banda (Maluku), Yogya Java Carnival (Yogyakarta), Solo International Ethnic Music (Solo), and the ASEAN Jazz Festival (Batam) which is hoped to further improve the tourism sector as a whole at national level.
