A delegation from Bandung, Indonesia, visited the city to explore its tourism potential. The delegates, belonging to the Bandung Cultural Department and Bandung Tourism Promotion Board, visited tourist spots in and around the city. They were very impressed with the city and promised to promote it in Bandung. To facilitate mutual cooperation, Bandung Tourism signed an MoU with Tours and Travels Association Andhra Pradesh.

Visakhapatnam is connected well to Bandung via Singapore and the officials said that it would take only six hours to reach as there was a direct flight to Singapore operated by Silk Air.

Cultural show

The visitors organised a cultural show in the evening at Four Points Hotel and showcased some of their traditional dances. The performances were colourful and full of energy and provided a glimpse into their rich heritage. A presentation was also made about the places to visit in and around Bandung and also various shopping attractions.
