Sea tourism to attract Austrians

AMBON, Maluku: Austrian Ambassador Hans Demel urged Governor M. Akib Latuconsina to develop sea tourism and recreations, such as diving and wind surfing, in order to attract more visitors from his country.

"Maluku has great potential for such tourism," Demel was quoted by Antara as saying when he visited the governor on Monday. "Austria doesn't have seas, this is why our people are very attracted to diving and wind surfing."

Demel promised to help advertise Maluku's potential for sea tourism in Austria.

Latuconsina said the province, with its ocean parks, is a paradise for lovers of underwater sports. (swe)
