Indonesia has planned to hold events to sell tour packages in China's
Macao and Hong Kong on Dec 12 and Dec 14 respectively, aimed at further
tapping significant potentialities from the two markets, a senior
official of the country's Tourism Ministry said.
Deputy Minister for International Marketing Development at the
ministry Gde Pitana said the ministry would send 11 sellers from Bali,
Surabaya, Lombok, Jakarta, Sabang, North Sulawesi, Papua and Riau Isles
in the two events.
Most of Indonesian sellers would highlight marine and undersea tours
with several tour packages in Indonesia's prominent diving and
snorkeling spots.
Besides Bali, tour packages to be offered for potential tourists in
Macao and Hong Kong among others were Bunaken, Raja Amat, Mansuar
Island, Mike's Point and Manta's point, would be offered in the two
events.
"Indonesia has plenty of beautiful undersea spots for diving and
snorkeling. Indonesia had just earned The Best Dive Destination award in
the recent World Travel Market event in London last month," Pitana said
recently.
He said the upcoming sales mission events held in Macao's Royal Hotel
and Hong Kong's Kimberly Hotel were highly expected to successfully tap
the momentum prior to year-end vacation this year.
Indonesia's upcoming tour package sales events were particularly
expected to attract more tourists from the Chinese mainland to visit
Indonesia via Hong Kong.
