Approaching the end of the Muslim festive season, travel search site, Wego has recently revelaed insight into Indonesian travel ends for this year’s Idul Fitri. Wego Indonesia managing director Graham Hills said that Indoensian searched for domestic trip is grwater in number this year.
Domestic travel trends more than tripled this year. Yogyakarta tookover from last year’s top destination of Bandung fro hotel searches, and the city features as one of the most notable movers this year, increasing 78% over 2014,” Hills explained
He also said that even though Bali featured as the number one domestic for the past two years, this year the island only occupied the fourth position with flight searches to Yogyakarta escalating by 342 percent.
Regarding accomodation options, Indonesians tended to seek higher ranked properties, while taking advantage of cheaper airfares. In 2014, more than half of Wego’s Indonesian users sought three-star accomodation listings, but surprisingly this year we’veseen a shift toward higher rated hotels.

Dear Mother
I’m writing to you to celebrate this special day. Deep in my heart, I would like to hug you and kiss your loving hands, which raised me during the adversity of the monetery crisi in our country.

Yet upon seeing me, you wiped your eyes. Smiling , you said, “Hi sweetheart. How was your day?” I remembered kneeling down, holding your legs, and whispering those magic words as I would like say today, “ Mom, happy birthday. May God grant you a long life and great health.”

The Green Park is a very large area of natural forest and a lot of animals live there, Horses and donkeys walk everywhere and sometimes you can see deers, cows and ducks crossing the road.
What I like about the Green Park is that the colours of the forest change during the year. In autumn, the leaves are red and gold and in the spring everything purple and different shades of green. The trees are always colourful and different.
