about Majapahit Travel Fair 2007
Successfully held for seven times in Surabaya, the Majapahit Travel Fair (MTF) has become a small but 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 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 and the actual Exhibition itself where the sellers display their facilities and services. We still retain the date of MTF this year to coincide with the celebration of Surabaya’s 714th anniversary which is welcomed with the program of Surabaya Big Sale. This will give all of the 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 2007 will be held on May 23 -27, at the Convention Hall, Tunjungan Plaza III, 6th floor Surabaya, with the theme ”The Country’s Beauty and Uniqueness. In addition, East Javanese Traditional Dance & Song Festivals and breaking record of MURI (Indonesia Guiness Book) Appreciation Certificate by presenting a Giant Brem Traditional Food will also be held to support the theme, even to dig up cultural values to create marketable cultural attractions.
This will be our 8th Annual MTF and promise to be the most interactive than ever. MTF always achieves great success. Last year’s participants amounted to 110 buyers (domestic and overseas) and 85 sellers participating in the Table-Top Business Meeting. The buyers were mainly from other Asian countries and dominated by Malaysia and China.
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 23 - 27, 2007. The Expo venue will be located at the Convention Hall on the 6th floor in one of Surabaya’s large malls, Tunjungan Plaza III (next to the Sheraton Surabaya Hotel).
