A Message from
the Governor of East Java
East Java is proud to host the 12th Majapahit Travel Fair (MTF) in 2011. On behalf of
the Government and the people of East Java, I would like to extend a very warm
invitation to the travel professionals and tourism industries to participate in the annual
MTF being held from May 19 – 22, 2011 in Surabaya. The MTF is an excellent platform
for networking and establishing business contact. It has been attended by both
international and domestic buyers, a wide variety of sellers of East Java tourist
destinations, hotels, resorts and travel related services as well as industry policy
makers, academicians, tourism observers and the media.
This year, MTF is exclusively staged to highlight the program of Visit East Java
2011 and I would like to assure the delegates and visitors that East Java remains the
most splendid tourist destination worth visiting in Indonesia. The success of this event
will support the East Java Province to do its best to gear up the tourism industry as
this sector has a significant contribution to East Java Province.
While in East Java, do take the opportunity to discover and experience not only the
spectacular natural tourist attractions but also the unique blend of offers – from ethnic
cultures, exotic fruit and cuisine, colorful dances to nightlife, and you can meet the
different kinds of ethnics spread across the 38 Regencies. They are potentially
promoted and offered to other nations.
To comfort the visitors, East Java boasts its Juanda international airport having
larger area and accommodating more airlines than ever before. It also has direct flights
from and to other countries such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hongkong, Brunei
Darussalam and Taipei.
I am confident you will find that the Province of East Java is ready and committed to
the continuing development of the travel and tourism industry. I wish your participation in
MTF 2011 would greatly develop your business opportunities, have many business
clients and new friends from Indonesia, and achieve every success in your business
meetings and most enjoyable and fun stay here in East Java.
Therefore, once again on behalf of the government and the people of East Java, I
look forward to personally seeing you to the MTF 2012 in East Java.
Governor of East Java
Dr. H. SOEKARWO

About the Majapahit Travel Fair (MTF) 2011
Successfully held for eleven times in Surabaya, the Majapahit Travel Fair (MTF) has
become the most considerable gathering in the province. It is held annually with the main
objective of providing business opportunities for the travel and tourism industry to market
East Java’s tourist attractions, hotels, natural surroundings, and cultural heritage to both
domestic and international tour operators. The major activities of this event include a
“Table-Top Business Meeting” between the buyers and sellers (Travex), a half-day Workshop
and the actual Exhibition where the sellers and exhibitors display their products, facilities

MTF always achieves great success. The number of last year’s participants joining the
Table-Top Business Meeting grew significantly.
The Travel Exchange is a closed business meeting with a Table-Top format between
Buyers and Sellers of the travel and tourism industry. This one-day program is based on
the appointment schedule arranged by the MTF Organizing Committee. The buyers taking
part in this meeting are international and national tour operators who are currently
marketing East Java or Indonesia and those who would like to obtain more information on
our region to start promoting our market. The sellers are mostly delegates from East Java’s
tourism related industries with some delegates attending from other destinations in
Indonesia.
The Exhibitors are travel operators and tourism destination representatives from
East Java and other destinations in Indonesia. It is open for the public from May 19 - 22,
2011. The Expo venue will be located at the Exhibition Hall Grand City Convex, Jl. Gubeng
Pojok, Surabaya.

students and the public will attend this workshop convened at the Meeting Room, Grand
