WONDERFUL INDONESIA PROMOTION AT INDONESIA STREET BUKIT BINTANG FIESTA 2017

Indonesia is one of my favourite place when it comes to travel. They always amazed me with full of excitement whenever I go there. Beautiful island of Bali, the best nasi Padang at Bandung, crystal clear beaches of Gili Trawangan, stunning scenery of Flores and many more.

For record, Indonesia is made up of thousands of volcanic islands, home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. It’s known for beaches, volcanoes, Komodo dragons and jungles sheltering elephants, orang-utans and tigers. On the island of Java lies Indonesia's vibrant, sprawling capital, Jakarta, and the city of Yogyakarta, known for gamelan music and traditional puppetry. The population of 257.6 million (2015 according to World Bank) make this beautiful land such a wonderful place to discover. I believe that most of Malaysian love to travel in Indonesia because it easy for them to communicate with local as well as easy to find halal food.

Recently, The Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur proudly organised the INDONESIAN STREET BUKIT BINTANG FIESTA 2017 that happened at Pavilion KL from 18-21 May 2017.
