Indonesia has planned to hold events to sell tour packages in Macau and Hong Kong on Dec. 12 and Dec. 14 respectively, aimed at further tapping into 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 Islands to 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 Macau and Hong Kong among others were Bunaken, Raja Amat, Mansuar Island, Mike’s Point and Manta’s point.
“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 will be held at Macau’s Hotel Royal and Hong Kong’s Kimberly Hotel and were highly expected to successfully boost tourism.
Indonesia’s upcoming tour package sales events were particularly expected to attract more tourists from the Chinese mainland to visit Indonesia via Hong Kong, Pitana added. MDT/Xinhua
