NIAS, Indonesia -- With around 17,000 islands, Indonesia offers a wide range of destinations -- yet only a handful have made a firm mark on the international tourist map. Bali, Lombok, Java and Sumatra draw the most visitors, while a few venture to Flores, home of the fearsome Komodo dragon. But few go beyond.
