Hanoi (VNA) - A travel corridor between Bali of Indonesia and the Republic of Korea(RoK) has been proposed to the Indonesian government by Angkasa Pura I LTDwhich operates the Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport.

According to President Director of Angkasa Pura I Faik Fahmi, the proposedprogramme, called the Safe Corridor Initiative (SCI), is a bilateralcooperation between Ngurah Rai Airport and Incheon Airport in the RoK.

The above proposal was made in the context that travel restriction betweencountries has caused the number of international visitors to Bali to drop seriously,greatly affecting Indonesia’s tourism industry.

This is considered as a good solution for both governments, Fahmi said.

The two sides have completed preparations for carrying out the programme, whichis scheduled to start in late October 2020, he added.  
Indonesia plans to replicate this model of cooperation with other countries ifthe programme is a success./.
