JAKARTA (JP): The government will soon launch a tourism
campaign in several countries in Asia, Europe and northern
America in a bid to mend the image of the country's tainted
tourism sector.

I Gede Ardika, the directorate general of the Ministry of
Tourism and Art, said on Tuesday that the countries would include
Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Japan, Australia, the
United States and Canada.

The program, which will be held in cooperation with the
Indonesian Tourism Promotion Board, is the next phase of the
"rescue program" that started two years ago to improve the
battered tourism image because of the economic crisis and series
of unrests. (06)
