South Asian tourism country Indonesia is trying to recover the recent tourism loss that happened due to the multiple eruption of Mount Agung, a volcano on the popular island located in Bali.
The tourist companies in Indonesia were relying on rising numbers of visitors to the country to help hit overall foreign visitor targets of 17 million and 20 million set for this year and next.
But the tourist bureaus have been struggling to convince most of the international tourists about their safety and security during their time spent in Bali, owing to continued seismic and magmatic activity in the region.
The picturesque resort island of Bali, which was selected as the world’s best tourist destination by TripAdvisor in 2017, has contributed around 40 percent to the nation’s overall foreign tourist arrivals for years, followed by the capital city of Jakarta at 30 percent and Indonesia’s western region that accounts for 20 percent.
The brief closure of Bali airport following the multiple eruptions in late November last year and the subsequent high alert status over possible further eruptions have hammered Bali’s tourism industry.
The volcanic events of Mount Agung prompted the local and the central governments of major tourist supplying countries to Indonesia to issue travel warning for their nationals traveling to Bali.
In response, tourism ministry of Indonesia took instantaneous steps to try and recuperate the international confidence in the country and tried to redress significant slump of Bali in visitors, as the numbers have been crucial to the tourism targets of the government.
