RI'S STAND GETS TOURISM FAIR AWARD IN POLAND

Jakarta, Sept. 29 (ANTARA) - Indonesia's stand won an award for being the Most Original and Professional Fair Stand at an international travel show called Warsaw Tour and Travel (TT Warsaw), which was held from September 25 to 27, 2008.

Indonesia's stand at the largest tourism fair in East Europe, was coordinated by the Indonesian culture and tourism ministry in cooperation with the Indonesian embassy in Warsaw, Indonesian Ambassador to Poland Hazairin Pohan said in a press statement received by ANTARA on Monday.
The jury at the tourism fair consisted of several Polish journalists from the print and electronic media, the ambassador said.
The award was presented to Ambassador Pohan at a gala dinner on Friday evening (Sept. 26), which was attended among others by Polish Deputy Minster of Sports and Tourism Katarzyna Sobierajska.
Indonesia, which is launching the Visit Indonesia Year 2008, was a partner country at the Warsaw Tour and Travel fair.
With the status of a partner country, Ambassador Pohan was given an honor to deliver a speech at the opening ceremony and held a special press conference and presentation on Indonesian tourism under a theme of "Indonesia: the Emeral of the East."
Last year, Indonesia won three awards, respectively for the Best and Most Exotic Stand category at the International Silesian Tour held at Katowice in April, the Best Presentation on Tourism and Cultural Values at a tourism international expo held in Opole in May, and the Most Original and Professional Fair Stand at the 15th International Tourism Fair of TT Warsaw Tour and Travel 2007.
"The victory of Indonesia's stand this time is significant because we came out as the only country winning the highest award at the largest international tourism exhibition in East Europe, despite the presence of main players in Europe, such as Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Russia, Grace, and Turkey, which all have performed all-out," the ambassador said.
Indonesia's stand in the TT Warsaw 2008 was a favorite of visitors as it presented various Indonesian traditional food, dances and traditional music performances.
