Jakarta to host first-ever Wonderful Indonesia Tourism Fair
The event is slated for October of this year
Jakarta welcomes travel professionals from around the world this October as it hosts the country’s first-ever business-to-business (B2B) tourism event, the Wonderful Indonesia Tourism Fair (WITF), from 2 to 4 October 2024.
The fair will be staged at Swissotel Jakarta PIK Avenue, a strategic location as it is in Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) which is currently being touted as a major urban tourist destination.
Also, PIK offers easy access from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, and is home to extensive businesses, entertainment, and event facilities.
WITF will be held simultaneously with the Southeast Asia Business Event Forum (SEABEFF) which is centred on the MICE sector.
Who’s behind the event?
WITF 2024 is entirely self-funded and owned by the Indonesian Tourism Industry Association (GIPI) with support and endorsement from the country’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
The event also banks upon GIPI’s current network which includes nearly 40 domestic tourism sector organisations, as well as local government officials, and a slew of travel-related enterprises.
Invitees to the event will be determined by a nine-member committee made up of industry veterans who will opt for participants playing an active role in promoting Southeast Asian destinations, particularly those in Indonesia.
