Indonesia hopeful of travel advisory review

Indonesia is a country that is often the subject of foreign travel advisories. While Indonesia has no control over this, it recognizes the negative effect the advisories have on the economy.

Australia has had travel advisories against Indonesia ever since the 2002 Sari Club bombings. Considering there have been major terror events in London, Spain, the US and other places, Indonesia feels slighted that Australia has a separate set of guidelines for it.

Indonesian Trade Minister Mari Pangestu, was in Canberra today and raised the issue. Here’s more from The Australian.

Whatever happens, I know 1 less travel warning against Bali will help.
