JAKARTA (Bernama): Governor of Indonesia’s Riau Islands Ansar Ahmad said the "travel bubble” scheme with Singapore, initially slated for October 2021, has been cancelled following a surge in Covid-19 cases in the nearby city-state.
The Antara news agency cited Ahmad as stating on Wednesday (Oct 6) that the Riau Islands administration is looking to attract domestic tourists to the province pending the central government’s decision to resume the travel bubble scheme between the province and Singapore in the future, Vietnam news agency (VNA) reported.
