Singapore, (IINA) - Indonesia has launched a new interactive visitor guide as part of a major campaign to position itself as a key leading destination for Muslim tourists, TODAYonline news reported.
The Muslim visitor guide, which was released earlier today, has been created as part of a long-term campaign by tourism officials to diversify their visitor arrivals to Indonesia which has more than 17,000 islands in its archipelago.
Called Many Lands. Timeless culture. One journey, the guide aims to highlight Indonesia’s rich and diverse culture by referencing the best experiences, shopping, dining and even prayer facilities across the country. The 70-page guide was compiled by the ministry of tourism of Indonesia and leading online travel platform HalalTrip; and is available in English and Arabic.
It also comes in both a printed version and as well as a free downloadable e-book.
Indonesia’s Tourism Minister Arief Yahya said: “We want to assure the comfort of these travellers by providing information about various tourism products and services in many destinations in Indonesia, which comply with their needs and expectations to enhance their holiday experiences.”
Each section in the new Muslim visitor guide provides information on attractions and experiences across the country, and highlights the best halal dining experiences in that region, as well as hotel accommodation, places to pray and mosques.
Fazal Bahardeen, CEO of HalalTrip, said: “Indonesia is one of the most vibrant and diverse countries in the world with an amazing offering for Muslim travellers full of culture and vibrant energy.”
The Muslim travel market is now widely recognized as a key growth tourism sector projected to be worth US$200 billion (S$281 billion) by 2020.
