Garuda promotes RI tourism

JAKARTA (JP): One-hundred-and-fifty Australian travel agents
have arrived here at the invitation of national airline Garuda
Indonesia and its subsidiary PT Garuda Orient Holiday, as part of
Garuda's plan to promote the archipelago.

Radisson Hotel manager Linda Muhlis said yesterday her hotel
would put on a cultural introductory show today for the
Australians.

She said they would be divided into 10 groups to visit mount
Bromo in East Java, Yogyakarta and Surakarta (Solo) in Central
Java, Minangkabau in West Sumatra, Manado in North Sulawesi,
Samosir island in North Sumatra, Bali, Lombok and other tourist
destinations.

Indonesia wants to introduce its diversified culture to the
Australians who will hopefully promote it in the kangaroo
continent, she said. (icn)
