In addition, this positive impression can trigger tourists to further explore the cultural aspects and natural beauty of the destination.
Thus, hospitality at the airport is not only a service, but also an investment in a country's tourism attractiveness.
"Because most of the tourists are not only looking for natural beauty but they feel how in Indonesia this service is very prioritized, hospitality," the Minister remarked.
Therefore, Minister Uno requested that good service and a pleasant atmosphere with a culture of hospitality be created properly, especially at airports which are the entrance to foreign tourists.
