Hence, our expectation is that the quarantine policy for international travelers will be revoked so that there will be more tourists.

Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands Riau Islands Governor Ansar Ahmad, here on Saturday, urged the central government to revoke mandatory quarantine for international travelers visiting the region under the travel bubble scheme.

“We seek discretion from the central (government) concerning the travel bubble. If international travelers are free of quarantine while visiting Bali, Riau Islands should also be free,” he said.

The mandatory quarantine policy for international travelers may prove burdensome for tourists because they usually visit Riau Islands for four to seven days, he explained.

Currently, there are dozens of Singaporean tourists visiting Riau Islands after a gap of two years due to the pandemic, he highlighted.
