With the recent conclusion of 2012, Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy is confident to surpass the targeted eight million international visitors set for 2012.
This year, 2013, is set to be an even better year for Indonesia's tourism with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy targeting between 8.5 million to nine million international visitors; a 7% to 12.5% increase from 2012. Indonesia will be under the spotlight this year with the hosting of a string of international events such as the APEC Summit, WTO Ministerial Meeting and Miss World Pageant. These events are expected to be a strong catalyst for the expected surge of international arrivals to the country. Further boost will be expected from the cruise sectors as cruise ships will be covering some 115 locations in Indonesia including new destinations such as Sabang in Aceh, Belawan in North Sumatra; compared to covering only 70 locations in 2012. 306 cruise calls have been confirmed for 2013, a 43% increase from 2012, bringing about a record 146,000 passengers, a 28% increase from 2012, around the largest archipelago in world.
In light of such unprecedented growth in the fourth most populous country in the world, HVS is proud to present the inaugural Indonesia Hospitality & Tourism Investment Conference, IHT which will be held on the 7th - 8th May 2013 at The Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place Jakarta. The event is co-hosted with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
Be there. Be seen. Be where the action is. Be on a journey to experience exponential growth and success.
