The Indonesian Embassy in Tripoli has launched a new initiative aimed at enhancing tourism and business connections with Libya, with a particular focus on halal-friendly travel. Chargé d’Affaires Dede Achmad Rifai hosted a meeting and iftar event with ten prominent Libyan travel agents at a restaurant near the Marcus Aurelius Monument in Tripoli.

The gathering showcased Indonesia’s premier tourist destinations and introduced the Bali & Beyond Travel Fair 2025 (BBTF), set to take place from June 11-15 in Bali. The BBTF 2025 will unite hundreds of international buyers and sellers, creating a platform to promote sustainable tourism, economic partnerships, and cultural exchange.

The embassy encouraged Libyan travel agents to participate, highlighting the business opportunities that await. “We hope Libya’s involvement in BBTF 2025 will strengthen tourism cooperation, generate business prospects, and attract more Libyan tourists to Indonesia,” stated Rifai.

In addition to Bali, the embassy is also promoting Indonesia’s tourism sector through the Trade Expo Indonesia in October 2025, which will provide Libyan entrepreneurs with the chance to explore business and leisure opportunities in Jakarta and its surrounding areas.

According to the Indonesian Embassy, attendees will have the opportunity 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 lush highlands, and shopping districts offering quality goods at competitive prices.

The Indonesian Embassy has confirmed that it will assist and accompany Libyan travel agents at both events to ensure a seamless experience. The embassy also emphasized that Indonesia provides a variety of halal-friendly services, accommodations, and dining options, making it an ideal destination for Libyan travelers.

This initiative reflects Indonesia’s commitment to expanding its tourism sector while simultaneously strengthening diplomatic and economic relations with Libya.
