The Indonesian Embassy in Tripoli has announced a new initiative to strengthen tourism and business ties with Libya, focusing on halal-friendly travel.
Chargé d'Affaires, Dede Achmad Rifai hosted a meeting and fast-breaking event with ten leading Libyan travel agents at a restaurant near the Marcus Aurelius Monument in Tripoli.
The gathering highlighted Indonesia’s top tourist destinations and introduced the Bali & Beyond Travel Fair 2025 (BBTF), scheduled for June 11-15 in Bali.
The BBTF 2025 will bring together hundreds of international buyers and sellers, providing a platform to promote sustainable tourism, economic partnerships, and cultural exchange.
The embassy encouraged Libyan travel agents to attend, emphasizing the business opportunities available.
"We hope Libya's participation in BBTF 2025 will enhance tourism cooperation, create business opportunities, and attract more Libyan tourists to Indonesia," said Rifai.
Beyond Bali, the embassy is also promoting Indonesia’s tourism sector through the Trade Expo Indonesia in October 2025, which will allow Libyan entrepreneurs to explore business and leisure opportunities in Jakarta and its surroundings.
According to the Indonesian Embassy, attendees will have the chance to visit major attractions, including, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a cultural heritage park, Ancol Family Recreation Park, Istiqlal Mosque - the largest in Southeast Asia- tea plantations, Safari Park in the green highlands, and shopping districts featuring quality goods at competitive prices
The Indonesian Embassy has confirmed that it will facilitate and accompany Libyan travel agents at both events, ensuring smooth participation.
The embassy also highlighted that Indonesia offers a range of halal-friendly services, accommodations, and dining options, making it a prime destination for Libyan travelers.
This initiative, according to the embassy, reflects Indonesia’s commitment to expanding its tourism sector while strengthening diplomatic and economic ties with Libya.
