Indonesia is a country with a constitution as the basis of its constitution in 1945. By the 1945's the power of the executive and legislative and judicial separation occurs. Changes in political strukutural occurred after the fall of President Suharto, Indonesia's second president after leading the Indonesian State for 32 years, ie in 1998, and under the leadership be short of his successor President Habibi in the interval 1998 and 1999.
         
The administration of President Habibi political reforms by applying the new rules on elections, which will be the people's representatives in Parliament and the Assembly. Party politics and practices without changing the 1945 Constitution. After this reform the leadership of the president is limited to two times. During each five-year leadership.

Megawati bring the politics of climate in Indonesia in a stable condition. But in the era of Megawati has not happened a concentrated effort to fight corruption and promote national economic growth.

Tourism Business Conditions
       
In accordance with the data obtained from the WTCC, in 2011 the contribution of tourism and hospitality businesses in the World GDP reached 2 trillion dollars (or 2.8% of total world GDP). When compared with some of the largest manufacturing industry, then this two times bigger than the GDP of the auto industry and 1.3 times greater than the chemical industry.
          
The major players have turned the hotel business growth not only in Europe and the United States, but the State penetrated Developing Asia (Wu, Costa, Teare (1998) in Ayoun 2006). The hotel now see that the market now is the world, not narrow goegrafis each particular region. The development of transportation has allowed this. Hotel accommodation as the proposition is derived from the travel and tourism activities.
      
In the focus of this paper will discuss the political relationship and the tourism and hospitality industry. There are several tourist behavior to be observed in the business. The first is that they want to enjoy nature, beauty, panoramic beaches, mountains, and lakes. The second addition to this they will also use the time to enjoy the creations of culture (culture) and historical heritage in a particular region and a particular country.
        
Tourist behavior should be a concern for tourism development strategy stems from it. With the implementation of Law No. 22 Year 1999 on Regional Government, the authority to develop to be located in the tourist area and not concentrated in Jakarta alone. There autonomy to develop tourism in their respective areas. Regions can promote their own territory to become a tourist destination in accordance with their respective areas of excellence. Circumstances will affect the hospitality business tourism in Indonesia.
       
Political conditions are calm and stable is a prerequisite of business and business development. Under conditions that are not safe and convenient for investors investment certainly will not come. This is in line with the conditions of international tourists. Security of a region or state funds will support the political instability and the presence of tourist arrivals.Here is a comparison of the data for several tourists visit since the New Order government to reform the order.

Foreign Tourist Arrivals from 1990 till 1999 (the New Order)Information obtained from table 1, that when the new order of leadership with the political situation is relatively stable until 1998, then the number of tourist arrivals are also stable with no decrease. But when the political conditions that chaos during the 1998 riots, many tourists canceled his visit to Indonesia, so a decline in the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia, causing contraction of the growing number of tourists coming to Indonesia. 
Table 2. Foreign Tourist Arrivals from 2002 till 2010
     
Of Table 2 for comparison after the new order with multiple shocks terrorism Imam Samudra and his friends happened during Megawati government, it can be concluded security conditions greatly affect the number of tourist arrivals, which in 2002 and 2004 Bali bombings that back cause a decrease in the number of foreign tourists in the years after the occurrence of such events.
