Should Be Wiser : BTB
The Australian Government
pursued to ratify a Travel Advisory for
its citizens in order they do not visit
Jakarta or Bali following the finding of
intelligence about the probable action of
suicide bombers in Indonesia.
Responding,
the Chairman of Bali Tourism Board (BTB),
Putu Agus Antara to Bali Travel News said
that Australian government should be wise
and did not ratify the travel warning hurriedly.
“Indonesia, especially Bali, has mutual
benefit relations, mutual completion and
unforgettable romanticism, even Australians
consider this island of thousands temples
their second home,” he recalled.
That matter, according to Antara, could
be proved by the fact that many citizens
of the kangaroo country select Bali as their
field of business operation and residence.
Similarly, the existence of bilateral cooperation
between the police of the Republic of Indonesia
with the Australian Federal Police (AFP)
is evidence of relationship intimacy of
both countries. “If travel advisory
stays validated it means that the Australian
government does not believe in its own apparatus,”
said Antara. However, his party is confident
that the travel advisory will be withdrawn
within weeks considering that relationship
romanticism of both countries is just like
twin brothers that complete each other.
A similar situation is also declared by
the Chairman of Bali Chapter of the Indonesian
Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI),
Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati. Bali
and Australia have vastly close emotional
relationships. The Australian government
is asked to be wiser so it would not result
in negative reaction toward the relationship
romanticism of both regions.
According to the man that is familiarly
addressed Cok Ace a large number of Australians
work and stay permanently in most tourist
resorts in Bali. Even, some of them have
identity cards as Indonesian citizens that
stay permanently in Bali. (BTN/013)
