INDONESIA’S MG Holiday will open an office in Beijing in October, the travel agent’s third in China after Shanghai and Shenzhen, to leverage on the growing demand for travel to Indonesia, particularly for MICE.
MG Holiday managing director Raymond said the move was part of plans to boost the company’s inbound traffic from China. “Beijing has big potential. In fact, we have seen growing volume from there”, he said. “Therefore, we deem it the right time to open an office in Beijing.”
Raymond said MG Holiday had been focusing its China efforts in the country’s south, with emphasis on leisure travel and Bali as the main destination, but was now looking to expand its portfolio to target the high-end segment.
“To enable this, we have partnered with an agent in China who handles the government, corporate and MICE market, and introduced Jakarta and other business cities like Medan and Surabaya,” he said.
