Recently we have the opportunity to being a sponsored buyer for the World Eco Tourism Forum held in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan by Ministry of Tourism and Culture Indonesia.
This forum brings together buyers and sellers from all over the world and Indonesia together in Banjarmasin. We have buyers from Malaysia (yours truly), Korea, Germany, and Holland. Sellers comes from all corners of Indonesia; Jawa, Sumatera,North and South Kalimantan, Flores, South Sulawesi as well as Bali.
We have the honor to be the State VIP and being welcome by the Bhuparti as well as hosted to state dinner by the Governor. Banjarmasin is basically a mining town which is slowly opening up to tourist in the field of nature as well as mining. Diamond and coal mining is the main economic contributors. Banjarmasin is one the few places you can find black diamond besides Africa ! Special tours can be arrange to visit this diamond mining side.
However Banjarmasin and the towns nearby also offer much. The nature retreat at Loksado for example is a hidden treasure to the nature lover.
Bamboo rafting down the Amandit river is an all new experience. Here is a short footage of the Bamboo rafting that we did in Loksado.
