Hey there, travel bugs and adventure seekers. Hold onto your hats ’cause Indonesia’s bringing the heat to India with its epic tourism showcase, “Wonderful Indonesia.”
So, check it: the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of the Republic of Indonesia is hyped to announce their next move after a mega-successful gig in Mumbai. Now, they’re gearing up for the ultimate travel showdown at South Asia’s Travel & Tourism Exchange (SATTE) in New Delhi from February 22 to 24, 2024. It’s gonna be lit.
Minister Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno spilled the tea on how Indians are flocking to Indonesia like never before. In 2023 alone, over 6,00,000 Indian travelers hit up Indo-land, with a jaw-dropping growth of 125.8%. India’s ranking sixth in the charts of foreign tourists in Indonesia and second in Bali? You betcha.
The vibe at the Wonderful Indonesia pavilion in Hall 10 Booth B08 is gonna be off the charts. Picture this: iconic sights like the Borobudur and Prambanan temples, decked out in traditional Javanese swag. Plus, they’re all about that “Keep the Wonder” theme, showcasing Indonesia’s five Super Priority Destinations. It’s gonna be a feast for the senses with 41 tourism hotspots on display, including dope hotels, restaurants, and jaw-dropping attractions. Oh, and shoutout to Marriott Indonesia and Indonesia Safari Park for holding it down as official partners.
And peep this: Indonesia ain’t playing around with sustainability. They’re teaming up with Dus Duk Duk to create eco-friendly decorations made from 100% recycled cardboard. Talk about keeping it green. Rumah Atsiri Indonesia is also bringing the vibes with their ‘Scent of Wonderful Indonesia,’ adding that authentic fragrance to the mix. Smells like a winner to us.
Deputy Minister Ni Made Ayu Marthini ain’t holding back either. Bali might be the hot spot, but they’re shining a spotlight on five other must-visit destinations like Lake Toba, Borobudur Temple, and more. From dreamy weddings to epic family vacays, they’ve got something for everyone. Plus, they’re rolling out the red carpet for luxury travellers with bespoke tour packages fit for royalty.
But wait, there’s more! Indonesia’s doubling down on its silver screen appeal. With the launch of Indonesia Film Facilitation (IFFa), they’re turning heads and cameras toward their breathtaking filming locations. Lights, camera, action – it’s gonna be a blockbuster.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, mark your calendars for the Indonesia Sales Mission in Chandigarh on September 26, 2024. It’s gonna be the ultimate mashup of Indonesia and Chandigarh’s tourism scene. This collab with the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi is set to level up Indonesia’s tourism game across India. Get ready to pack those bags, fam – Indonesia’s calling your name.
