0 This is the reason Komodo Strikethrough

The Indonesian government expressed no objection if the organizers "New7Wonders" suspend or remove the Komodo National Park from the list of 28 finalists.

New7Wonders Foundation has announced its status as an organizer of Komodo Island as finalists will be suspended starting on February 7, 2011.

Minister of Culture and Tourism, Jero Wacik, tells the deletion Happenings Komodo. He said, in December last, New7Wonders Foundation to meet him. "They asked Indonesia to host a declaration on 11 month 11 year 2011. Well, I've had a crush on, when Indonesia's declaration of world we'll be able to echo. But the weight requirements, so must pay a commitment fee," Jero said, after attending Plenary Meeting of the Cabinet at the Presidential Office on Wednesday (02/02/2011) night.

Government, continued Jero, was asked to pay 10 million dollars as a commitment to host the announcement. Not only that, for the implementation, the organizers were also asked to spend 35 million U.S. dollars. "So, in total we spend 45 million U.S. dollars, or more than Rp 400 billion. I think, because I am a former businessman, worth baseball calculated to pay Rp 400 billion to promote host dragons that do not necessarily win, are you still in select again into seven, "he explained.

Then, Jero said, that money should be spent as host very large and not commensurate with what is available. "It could recoup their baseball (turnover). Although I still want to promote Komodo," Jero said.

Because of the refusal of Indonesia, the organizers declared Komodo would be banned. "They say, if Indonesia is not able to host, we will delete," he said.

Statement of the organizers considered odd by Jero. He said that if Indonesia was not willing to host, should be still there are 27 other countries who also entered the finalists can be replaced without having to write off Komodo participation as a finalist. "For me no problem in other countries, which is important we vote. If the world into seven large memvote and yes it can be seven wonders. That's my mind," Jero said.

Although omitted, Jero said, Indonesia has benefited from the inclusion of Komodo as 28 finalists. Visits to the island of Komodo has increased significantly.
