the struggle to get back on their feet seems to be dealt one blow after another. Of course the weaker rupiah works in favour of those visting who can already afford holidays and somewhat non-vital and pleasure spending. For those trying to put food on the table it's another matter and many are still trying to make up for what they lost when the rupiah crashed some years ago. This will not work in the favour of those who can least afford it. As a frequent traveller also, I'm extremely reluctant to look at it from my vantage point as just about everything is already quite easily affordable.
