JAKARTA, April 18 (Bloomberg): Indonesia aims to welcome back foreign tourists to the resort islands of Bali, Bintan and Batam by the end of July, with a plan to speed up vaccinations in those areas to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19).
The government is in talks with Singapore, China, South Korea, India, the Netherlands and United Arab Emirates for potential travel bubbles that will allow their nationals to visit Indonesia’s so-called "green zones,” or sites that have curbed Covid-19 infections and vaccinated a significant portion of their local population, Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno said in an interview on Friday.
