Indonesia has appointed Canadian-born Chinese actress Christy Chung to act as a tourism ambassador for the country.
The Antara news agency reports that Ms Chung, who has starred in movies alongside Jet Li and Jackie Chan, will work with the ministry on a series of promotional activities to attract Chinese visitors.
“The exotic islands in Indonesia are like a jewel buried, and are rich in tourism potential. Through our work with Christy Chung and some of the leading hotels in Indonesia, we would like to introduce the best travel experience in Southeast Asia to the tourists,” said Arief Yahya, Indonesia’s Tourism Minister.
Ms Chung embarked on her “Pesona Indonesia” journey this week, visiting Bali and Komodo Island. Indonesia is targeting 2.1 million visitor arrivals from China.
