Chinese tourist group in Yogya

YOGYAKARTA: A group of 14 Chinese travel industry
professionals and journalists visited Yogyakarta on Friday to
learn more about tourism in the province.

Led by the deputy director-general of the China National
Tourism Administration's Industry Management Department, Liu Shi
Jun, the delegation was received by Yogyakarta Deputy Governor
Pakualam IX at his office on Friday.

"This visit is part of our Jakarta-Yogyakarta-Bali trip that
has the main objective of getting first-hand information about
how tourism can be increased after the tsunami disaster -- how to
bring Chinese travelers back to Indonesia," Liu said after the
meeting. "I'm sure ... we can help Chinese citizens learn more
about the situation in Indonesia and I'm sure they will come
back."

Liu suggested the government and travel industry here do more
promotion and marketing in China so that Chinese travelers knew
what was on offer. -- JP
