Indonesia's legislative arm has passed a new law that criminalizes sex before or outside marriage. People convicted of extramarital sex could face as much as one year in prison.
This law would also affect foreigners and tourists that came to visit the country. Some citizens of the country are protesting against this law. While others are seeing it as a welcome development.
Business owners in the country are lamenting that this law can discourage tourists from visiting the country which would affect their businesses negatively. I am also perceiving that this policy might also scare investors from investing in Indonesia. But some religious business owners are of the view that this policy would attract business to the country from other religious or conservative nations or investors.
What are your thoughts?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-63869078Yeah it will largely affect their business because the tourists coming from other countries don't have such laws and they are use to socialising in such ways. In this case, they don't have much choice than to adapt to the new laws if the government is not ready to make any form of amendment.
