Indonesia ikut dua ajang UN Tourism perkenalkan desa wisata pada dunia
Indonesia has once again showcased its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty on the global stage, as it participated in two prestigious United Nations tourism events to promote its concept of village tourism to the world.
The first event, the 2021 UNWTO General Assembly, took place in Madrid, Spain, from November 30 to December 3. The General Assembly brought together tourism ministers and officials from around the world to discuss and collaborate on the future of the tourism industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Indonesia used this platform to highlight its village tourism program, which aims to empower local communities and preserve traditional ways of life by promoting sustainable tourism practices. Through village tourism, visitors can experience authentic cultural experiences, support local economies, and contribute to the preservation of Indonesia’s diverse cultural heritage.
The second event, the 2021 UNWTO World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism, was held in Istanbul, Turkey, from December 2 to 4. This forum focused on the intersection of gastronomy and tourism, highlighting the importance of food as a cultural and economic driver for tourism destinations.
Indonesia seized the opportunity to showcase its unique culinary traditions and promote its diverse culinary offerings to a global audience. Indonesian cuisine is known for its bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and rich culinary heritage, making it a major draw for food-loving travelers from around the world.
By participating in these two UN tourism events, Indonesia has once again demonstrated its commitment to sustainable tourism practices, cultural preservation, and economic development through tourism. The country’s village tourism program and culinary offerings have the potential to attract a new wave of travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences and unique culinary adventures.
As Indonesia continues to position itself as a leading tourism destination in the Asia-Pacific region, its participation in international events like the UNWTO General Assembly and World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism will play a crucial role in raising awareness and attracting visitors to its vibrant and diverse destinations. With its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and warm hospitality, Indonesia is poised to become a must-visit destination for travelers looking to explore the world’s hidden gems.
