As part of ASEAN’s 50th anniversary celebrations, Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and ASTINDO earlier this week organised a gala dinner at Hotel Borobudur in Jakarta, which was attended by key tourism and industry figures in Indonesia, representatives from ASEAN countries and buyers from around the world.
The event was also a showcase of ASEAN’s tourism diversity and solidarity, as regional carriers Garuda Indonesia, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Philippine Airlines, Royal Brunei Airlines and AirAsia collaborated to bring around 100 buyers from around 12 countries on an ASEAN fam trip, visiting the airlines’ respective countries and Indonesia. The following day, these buyers attended the Indonesia Travel Mart, hosted by Indonesia Tourism Business Association, before departing for various parts of Indonesia.
