Jakarta, (Antara) - The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Tourism, has announced three policies in the tourism field, aimed at facilitating Malaysian travelers' visit to Indonesia.
"We want to propagate the new policies in the tourism field that encourage Malaysian travelers to come to Indonesia," said Indonesian Minister of Tourism Arief Yahya in Jakarta, as per a press statement received by Antara on Wednesday.
Under these new policies in the tourism field, the number of Immigration Check-in points for Malaysian travelers have been increased.
Furthermore, a new regulation now abolishes the existing regulation on Clearance Approval for Indonesian Territory (CAIT), making it easier for yachts to enter the Indonesian territory through 18 ports in Indonesia.
Finally, the cabotage principle is being abolished to ease Malaysian cruises' transit, enabling them to pick up and drop off passengers at five appointed ports in Indonesia.
"We hope that the new policies will increase the sales pitch of Indonesia in the world (making it more attractive destination) when it comes to tourism," Iqbal Alamsjah, Head of Legal and Communications, Ministry of Tourism, told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.
At the same time, the Indonesian government has also issued a short-stay visa-free policy for 90 countries.(*)
