pertama:

Aussies not happy with RI visa policy

Bali Hotels Association (BHA) hosted a marketing seminar for its
members at Conrad Bali Resort and Spa last weekend.

The one-day seminar focused on distribution channels for travel
purchases, increased competitive markets between Bali and Australia.
The meeting also touched on pricing and value-added strategies.

The seminar concluded that the number of Australians coming to Bali is
sharply increasing but many of them are uncomfortable with Indonesia's
visa-on-arrival process. This, the seminar emphasized will likely
encourage travel destination choices beyond Bali, especially in the
highly competitive travel environment.

The association currently has 63 members comprising general managers
of star hotels, resorts in Bali. A number of directors of sales and
marketing as well as public relations managers also attended the event.

The seminar presented a number of prominent speakers including Ian
Norris, owner of San Michele Travel in Australia, Craig Sinclair,
publisher and Partner in Travel Talk Media Group in Australia and
other noted presenters.

According to Norris, 99 percent of Australian departures to Indonesia
(or around 265,000), in 2004, were destined to Bali. He said that
Indonesia was the second-most visited destination for Australians
after New Zealand.

He added that the number of Australians visiting Indonesia reached 17
percent of the country's international departures. In 2002, the number
of Australians holidaying in Bali sharply declined because of the
Oct.12.bombing tragedy.

Norris suggested a jointly driven marketing campaign between Australia
and Bali to further boost and secure business opportunities. For
consistency and recognition, he recommended "branding" Bali with a new
moniker which could be used by wholesalers, retailers and products
themselves, in marketing and promotions.

Craig Sinclair of Travel Talk Media Group explained about the
posititioning products in the Australian market and how Australians
view Bali. He noted that pre 2002 stereotypes of Bali changed
post-Bali bomb with the destination ripe for rediscovery.

He said Australians thought of Bali as a safe destination and now view
it as a leading gateway and a part of Asia.

Sinclair suggested there is more opportunity to promote varied
products and higher-end accommodation, as Bali isdestination"
providing the "equivalent quality of what you can buy in Sydney." Bali
is not just cheap T-Shirts and cheap beer anymore, he said.

The Association's chairman Robert Kelsall commented," This was a high
level information exchange on trends, perceptions, opportunities and
developments in tourism businesses between Australia and Bali."
Kelsall added that as an information exchange, it provided valuable
feedback for participating partners. -- JP

Australian troops prepare to leave tsunami wracked Aceh province

BANDA ACEH, Aceh (AP): Australia's military will end its tsunami
relief efforts in hardest-hit Aceh province by March 26, holding to an
Indonesian government timetable for withdrawal of foreigntroops
lending aid to the battered region, the force commander said on Thursday.

About 1,000 Australian soldiers have been flying relief operations,
treating sick patients, cleaning up muddy streets and providing clean
water to tsunami survivors since the week after the giant waves hit on
Dec. 26, killing more that 123,000 people in Aceh and leaving another
400,000 homeless.

They were among troops from more than a dozen nations, including some
15,000 from the United States, that helped in the immediate aftermath
of the disaster.

"We have done what we came to do and our task force is preparing to
return to Australia," Brig. David Chalmers, the commander of the
Australian task force in Aceh, told reporters in the provincial
capital, Banda Aceh. "We have reached a point where military
assistance is no longer necessary."

Chalmers also said he was hopeful the cooperation with Indonesian
forces in Aceh would bolster overall military-to-military relations. (**)
