European tourists visit Central Java

SEMARANG: Some 338 tourists from Europe are scheduled to arrive
at Tanjung Emas seaport in the Central Java capital of Semarang
on Thursday.

After arriving at the seaport, the tourists will visit prime
tourist destinations in the province, namely Borobudur Temple in
Magelang regency and the Train Museum in Semarang regency.

"The arrival of a large number of tourists from Europe is the
first after four years," said Agus Suyono, the head of the
Central Java Tourism Office, on Wednesday.

The tourists were keen to visit Central Java province after
they heard that the situation in Indonesia had returned to
normal.

Indonesia has been rocked by communal violence and bomb
attacks in the past few years, but the situation has been
relatively peaceful since last year. -- JP
