The Indonesian booth was arranged to showcase typical Indonesian accessories such as Bali umbrellas, batik, wayang (shadow puppets), dance masks, and a set of angklung (traditional musical instruments). Additionally, various promotional materials for Indonesian tourism, such as tourism brochures and information on featured Indonesian tourist destinations, were displayed.
Amidst the winter storm conditions in Chicago and extreme cold weather in January, the Consulate General of Indonesia in Chicago optimized CTAS by featuring Bespoke Travel and Tour, a travel agency from Yogyakarta.
In two days of the exhibition, they successfully attracted 70 potential buyers, received several tour package orders, and explored potential B2B collaborations expected to be sustainable.
The Consulate General of Indonesia in Chicago also utilised CTAS as a networking event and received collaboration offers from local media, travel bloggers, photographers, and tourism-related TV channels. (WHY)
