MEET INJAKARTA

JAKARTA: a powerhouse of politics, business and commerce - representing 5 per cent of the total population of Indonesia - still maintains its charm as it matures to become a preferred destination for business events in addition to its primary role as ‘Ibu Kota’ or Mother City

Jakarta is a rich, vibrant and multidimensional urban city that promises an unforgettable experience

As one of the more prominent and progressive cities in Southeast Asia and the hub of ASEAN, Jakarta has impressive meeting credentials.

Indonesia is currently one of a few countries where the economy is thriving despite the global economic recession; the country now is spoken of as the next I in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) group of fast-growing economies.

Jakarta is a metropolitan city with reliable infrastructure that also offers a smorgasbord of exciting activities to enrich your experience.

There are obviously many attractive destinations across Asia Pacific but Jakarta stands out because of its unique and well-balanced mix of modernity and distinctive culture. Most importantly, the city caters to a wide range of demands. Whether you’re planning a fully-fledged convention or a more intimate corporate gathering, Jakarta will provide not only the appropriate venue and infrastructure but also the support system you need.

Jakarta and its surroundings are home to three state-of-the art convention and exhibition centres including Balai Sidang Jakarta Convention Center and Jakarta International Expo Center. Both centres boast first-class exhibition halls, conference and banquet rooms, massive parking areas, bonded warehouses, full catering and banquet facilities and advanced telecommunication systems.

Depending on the size of the event, a hotel ballroom may be a simpler, more convenient alternative in which to host delegates. There are more than 54 world-class hotels in Jakarta ranging from four to five star, all of them technically well equipped not to mention intensively service-oriented and offering value for money. Another world class exhibition and congress centre is being planned. This dedicated multi-purpose centre will offer 60,000 sqm exhibition space, an 18,000 plenary arena seating area, 6,000 sqm ballroom and 68 meeting rooms - ready to break the record!

Good service is another factor that distinguishes Jakarta from its rivals. Its people are generally adept and adaptable in any kind of situation, and always strive to ensure demands are met. The city’s Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs) and Professional Exhibitions Organisers (PEOs) are government licensed, guaranteeing a high level of commitment and professionalism. They are able to provide all the assistance necessary during the execution of an event.

Business aside, Jakarta has also earned the reputation of being one of the region’s hottest lifestyle cities with its infinite selection of hip and happening bars, clubs, restaurants and shopping centres. Its authentic local cuisine is internationally recognised and dining here will be a pleasure. Should you prefer to embark on a cultural excursion, Jakarta still retains its old colonial sites and architecture. And if you’re into art, you will love the vibrant art scene with gallery openings and art exhibitions happening on a regular basis.
