Comments on other issues: Bandung raises tourist visit target to 500,000

The government has substantially increased its target for foreign tourist arrivals to Bandung, West Java, according to Bandung Mayor Ridwan Kamil. '€œThe tourism ministry has assigned me to raise the number of foreign tourist arrivals to Bandung from 90,000 visits per year to 500,000 visits,'€ Ridwan said in Bandung on Monday.

Your comments:

Bandung the city itself has a lot of bars, cafes, restaurants and street food. Some of them have a great view. The surrounding areas are tea plantations, forests, hills and mountains.

Let'€™s not forget the factory outlets and local brand clothing famous in Asia. So, in Bandung you can eat, sleep, hike, bike, off road, shop and drink. And there'€™s no midnight curfew anymore.

I lived there for two years and never figured out why Jakartans go there on weekends. Cihampelas is a poor man'€™s Malioboro and Paris van Java (PVJ) is just a mall.
