LOMBOK OPENS THE DOOR
    The Government of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, has just announced its first major event to promote tourism in the region, the LOMBOK TRAVEL MART 1999. This event will run from Sept 26 to Sept 29, and will be the fulfillment of a priority plan begun in 1998 to make tourism a major source of income.
    The international as well as domestic potential of Lombok will be highlighted, with a focus on Lombok’s multi-layered attractions - a rich mix of cultural, artistic, sport and adventure activities. In Lombok it is possible to experience all of these without the hard sell, hard push, and crowds of other better-known destinations.
    At LOMBOK TRAVEL MART 1999 buyers and travel operators in the tourism industry from around the world are being invited to see and experience for themselves what Lombok has to offer.
    They will see a destination that virtually sells itself - spectacular mountains, beachside getaways, and a rich underwater world - all coloured by the mystique and allure of the east, which has all but disappeared elsewhere. Visitors to the event will be shown a destination with a second-to-none marketing potential.
    It is said that location is everything, and Lombok is perfectly positioned: Singapore and Jakarta are only a two-hour flight away, and Bali - well Bali is on Lombok’s doorstep - only a twenty minute flight.
    As Governor of Lombok, Harun Al Rasyid, says: “Lombok has at last realised that it cannot continue to remain dependant on the overflow from other Indonesian tourist destinations. Lombok now can be proud of its ability to present itself to the world. Finally with LOMBOK TRAVEL MART 1999, Lombok opens the door.”

HOLIDAY INN RESORT LOMBOK
The Holiday Inn Resort Lombok has appointed Ricard Mehr as Food and Beverages Director and Timmy Hoevenagel as Director of Sales and Marketing.
    Ricard joins the hotel from the upmarket Boathouse in Phuket Thailand. Timmy, returning to his beloved island of Lombok, is well known in the industry for having worked for many years with Satriavi.

WELCOME TO LOMBOK’S CYBER INFORMATION
    PT SIMPEL MEMORI SISTEM, a computer company in Bali, has expanded their business to Lombok.
    For the first step, they will set up a ‘ KIOSK INFORMATION’ terminal at Selampang Airport as an innovative development in tourism information services in Lombok.
    ‘THE KIOSK INFORMATION’ will make it easy for tourists to get the information they need about tourism, and will include guides to destinations, accommodation, restaurants, a calendar of events, and reservation bookings.
    In line with their motto “MAKE IT SIMPLE”, this equipment is very easy to use and flexible, and should be no more difficult than using an ATM machine.
