Travel to indonesia while enjoying it more with Accor Hotels

Indonesia's thoughts give a feeling of pristine waters surrounding lush green islands with travellers surfing, adrenalin rush, cool breeze and energy. This feels so dreamy. I always love dreaming about a destination like Indonesia. I had gone to a conference organized by OM Tourism for Indonesia at Delhi, hotel Pullman. Although I have visited Indonesia once, but realized there is so much more to do there through the presentation. Below I have described what I learnt.

Why travel to Indonesia

Indonesia is a chosen destination these days as there is a lot of similarity between Indian and Indonesian culture. I myself witnessed Indonesian version of Ramayana in Ubud. It has affordable luxury stays.

There are two types of seasons in Indonesia - Summer and rainy, 700+ dialects, 300+ tribes. Indonesia is now promoting many more of its places.

1. Bandung, capital of West Java has a strato volcano Tangkuban Perah which is a famous tourist site for hot water springs and boiling mud. It is also a  MICE destination.

2. Bintan, Yogyakarta, Lombok for MICE, shopping, tradition and culture.

3. Gilli is an island which has no motorised vehicles. Entire Gilli can be covered in 45 minutes by bicycle or bagghi ride.

4. Mt. kelimutu a volcanic mountain in Flores . Flores is also famous for Dragons.

5. Macassar- Bantimurung National Park is famous for butterflies, theme park, rides, cultural dance and performance. Toraja is a tribe that lives in their natural habitat.

Experience at Xiao Chi

Dim lights with rustic furniture makes the overall ambience of the restaurant very soothing. Its a fine dining set up.
