Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Mari Pangestu has launched the
Hallo Sultra program in her latest bid to promote Southeast Sulawesi's
tourism.
“This is to celebrate Southeast Sulawesi’s 50th anniversary on April
27, 2014. There will be big events in Kendari, and some activities will
kick off on April 21,” Mari said on Friday.
Mari said Southeast Sulawesi has exceptional tourism potentials, such
as diving, culture, and history. “I’ve dived in Buton and Wakatobi.
They were amazing,” Mari said.
He added among the tourism potentials in Buton and Wakatobi were
Buton Fort from the Buton Sultanate, gold and silver, world-class diving
in Wakatobi, culinary, and weaving.
According to Southeast Sulawesi Governor Nur Alam, the province could
become the future of Indonesia’s tourism. “The eastern region is
showing off its cultural uniqueness,” he said.
He added that activities involving locals would be organized from
April 21 to the peak of the event on April 27. “And a meeting between
representatives of national cultures from the 34 provinces in
Indonesia,” he said.
Nur Alam said the province’s tourism sector was on the rise as some
tourism spots had become even more famous, such as Muna Island with its
horse fights and the Lambusango natural tourism, in which the US was
currently studying one of its bacteria.
“And silver and gold industries
that have been preserved well since the colonial era,” said Nur Alam.
