Nothing in the article that say the attack happened in tourist spot. Maybe you and some people outside Indonesia who think the attack happened on tourist spot still remember the "The 2002 Bali blast" that indeed targeting tourist spot.
In first decade of 2000's, yes, the attacks usually targeting foreign people, or foreign institution. But since few years ago the extremists turn their target into police since many of them were arrested by police.
