Jakarta's Steps to Make Seribu Islands as a Destination for Digital NomadsJakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency Head Andhika Permata stated that as the center of business and the Indonesian Government, Jakarta has great potential for MICE tourism. With the existing MICE facilities and infrastructure, Jakarta was capable of competing as the main MICE destination in Indonesia and attracting domestic and foreign tourists.
"Participation at IMEX Frankfurt after 2 years of not being held can be the right momentum to kick off MICE tourism. Various buyers who have 'fasted' for 2 years can't wait to hold a MICE event. In addition, the online appointment system feature can make it easier for MICE industry partners who are facilitated to fill the Jakarta Government's booth to meet potential buyers," he conveyed as quoted from Jakarta PPID Press Release, Thursday (6/2).
The year 2022 is an important year for the Government from the MICE industry side by holding 2 major MICE events in the form of the Urban 20 Mayors Summit and the International Publishers Association World Congress.
Participation in IMEX Frankfurt 2022 could be an appropriate promotion and amplification platform for the two events to enhance Jakarta's image as a MICE destination that is capable of hosting international MICE events.
