Indonesia plans to resume travel to and from four countries, including Japan, in an effort towards economic recovery after the tourism sector has been hit especially hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently designing travel bubbles for four countries -- China, South Korea, Japan and Australia. Discussions have been ongoing to set up criteria for permitting travel between Indonesia and the four countries.
After the criteria are made, negotiations will be held with those countries for two, three or four weeks. When agreements are reached, the travel bubbles will be opened.
The arrangements with the four countries will be ‘prototypes’ before other travel routes are opened. The four countries were selected because their investment has helped Indonesia's economy a lot.
