Wednesday, September 18, 2024 The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (MoTCE) of the Republic of Indonesia, in partnership with the Badung Regency Government of Bali and key players in Indonesia’s tourism industry, is organizing a Tourism Sales Mission across the South Asia region from 9-18 September 2024. This ambitious tourism roadshow will visit four prominent Indian cities—Bangalore, Chennai, New Delhi, and Jaipur—before concluding in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. The roadshow aims to solidify Indonesia’s position as a preferred destination for South Asian travelers by showcasing the country’s vibrant tourism offerings.
This collaborative effort between MoTCE, Badung Regency Government, and Indonesia’s tourism stakeholders seeks to reinforce the country’s appeal as a top travel destination in the minds of South Asian tourists, particularly those from India and Nepal. The cities included in the tour were carefully selected based on their growing interest in Indonesia as a travel destination. New Delhi and Bangalore, in particular, were chosen due to the availability of direct flights to Bali, making them strategic hubs for future tourist growth.
Meanwhile, Chennai, Jaipur, and Kathmandu were identified as emerging markets that have demonstrated promising trends in outbound travel to Indonesia.
