There has been a lot of talk about Indonesia trying to attract 7 million tourists to its shores this year. This kicked off with, as usual, a badly planned marketing campaign with a shite slogan and various other events along with promises by the government to “clean up the Immigration Department.
An Indonesian trade magazine "Travel Trade Gazette" (TTG) reported that the Indonesian Department of Culture and Tourism is seeking agreement to change current visa regulations to permit visa-free short visits from 10 countries.
If the proposal submitted to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights is successful, the citizens of Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, U.K., Germany, France, the Netherlands and Russia would be able to undertake holiday visits without having to purchase either a 7 or 30-day visa at the Indonesian port of entry.
Good News, Hurrah, much throwing of hats and cheering from the galleries!
Needless to say, I was waiting for the fuck-up, and then I found it!
"Other efforts include increasing immigration counters at Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta and Bali airports; encouraging airlines, both domestic and international, to open or increase services to tourist detonations "
Pak Fuckwit from TTG later admitted his speech “went down a bomb!”
