Tourism in Tana Toraja

Tourism in Tana Toraja started to expand in the 1970s, especially after the National Geographic to broadcast coverage of the funeral Puang Sangalla in 1972. Since that tour in Toraja continues to grow rapidly, reaching a peak in the 1980s - 1990s.

In the late 1990s, tourism in Tana Toraja started to fade along with the riots that occurred several regions in Indonesia, especially in Poso, in December 1998, April 2000, and May-June 2000.

Now tourism in Toraja started to rise again, though still distant when compared to the heyday in the 1980s.
