EU`s flight ban and the impact on Indonesia (tourism)

fahmi — July 21, 2007 / 11:53 pm

Since European Commission ban about 51 Indonesian airline companies from flying to the European Union member countries as of July 6, 2007, less than a week some air travel operators in Indonesia began complaining this weekend over a blow to the tourism sector. The most complains are coming from Bali and Surabaya tourist agent because their European guests are urged to cancel their flights to other Indonesian cities.

From some sources, European tourists who plan holidaying in Indonesia are now advised by European travel agents to cancel their domestic flights for scheduled visits to Indonesia. For example, French and German tourists who are traveling from Bali to Surabaya, are now urged to cancel their flights to Manado, North Sulawesi. Other European tourists who plan to holiday in Bali and intend to travel to Makassar, South Sulawesi are also urged to cancel their flight plans.

If this ban can’t be stopped, it could reduce the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia. And the impact can be a dooms day for Indonesia tourism.
