To increase the tourism business and the revenue, Indonesia is looking to make the Asia’s largest diving expo successful which is slated for April 6 to 8 in Singapore.
This festival is the torch bearer to make the diving and marine-related tourism successful.
The Deputy Tourism Minister for International Marketing I Gde Pitana said on Asia Dive Expo, that this festival is an excellent and qualified annual diving event to expand their network as well as to offer the diving and marine-related tour packages in their respective areas.
The 24 national diving operators engaged to the 2018 ADEX are from 7 provinces hosting prominent diving sites, comprised of North Sulawesi, Central Java, Papua, East Nusa Tenggara, East Kalimtan, Bali and Maluku.
Besides selling tour packages, the Indonesian exhibit would showcase and provide information on Live Aboard tourism, diving and other marine-related tourism in the country.
Indonesia would also use the opportunity to promote the nation’s tourism agendas throughout the year, including the 2018 Asian Games sports event slated for August 18 to September 2 in Jakarta and Palembang.
Indonesia Tourism Minister Arief Yahya was optimistic to get significant benefits from the 2018 ADEX, given the extensive flight access and cultural and geographical closeness between Indonesia and Singapore.
