Asian-African Carnival to become annual event for developing "Tempat Wisata Di Bandung"

One of the best "Tempat Wisata Di Bandung" is Asian-African Carnival. As part of a week-long program to celebrate the Asian-African Conference's 60th anniversary, the Asian-African Carnival was held on April 25. Around 70 countries had participated in the carnival, including China, India and Egypt.

The carnival started with Bandung Mayor Ridwan Kamil and Tourism Minister Arief Yahya greeting the eager spectators from the top of a Bandung tour bus.

With the starting point of Bandung's Simpang Lima, the carnival participants then started to grace Jl. Asia-Afrika, showcasing not only their extravagantly colorful costumes, but also displaying the cultural and artistic performances of their countries of origin.

The carnival excited its spectators, many of whom were visitors and foreigners. Many Bandung residents were also awed when the city finally hosted a lavish carnival such as the world renowned Jember Fashion Carnival.

Earlier this week on May 4, Mayor Ridwan shared the news regarding the Asian-African Conference anniversary in Bandung.

With the huge financial success gained from the foreign exchange after a week full of Asian-African Conference-inspired events, the Tourism Ministry set out to make Bandung one of its top priorities for developing urban tourist attractions in Indonesia, the mayor announced.

This means that, in the future, the Tourism Ministry will hold more events in Bandung, such as the carnival. "Therefore, the Asian-African Carnival is set to be one of annual events for developing Wisata Bandung," the mayor said. (Source : The Jakarta Post)
