COMPARATIVE COSTS

The USP of travelling to Indonesia is that one can experience all activities, be it adventure, nightlife, casinos, pristine beaches or the tropical climate, in a single trip. It is also equipped to handle the needs of MiCE events such as easy connectivity, free visa on arrival, availability of Indian food, and affordable experiences. It is always desirable to conduct an event in a new overseas destination rather than a destination back home when the cost of the event in both the places is the same.

INITIATIVES & INDONESIA

The Indonesian government has set up a number of strategic initiatives for its improvement and promotion

as a MiCE destination, including continuous support in the development of new MiCE venues. The Ministry is also focusing on promoting 10 new tourist destinations as the ‘new Bali', through the diving havens of Wakatobi in South Sulawesi, Morotai in Maluku, Labuan Bajo in East Nusa Tenggara, Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara, Tanjung Kelayang in Bangka Belitung, the beach enclaves of Tanjung Lesung in Banten, Thousand Islands in Jakarta, as well as the UNESCO heritage site of Borobudur Temple.
