FAIR 2008
 Majapahit
Travel Fair (MTF) has successfully become the most excellent platform
for networking and establishing business contacts in the province.
It is annually held with the main objective of providing business
opportunities for the travel and tourism industry to market East
Java's tourist attractions, hotels, natural surroundings and culture
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,
tourism photo exhibition and the actual Exhibition itself where
the sellers display their products and services. MTF this year
coincides with the Indonesian Government promotion "Visit
Indonesia Year 2008" expecting the target of 7 million
foreign visitors to Indonesia. MTF is not only the an international
tourism business forum but also becomes a significant promotion
event as the government invites international visitors to enjoy
a hundred attractive events all year round to celebrate 100 years
of National Awakening. This will give all delegates a chance to
not only discover the exciting tourism destinations, but also
truly experience the atmosphere and hospitality, East Java has
to offer. MTF 2008 will be held on May 21 -25 2008, at the Exhibition
Hall, Gramedia Expo Surabaya, and the Ballroom of Sheraton Hotel
Surabaya with the theme "Experiencing Festive Celebrations
of The Year".
This will be our 9th Annual MTF and promise to
be the most interactive than ever. MTF always achieves a great
success. Last year's participants amounted to 82 buyers (domestic
and overseas) and 59 sellers participating in the Table-Top Business
Meeting. The buyers were mainly from Malaysia, China, Singapore,
Siingapore and Hongkong.
The Travel Exchange is a closed business meeting
with a Table-Top format between Buyers and Sellers of the travel
and tourism industry. This one-day program is based on the appointment
schedule arranged by the MTF Organizing Committee. The buyers
taking part in this meeting are international and national tour
operators who are currently marketing East Java or Indonesia and
those who would like to obtain more information on our region
to start promoting our market. The sellers are mostly delegates
from East Java's tourism related industries with some delegates
also attending from other destinations in Indonesia.
The Exhibitors are travel operators and tourism
destination representatives from East Java and other destinations
in Indonesia. It is open for the public from May 21 - 25, 2008.
The Expo venue will be located at the Gramedia Expo, the newest
exhibition hall in the city.
At the Workshop, reputable tourism professionals
from Indonesia will share their experience and expertise with
an interactive audience. The Sellers, Exhibitors, Managers of
Tourist Attractions, Government Tourist Officials, dance companies,
conservators university students and the public will attend this
workshop. The workshop will feature qualified speakers on current
