CIDISS. Every sport event always has an impact on the city of its organizer. No exception is the 2018 Asian Para Games which took place in Indonesia. Indonesia is preparing to host the second largest disability sports party in the world.

Chairman of the Asian Para Games Organizing Committee (INAPGOC) 2018, Raja Sapta Oktohari said, his party was focusing on preparing the performance.

Raja Sapta said, currently is focusing on work that is very competitive with time. Considering our working time is only one month after the 2018 Asian Games.

Raja added that his party is also trying so that the later holding of the 2018 Asian Para Games can have a positive impact on Indonesia. What is certain is that the goal is to provide successful implementation, administration and legacy of humanity. Because, participants from the 2018 Asian Para Games were only attended by 3,000 athletes and officials from 42 countries.

To Moneysmart.id, Ikhsan said, but the impact on tourism specifically for the Jakarta and Bogor regions was good enough as a momentum to promote tourism places. Like Dufan, Taman Mini, Ragunan, Monas, Old City, Mekarsari Fruit Park, in addition to Mall in Indonesia.

In addition, Ikhsan said, economic and tourism impacts could be very significant depending on INAPGOC to make itarararies or tourist destinations to athletes and officials from participating countries. Local audiences can also be used for culinary snacks and souvenirs.

The Chairperson of the Association of the Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA) Asnawi Bahar said the holding of the 2018 Asian Para Games would have an impact on increasing the number of foreign tourists. However, the tourists are more to athletic delegates and officials from 2018 Asian Para Games participating countries.

Asnawi revealed that if the foreign exchange potential of the 2018 Asian Para Games (fees) had been borne by their respective countries, certainly their foreign exchange potential was not too large, there were not too many participants.

In addition, an increase in foreign tourists can also be caused by an international event namely the IMF World Bank meeting in Bali this October. This will help each other but it is optimistic that there will be additional tourists.

We hope that the 2018 Asian Para Games will provide the greatest benefits, especially the city of the organizer. This event is expected to become a momentum for Indonesia to be visited by tourists from various countries. Tourism is a quick effort to improve the economy especially to increase foreign exchange supply.
