Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The Bali branch of the Indonesian
Association of Tour Operators (Asita) said increase in the flight
frequency planned by major Mideast airlines - Qatar Airways and
Emirates Airlines between Middle East and Bali would significantly
contribute to the island`s tourism growth.
Qatar Airways said through its Instagram it would increase
flights to three times between Doha to Bali starting May 7, 2017.
"Now there will be more reasons to see the yet untouched beauty
of Bali," the airline wrote in its social media account that drew more
than ten thousands of comments.
Earlier this month, another major airline from that region,
Emirate Airlines of the United Arab Emirates already announced plan to
increase flight frequency to twice everyday from Dubai to Bali
starting July 2 this year.
The increase in the flight frequency by the two world class
airlines would further draw foreign tourists to Bali, Chairman of the
Bali branch of Asita Ketut Ardana said here on Monday.
Ardana said the recent holidaying visit of Saudi King Salman bin
Abdulaziz Al Saud to Bali has added to the attraction of Bali for
tourists from Middle East.
"Bali is already attractive but with the visit of the Saudi King
and his large entourage made Bali more attractive for holiday makers
from Middle East," he said.
The increase in the flight frequency by the two airlines would
facilitate the transport of tourists from that region to Bali, he added. (WDY)
