TIMESINDONESIA, JEMBER – Minister of Tourism, Arief Yahya, said he is impressed with the Jember Fashion Carnival (JFC) event.

"It's really cool. It's not wrong if we enter JFC into a Wonderful Top 3 Event Calendar of Indonesia," Arief said after watching the JFC Grand Carnival in Jember, East Java, Sunday (08/12/2018).

He said the carnival performed by JFC was as level as with Notting Hill's international carnival in the United States and Reunion Carnival in Paris. In fact, the national costum designed by President of JFC Dynand Fariz has also won eleven times in various international competitions, one of them were the Miss Universe 2015 in Florida.

Arief claimed that the surge in visits to Indonesia, especially Jember, also occurred throughout the JFC event from August 8 to 12. In fact, he said the number of domestic tourists increased by 500 thousand.

"If the number of foreign tourists are at around 3000 to 5000 people, the biggest are the tourists from Indonesia or domestic tourists, which are around 500,000 people," he said.
