Six Fijian participants were given the opportunity to visit Indonesia for a familiarization trip.

The aim of the trip was to promote their brand Wonderful Indonesia and also have a taste of their local culture and traditions.

Indonesia’s Tourism Ministry aims for an MOU with Fiji to better promote their country.

Policy Analytic for Marketing Development – Oceania, Hafiansyah Mege says a lot can be done to promote Indonesia as there is variety of things to explore.

If your country likes adventure or beaches or culture we have many destinations that can be offered to Fijians such as Jakarta.

Mege adds they are trying to attract more tourists from Fiji.

We try to gather information about the events. Not only tourism events but national events in your country where we can have our booth to strengthen our brand Wonderful Indonesia.
