This was affirmed by Indonesian Ambassador to Russia, Wahid Supriyadi in his press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office in Jakarta, Friday (23/2).

“…So, we have full support from the Ministry of Tourism. Thus, the Business Forum with theme ‘infrastructure development in the field of tourism’. So, we invite the Minister of Tourism later as one of the speakers and chairman of BKPM. And now some regions that could win are actually related to the field of tourism and this is a wonderful opportunity. The national percentage is about 22 or 24. If Russia is above that, so far it is more concentration on Bali,” Ambassador Wahid Supriyadi said.

Ambassador Wahid Supriyadi further said that the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow will keep introducing other tourist destinations in Indonesia so that Russian tourists visiting Indonesia will no longer be concentrated in Bali. (VOI/Rezha/Trans by Rhm)
