Indonesia-Japan Festival to be Held in Osaka

Jakarta: The Indonesian Consulate General in Osaka (KJRI Osaka) and the Indonesian Tourism Ministry are set to hold Indonesia-Japan Festival in Osaka on October 5-6, 2019 in order to  promote Indonesia tourism to Japan.
 
"The Japanese tourist market has a great potential. Many countries are scrambling to enter it. We always try to do promotions in Japan at every opportunity," Tourism Minister's Deputy for International Marketing II Nia Niscaya said in a press release on Thursday, October 3, 2019.
 
The ministry will join Garuda Indonesia booth to collaborate in promotions to Japanese travelers. The booth will present various advantages of Indonesian tourism, such as super priority destinations and Batam Hot Deals program. M

The ministry will also display a variety of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) arts and culture. Various interesting souvenirs bearing the logo of Wonderful Indonesia will be prepared to pamper visitors.
 
“Hopefully this promotion will be able to support and increase the number of tourist visits in order to achieve the target of 20 million international tourists visits by 2019," Nia said.
 
This event is quite strategic and was able to bring 5,000 visitors from Osaka and surrounding areas last year. Throughout 2018, the number of Japanese tourists to Indonesia decreased by 7.52% compared to 2017. Japanese tourists generally spend 6 to 7 days. According to the 2016 Passenger Exit Survey (PES), they averaged USD 1,013 per visit.
 
This year, the ministry expects 720,000 visits from Japanese tourists. This event is one of the strategies to promote Indonesian tourism more massively in Japan. 
 
According to Turism Minister Arief Yahya, this event is a good opportunity to promote Indonesian tourism destinations to Japanese tourists. Arief Yahya hopes this event can increase the number of Japanese tourists in 2019, and in the end could increase economic benefits for various local tourism industry and stakeholders in Indonesia.
