Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesia is promoting its tourism sector through local films to Indian investors, Vice Minister for Tourism and Creative Economy Sapta Nirwandar said here on Friday.
"One of Tourism and Creative Economic Ministry's efforts to promote Indonesian tourism sector in India is through local films," Sapta noted.
According to him, films were effective media of promoting and introducing a country's culture and the way of life.
Sapta added that Indian community were interested in Indonesian films and the same was also true with Indonesian people to Indian movies.
"Indonesia has thousands of islands and amazing natural beauty. Bali, for example, is more famous in the world after becoming a shooting location of a well-known production house," he said.
