Training and Coaching ‘Visit My Borneo’ – Roadshow Key Success Factors
The Sustainable Tourism Development project in Indonesia includes coaching of national tourism organizations (NTOs), Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) and business support organizations (BSOs) and/or public-private partnerships (PPPs) concerning the aspects of destination marketing, branding, and promotion.
As part of this project. we contributed to the Bali and Beyond Tourism UK Roadshow. It is a networking event focusing on the UK market, co-organized by EU partners. It was held in 4 major cities in the UK. At each event, a variety of tour operators and accommodation suppliers from Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Flores participated, along with several tourism boards. All of whom are looking to expand their UK business and form/extend partnerships with UK operators of all kinds. The afternoon sessions included face to face discussions about product needs and demands along with short presentations given by the tourism boards and other attending governmental offices.
