The Tourism
Ministry is set to hold the 2017 Indonesia Golf Sales Mission event in Katori
city, northern Chiba Prefecture, Japan, on June 8.
This event
is part of the ministry’s effort to achieve this year’s target of welcoming
762,000 Japanese tourists to Indonesia.
“Four
sellers are set to participate in this event, namely Bali Fantastic, Riverside
Golf Club, Multi Holiday and the Garuda Indonesia [branch] in Tokyo. They are
at the frontlines in selling golf travel packages to 50 buyers consisting of
travel agents, golf communities and associations in Katori,” said I Gde Pitana,
the ministry's deputy for overseas promotion.
The event,
supported by the Indonesian Embassy in Japan, Visit Indonesia Tourism Office
(VITO) Japan and the Indonesian Golf Course Owners Association (APLGI), will be
held at the Narita no Mori Country Club.
The
ministry's deputy assistant for Asia Pacific tourism promotion, Vinsensius
Jemadu, said the sales mission will promote Indonesia's 10 priority
destinations of Lake Toba, Tanjung Kelayang, Tanjung Lesung, Thousand Islands,
Borobudur temple, Bromo - Tengger - Semeru, Mandalika, Wakatobi, Labuan Bajo
and Morotai.
“A number of
foreign and local investors are invited to develop these destinations. But
apart from them, the historic relations between Japan and Indonesia have
resulted in plenty of Japanese caves located across the archipelago. The tight
relationship between the two countries was also evidenced during Japan’s fifth
anniversary of the tsunami disaster a few months ago at the Aceh
Tsunami Museum,” said Vinsensius.
