Once a densely forested backwater, for the past three decades Batam has undergone rapid development. Lured by the island's close proximity to Singapore and special trade agreements, many international companies have established operations here. Today, Batam is a hub of industrial activity, and an important trade link between Indonesia and the world. As a tourist destination, Batam has a number of natural and historic tourist attractions too, as well as important religious sites.
