TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) provincial administration is preparing to hold an annual event to commemorate the second century of Mt Tambora's eruption. The NTB Governor, Muhammad Zainul Madji, has urged the Tourism Promotion Board of NTB (BPPD NTB) to make creative innovations to boost the numbers of visitors.
The commemoration event, called Tambora Greet the World, is targeted to attract two million visitors in 2015. The governor expected that the BPPD NTB will start to promote its programs worldwide, especially to the Middle East which is a new market for NTB tourism.
The BPPD NTB has only five months to roll its promotion programs since the process of forming new team members had taken up quite much of the time.
