Indonesia launches programme to promote tourism with Iran

The initiative aims to strengthen tourism ties between the countries

The Indonesian government, in cooperation with the Indonesian Embassy in Tehran and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, has launched a programme called “Familiarisation Trip” (“Famtrip”). The initiative aims to strengthen tourism ties and promote Indonesia's iconic destinations.

The programme invited nine Iranian travel agents and operators to travel to Lombok and Bali. This is reported by Tehran Times, a partner of TV BRICS.

The objectives of this initiative are threefold: first, to introduce key industry representatives to these areas, especially Lombok, which is less well-known in the Iranian market compared to Bali; second, to provide interaction between Iranian agents and local participants through networking events; and third, to identify the potential for development and major obstacles in tourism between the two countries.

Famtrip is in line with the MoU between Indonesia and Iran on culture exchange programs for 2023-2025.

Through this programme, the Embassy and the Ministry of Tourism hope to significantly increase the number of tourists from Iran in the coming years.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"
