Tourist info on Internet

JAKARTA (JP): People planning to holiday in Indonesia are now able to look for tourist information and make hotel reservations on the Internet at a new PT Bali Info Iklanindo web-site.

Company director Esther Wijayanti said her company, nicknamed Bali Online, provided information on tourist attractions, 42 hotels and three Indonesian travel agents.

People all over the world can access http://www.indo.com and get information on the country's tourist destinations or make reservation for the hotels and travel agents, she said.

She said Bali Online, set up in November 1995, would not hamper travel agents' business. "People intending to join tours in Indonesia are still required to deal directly with the agencies."

Bali Online recorded 733,000 hits last month, Esther said. (icn)
