Everybody knows that Bali is major tourism in Indonesia and most of international tourist prefer to go Bali than other place in Indonesia. But in 12th October 2002, the first bombing in Bali happened and it was effect Indonesia very badly. 202 people killed and many of them were foreign tourist. Before in 2001, 25 percents of Indonesia foreign exchanges earnings comes from Bali but after bombing the number of foreign tourist decline to 57 percents and in short time around 2.7 million tourism workers unemployed in Bali. Even one year after it was happen, tourism numbers in Bali still below of average and make Bali faced financial crisis.
Actually in early 2005 tourism in Bali start to beginning again but suddenly 2 October the second bomb happened. Even give more bad impact to tourism in Indonesia, foreign tourist and local tourist become scare to come to Bali. The number of tourism comes to Bali decline again.

What should Indonesia government do to anticipate or prevent this happen again? And what Indonesia government should do to increase number of tourism?
