‘Sail Maluku’ Planned as Boost to Tourism

bunakenAs a follow-up to Sail Bunaken, the country will host Sail Maluku next year in a bid to create more international tourist destinations and promote the richness of the country’s maritime and fisheries activities, officials said on Monday.

Aji Sularso, director general of resource supervision at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, s aid Maluku was chosen as the site of the country’s next international maritime event because it had a good chance of becoming a tourism gateway for Australians and other residents of the region.

“We want to expand tourism destinations and create a new gateway to attract more people from Australia and other countries such as Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands,” Aji said.

“We want to let the world know that Maluku is rich in maritime and fisheries adventures.”

A day earlier, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Freddy Numberi said Sail Maluku 2010, expected to be held in the Banda Sea, would boost the local economy.
