Many tourist from Iran come to Bali
Comments(2) We know Iran is a conservationist country, but many Iranian peoples have overseas traveling hobby. Many places has been their travel destination, such as Brazil, Cyprus, Turki, Dubai, India, Thailand, Malaysia and also Indonesia. Especially Indonesia, travel visit by Iranian peoples to Bali on last 3 years has increased. It’s caused our government put into effect Visa on Arrival (VoA). It’s also implicated by official visited of Iran President in several month ago where his visited has been successful.
Bali has been a favorite destination for Iran tourist, beside Malaysia and Thailand. 3 years ago, their first group was only 75 peoples, but after that it’s increased, said a tour guide for Iran tourist. Most Iran tourist be opting Bali as their travel destination as compared to another destination, it’s caused Bali has unique culture and its panoram more complete that others.
Iran touris can be group as midle-top class tourist as they spend much time on five-star hotels in Nusa Dua and Kuta area. Next June 2009, Mahar Airways - a flight company from Iran – will open their flight rute direct from Teheran to Jakarta, it will increase many Iran tourist come to Indonesia especially Bali, if we do incessant promotion. I wish be sides living in five-star Resort, Iran tourist also make choice to live in Bali villas as its also give five-star services but they can have private holiday.
VOA (visa on arrival) has not only effected the Iran’s traveler and also make long queuing upon terminal arrival in an international airport. I got many constructive feedback from tourist who use our service at the airport. one oh them inform me that there is counter but no one attended. Airport’s management should anticipate arrival of the flight,of course there is flight time table will guide us when we should add more staff to ensure Visa on arrival not annoying the tourist
I’m not from Iran and I love Bali for my vacations, I usually stay at the Royal Bali Beach Club at Candidasa, one of the best resorts in the area. http://www.club.royal-holiday.com/index.php?fuseaction=home.resort&id=183
