Bali Beyond And Travel Fair Attracts Australian Travel Agents

Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The Bali Beyond and Travel Fair (BBTF) 2016 has lured several Australian travel operators to participate and obtain firsthand information on travel products to be offered during the event.

"We continue to expand the Australian market segment, although it has existed since a long time," Chairman of the BBTF Organizing Committee Ketut Ardana stated here, Wednesday.

Australian travel agents, including those of the platinum agent category, have brought several tourists to Bali and Indonesia in general, he pointed out.

A platinum travel operator could contribute to more than 10 thousand foreign tourists annually, he affirmed.

Venture Holidays is among the Australian travel operators that will participate in the travel fair.

Ardana noted that Venture Holidays` Director Ian Garrit had written to express his interest to attend the fair.

He quoted Garrit as saying that he would not only sign contracts with the existing buyers for the period between April 1, 2017, and March 31, 2018, but would also look for new products to be offered in the fair for the coming years.

The BBTF is viewed as being an efficient platform since travel buyers and sellers will be able to meet during a single event that will display tourism-related services such as hotels, resorts, new and rare destinations, and travel bureaus.

The event will be organized at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), Badung District, Bali, on June 22-26 this year. (WDY)
