Lack of marine tourism development criticized

ENPASAR: Chairman of the Bali branch of the Indonesian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Gde Wiratha, criticized the Bali administration for the lack of development of marine tourism in the island province.

"Our undersea view is so beautiful and so interesting for everyone, and yet we have done nothing to try and sell it because of the lack of development in this particular market," Wiratha said Friday as quoted by Antara news agency.

He cited Benoa Harbor, the island's largest cruise ship port, which he said remained badly managed with dirty water left to flow out into the sea.
