FAIR 2009

Successfully held for nine times in Surabaya, the Majapahit Travel Fair
(MTF) has become the most important gathering in the province. It is held
annually with the main objective of providing business opportunities for
the travel and tourism industry to market East Java's tourist attractions,
hotels, natural surroundings, culture and creative industry to both
domestic and international tour operators. The major activities of this
event include a "Table-Top Business Meeting" between the buyers and
sellers (Travex), a half-day Workshop and the actual Exhibition itself
where the sellers and exhibitors display their facilities and services. We
still retain the date of MTF this year to coincide with the celebration of
Surabaya's 716th anniversary which is welcomed with the program of
Surabaya Big Sale. This will give all delegates a chance to not only
discover the exciting tourism destinations in East Java, but also truly
experience the atmosphere and hospitality Surabaya has to offer. MTF 2009
will be held on May 22 -26, at the Sheraton Hotel and Gramedia Expo,
Surabaya, with the theme "Partnering for Creative Industry". In addition,

This will be our 10th annual MTF and promise to be the most beneficial
