Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Nine events have been set to promote Indonesian tourism in 2013, both at home and abroad, according to deputy minister for Tourism and Creative Economy Sapta Nirwandar.
"We have prepared nine mega events to promote Indonesian tourism next year," Nirwandar said here on Saturday.
He noted that of those events, three will be conducted abroad, and one of these events will focus on Indonesia being a "country partner" during the world's largest tourism exchange in Berlin, Germany from March 6-10, 2013.
"Two other events to be conducted abroad are Cruise Shipping Miami in the United States in March 2013 and International Meeting Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, in May, 2013," he noted.
While the six tourism events at home will include Musi Triboatton II in Palembang, South Sumatra, in November 2013; Semarang Marathon in Central Java in June 2013; Pilgrim Tourism in Surabaya, East Java, in June 2013; Tour de Singkarak V in West Sumatra in June; Sabang International Regatta II in Sabang, Aceh, in September 2013; and Festival Timoresia II in Ambon, Maluku in October 2013.
Nirwandar said funding for these nine events will be provided by Marketing Directorate General of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
The cost is expected to be some Rp 607,700 billion for tourism promotion programs, improvement of Indonesia's image, and market and information development on Indonesia. The state budget has allocated Rp2,052 trillion for the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy in 2013. (*/DWA/T007)
