FOREIGN TOURISTS INTERESTED IN WATCHING GENERAL ELECTIONS IN BALI

Denpasar, Apr 7 (ANTARA) - Tourists from some foreign countries have confirmed their interest to have a close look at the implementation of the Indonesian democratic festivity which will take place on April 9 in Bali and some even had come and stayed in many hotels in this paradise island.

"We received such confirmation on a number of travelers from Europe and other countries who are eager to see in person the implementation of the legislative general election in Bali," a senior tourist guide, Amos Lillo (56) said in Denpasar on Tuesday.

Amos, who is also an advisor of the Indonesian Tourist Guides Association, Bali chapter, expressed thanks to God, for having attracted foreign tourists to see the implementation of the legislative elections.

Therefore, he hoped that many efforts made for the sake of political objectives should not disrupt the tourism world and the culture of Indonesia especially in Bali.
"Just conduct political practices in an elegant manner in line with the value of our culture. During the cooling down period in the runup to the general elections, avoiding political practices which may harm the culture, constitutes one of the clues of national tourism," he said.
