Indonesia’s Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno is on a mission to get Chinese tourists to look beyond Bali for their next tropical getaway.

Indonesia will finalize visa waivers for more countries before the change of government in October, said Uno. He previously said that the visa-free entry policy would be expanded to 20 more nationalities, including China, the United States, and India.

"But increasingly, these younger Chinese tourists would like to experience the other three S of sun, sea, and sand — into serenity, spirituality, and sustainability," he added. So, the government is developing “Bali experiences” on many other islands to bring in 1.3 million visitors from China this year.
