Bali certainly has attracted a lot of people’s attention for a long time. Last month, the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, came to Indonesia. After meeting with President Joko Widodo to sign some agreement, he decided to take a vacation in Bali. Then, at the end of March, another world leader visit this country again. This time is the president of France, Francois Hollande. Similarly, he also came to this country to sign a cooperation. In contrast to the king, he did not go to the paradise island. So, what is the connection between him and Bali?
As we said before, the reasons why President Hollande came to Indonesia is to establish a cooperation of both nations. Particularly, he focuses on the field of economy as well as culture industry in the digital era. There are 3 agreement of which both presidents have signed. Among those three, the second agreement is quite interesting. It is about the agreement between Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation and Festival Film Romantic Cabourg. In this contract, both parties have decided to build a bridge in Nusa Dua, Bali. It is not an ordinary bridge since it is called as Lovewalk.
The purpose of this bridge construction is to greet the prime edition of Asia Pacific Film Festival. But, what is the reason behind choosing Nusa Dua as the spot? Most people know that Bali has a lot of romantic spots. Among all of them, Nusa Dua is considered to be the most romantic. In addition, some people claim this peaceful place as a symbol of love and harmony. Lovewalk will be ready on the upcoming November 2017. It is near the day of the film festival.
Meanwhile, this bridge will take the same design as the one in Cabourg. As some of you already know, that bridge is a popular destination for all lovers. Every couple who goes there will set a padlock on the fence to symbolize their love.
Can you imagine what will happen if the bridge is completely finished? There is no doubt that Lovewalk will become very famous, especially for all lovebirds. This will add another tourism attractions we can go to when we visit Bali. Furthermore, once the bridge is ready to use, it will become a great place to hold some special occassions such as Valentine’s day, proposal, and even wedding party.
Besides as the symbol of love for couples, Suzie Pietri, the representative of Cabourg Romantic Film Festival, hopes that this bridge of love will be the prove of how France and Indonesia can become a country of love and romance. We cannot agree more with that statement. In fact, we even cannot wait how the bridge will look like. Not only us, most of you must be certainly excited to see the result, right? We can see it now that soon Lovewalk will be full of tourists, either from domestic or overseas.So, prepare yourself when this bridge of love is done.
