Tourism and
Culture Minister Jero Wacik says his ministry is now in the middle of preparing
an international yacht festival that will take place in Sabang Island, Aceh,
mid this month.
Dubbed the
International Regatta Festival, the event is expected to attract yacht owners
from the world over.
“So far, 26
yachts from Europe, Asia and Australia have registered to participate in the
event,” he said on Sunday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Jero Wacik
said the festival is a joint cooperation between Malaysia’s Langkawi tourism
resort and Thailand’s famous Phuket beach. He said the event will begin on
Sept. 13 in Phuket and then continue to Langkawi before wrapping up in Sabang.
He said the
end of the regatta would be marked with an event honoring Aceh’s tsunami victims.
