Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Several tourists from China who were scheduled
to arrive in Bali aboard chartered flights have been forced to postpone
their departure due to the recent Jakarta terror attack, according to a
tourism official.
"Some tour operators reported that numerous Chinese tourists who
use charter flights had postponed their departure to Bali due to the
impact of the bomb blasts at the Sarinah departmental store in Jakarta,"
Chairman of the Indonesian Association of Travel Agencies (Asita) for
Bali Ketut Ardana stated here on Friday.
Ardana explained that despite making assurance that the distance
between Jakarta and Bali was quite far and the security situation on the
island of Bali was safe, the Chinese tourists nevertheless postponed
their travel plans to spend the Chinese Lunar New Year holidays.
However, the arrival of tourists aboard regular flights from "the
bamboo curtain" is ongoing, and there are no constraints.
Ardana further noted that the Lunar New Year is the time when
several tourists from China visit Bali to spend their holidays using
either regular or chartered flights.
He even mentioned that in previous years, the number of tourists
from China saw an increase of 20 percent due to the Lunar New Year
holidays. (WDY)
