Most of the study of the number of foreign tourists in Indonesia base on their origin country, have only focused on panel data
analysis. It could be misleading because there may be a spatial influence among the original country. This study analyzed some factors
that could affect the number of tourists who came to Indonesia for 2011-2015. The Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) was used in this study.
Two types of proximity matrices were used i.e. contiguity matrix and inverse distance matrix. The results showed that the best model was
the SDM model with contiguity matrix. The factors which significantly affected the number of tourists were GDP per capita, number of
population, and existing the direct flight to Indonesia.

Data modeling of foreign tourists in Indonesia by country
2011-2015 with SDM fixed effect using a region based
spatial weighting matrix was the best model. The factors
that influenced the SDM model directly and indirectly were GDP per capita, population, BVKS factor and direct
flight factor.
