Q: Where can I find my organisation/country Contact Person (CP)?
A: In the download section, there is a master list of Contact Persons. The list is in Microsoft Excel and it contains two sheets. One sheet is for Contact Person of IPSF Full Members (FM), and the other is for Contact Person of IPSF Members in Association (MiA).
Q: My country has published travel warnings to Indonesia. What are your recommendations?
A: Indonesia is a safe country. We cannot, by any means, predict what will happen in the future. But looking from the fact that some international conventions are held in Indonesia (exactly in Bali), many tourists still come to Indonesia. We believe that the quality of Indonesia’s hospitality is unaffected by what has happened in the past. However, as a traveller (in any country), you should always be aware of your surroundings, health and belongings and to exercise commonsense and caution as the situation demands. We believe that you will genuinely enjoy the warmth and sincerity of Indonesia hospitality.
