IDXChannel - India is one of the most prospective tourism markets for Bali as it was recorded as the second largest country of origin for foreign tourists to Bali in 2022.
As Indonesia's main tourism destination, Bali experienced the worst economic contraction during the pandemic among other provinces. As the Covid-19 pandemic status is revoked, Bali tourism is expected to revive through an increase in foreign tourist visits.
For the above-mentioned reasons, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated the Strategy Formulation and Joint Promotion of Bali Tourism for the Indian Market event last week in Kuta, Bali.
Several invitees were the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in New Delhi, the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Mumbai, the Ministry of Transportation, the National Development Planning Agency, the local government Tourism Offices, as well as various associations and tourism industry actors in Bali.
"The event aimed to formulate a joint promotion strategy for Bali tourism through the implementation of economic diplomacy in India," the Foreign Affairs Ministry stated in a press release on Monday (6/6/2023).
