Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry has proposed to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) that Denpasar be named a creative city.

"Hopefully the proposal will be accepted. Denpasar has so far been included in the Indonesian Heritage City Networking (JKPI)," Denpasar Mayor Ida Bagus Dharmawijaya Mantra said on Monday.

Creative economic businesses, such as the batik 'endek' industry have flourished in Denpasar, he added.

Balinese students in the area have also designed a computer program in Balinese characters. The special computer using these characters will be launched in the near future. (*/M038)
