Indonesia dominated PATA Mart Bangalore final day

PATA Mart 2016 will be held in Jakarta.

PATA Mart 2016 will be held in Jakarta. Indonesia mounted an impressive show on September 8 at the PATA Mart in Bangalore, India, as the next host nation for the 2016 PATA Mart planned for September 7-9, 2016.

Culture and cuisine were in focus at the welcome reception dinnner at the Taj Vivanta hotel in Bangalore, where the top brass invited all to come to Jakarta for the event next year.

The dancers and musicians regaled the appreciative audience with vibrant colors, sounds and food.

Earlier, Indonesian Minister Yahya addressed the media, listing the attractions of the country and inviting the delegates to mark their dates for the Jakarta event next year.

The good news was that soon Indians may no longer require visas to enter Indonesia, as the next batch of countries for this facility is to be announced later this year or early next year.

The other good news is that the long-awaited direct flights between the two countries may become a reality soon. No specific date or airline was named.

Miss India Indonesia had been especially flown in for the invitation dinner, as were the artists.
