Bali tourism ‘not hurt by S. Korean warning’
DENPASAR: The head of the Bali Tourism Office Gde Nurjaya has told the Jakarta Post that the Korean government’s warning against national airline Garuda Indonesia is yet to affect tourism on the island.
South Korea is currently one of Bali’s major tourist markets after Japan, Australia and Taiwan. Approximately 63,505 South Korean visitors arrived in Bali between January and June 2007.
The South Korean government recently told foreign airlines Garuda Indonesia, Iran Air, Sakhalinsk, Vladivostok Air and Davilia Far East Airways from Russia and Royal Khmer Airlines and Progress Multi Transportation Air from Cambodia to improve their services, safety and security.
Garuda Indonesia currently runs direct flights between Denpasar and Seoul.
The Korean warning follows moves by the European Union to bar Garuda from flying into EU countries – although currently Garuda does not operate into Europe.
