When<br>\nthe school holidays or end-of-year vacation approach, newspapers<br>\nare filled with the travel ads to tempt students or their parents<br>\nto venture abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the foreign vacations are competitively priced. A<br>\nshort stay of five days, including five-star hotel costs and<br>\nsightseeing tours, in Australia costs no more than Rp 1.5<br>\nmillion.<\/p>\n<p>This is very cheap if compared to roundtrip airfares of nearly<br>\nRp 1 million to Ambon or Banda Aceh in Indonesia. After all,<br>\nthis does not include hotel and local transportation costs.<\/p>\n<p>It is not surprising therefore if the general public,<br>\nyoungsters included, opt to vacation abroad instead of visiting<br>\nrelatives in Ambon or Banda Aceh.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, many of our students, particularly those from<br>\naffluent families, will be more familiar with tourist attractions<br>\nin foreign lands than those in their own country.<\/p>\n<p>I am appealing to the Director General of Tourism to look into<br>\nthis disparity in prices. Don&apos;t let it happen that students from<br>\nwealthy families enjoy and know foreign lands better than their<br>\nown.<\/p>\n<p>I trust this input will be of value to the Directorate General<br>\nof Tourism.<\/p>\n<p>TAN SUN LAY<\/p>\n<p>Bogor, West Java<\/p>",
