Indonesia's Bali island, which attracts a huge number of foreign holidaymakers every year, has now come up with the idea of setting up a hospital exclusive for tourists.
Bali governor Made Mangku Pastika said the hospital was needed to boost services to tourists, Xinhua reported.
The hospital would be built on a three-hectare plot of land in a 'strategic location', he told the Jakarta Post.
Over 244,400 foreigners visited Bali in October 2011, a 6.43 percent increase over the same period last year, the statistic bureau announced Dec 1.
Indonesia aims to attract 7.7 million foreign tourists to the country this year and eight million next year, said minister for tourism and creative economy Mari Elka Pangestu.
Over seven million foreign tourists visited last year, the tourism ministry said.
The government expects a $8.4 billion revenue from tourists' spending this year, up from $7.6 billion last year.
