Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) - Indonesia will host the Interhash 2016 scheduled to be held in Bali, Assistant Deputy for Development of Natural and Artificial Tourist Sites of the Ministry of Tourism Aswir Malaon stated here on Thursday (September 10).

"Hash is a non-competitive sport that combines the elements of fraternity, entertainment, and fitness," he noted.

He explained that Interhash is a biennial event that has been held since 1978. The venue shifts from one country to another, and the participants are from hash clubs across the world.

Earlier, Bali had hosted the Interhash event in 1988.

Bali had bidded to host the Interhash event in 2004, 2006, and 2008, but it had not been successful due to certain reasons.

"The management and members of the Hash throughout Indonesia have volunteered to host Interhash 2016 under the name of `Bali Interhash 2016`," he stated.

It is estimated that about six thousand people from across the world will participate in the Bali Interhash 2016 event.
