Lombok: another paradise in Indonesia

In early December 2013, I had a golden opportunity to arrange a sales trip to Lombok for approximately 100 top business performers and leaders of the bank I worked for. It turned out that the journey was more than just a trip. It was a discovery of a new paradise in Indonesia for me. It had expanded my view and perspective on the richness of Indonesia and re-enhanced my believe that tourism should be one of Indonesia's economic growth drivers. Generally, Lombok offers relatively similar experiences with Bali (the most famous tourism destination in Indonesia). Majority of the activities are around sun & sea, hang out at night and breathtaking scenery. The focal point of the acitivities is located in Senggigi area. Many 4-5 stars hotels have their presence there, such as Sheraton and Novotel. However, to date, Lombok is much less crowded than Bali. Therefore, it is a perfect place to uplift the life tension, let the heart takeover the mind, pour it into the uniqueness of nature
