The International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association (FIATA) will hold its World Congress from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 in Bali, the organizer said.

The congress titled "Role of the Forwarders in the Logistics and Supply Chain," was expected to draw up to 1,000 participants from across the world, the Indonesian Forwarders Association (INFA), the organizer, was quoted on Wednesday by The Jakarta Post reported.
The forum is meant to support the government's program of luring foreign tourists back to Indonesia, especially Bali, after a string of terrorist attacks badly hurt travelers' confidence in the country, a government official said.
FIATA is a large organization with a membership of some 40,000 companies that operate in the transportation, forwarding, logistics and supply chain management fields in 85 countries, and 93 national freight forwarder and logistics associations from 85 countries.
Meanwhile, INFA, which has been a member of FIATA for 23 years, has 2,200 members nationwide.
