"This success increases confidence in tourism recovery and attracts more tourists to come to Indonesia, especially business tourists," Vinsensius said in a written statement, Tuesday, April 18.
"This sales mission is to strengthen the MICE sector (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) Indonesia to the Chinese market," he added.

Indonesia and China have recently opened direct flights, namely direct flights from Guangzhou to Jakarta by China Southern Airlines and Garuda Indonesia, and Shenzhen to Jakarta by China Southern Airlines.
