Sting says his kids won’t get trust funds Associated Press
LONDON — Pop icon Sting says his children won’t be getting trust funds from his vast fortune, assuming there’s any money left in it. The 16-time Grammy Award winner and former frontman of The Police, told The Mail on Sunday that the vast wealth would be “albatrosses” around the necks of his six children. The singer-songwriter who grew up in a shipbuilding community in northeast England says he told the kids, “there won’t be much money left because we are spending it!” “People make assumptions, that they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but they have not been given a lot,” he was quoted as saying. Sting’s wealth was estimated at 180 million pounds ($306 million) by the Sunday Times Rich List.

Travelers from Europe, especially the UK, were considered by the Association of Indonesia Tour Travel Agencies (ASITA) of Bali Chapter as big spender travelers.
“Travelers from the UK have a better expenditures and use of hotel than the Australian travelers because most Australian travelers have repeatedly come to Indonesia. So, they have known where to look for cheaper price. Then, they have also known the places to go,” said Chairman of ASITA Bali, Ketut Ardana, in Denpasar. According to him, the potential for the UK travelers to Indonesia, especially Bali, was quite high. However, due to minimal direct flight, only a few of the UK people who wanted to spend holiday in Indonesia. Actually, in the 1980s the European tourist arrivals, such as those from the UK had skyrocketed because many foreign airlines offered their flight services to Indonesia. “Indonesia, especially Bali, has been quite popular in the UK. I think the travelers from the UK have not been included in the top 10 foreign travelers who came to Bali. I am grateful that Garuda Indonesia re-opens its flight services to the UK,” he said. General Manager of Garuda Indonesia for UK and Ireland, Jubi Prasetyo, admitted that after being closed for ten years, Garuda Indonesia from Jakarta re-opened its flight services for the route of Jakarta-London and London-Jakarta. Re-opening of the direct flight to the UK, according to Jubi, was based on consideration that the UK has a potential market for Indonesia. “We are conducting a vigorous campaign to start selling, how to fill in the airline seat with passengers and win the competition in Europe,” he said. He said the countries in Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Vietnam had been performing promotion to such market, even aggressively promoted their own country. “Indonesia does not want to be left behind. Then, making proactive measure is one of the strategies of Garuda Indonesia in reaching the market,” he said. As has been known, the United Kingdom (UK) posed a union of the states of the United Kingdom comprising the England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Since the incorporation of the Northern Ireland, the name of the union became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, where the Britain was one of the countries incorporating in it.
