Familiarisation Trip 2026: Promoting wonderful Indonesia through Yogyakarta’s cultural heritage and tourism experiences
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Vientiane, in cooperation with the Tourism Department of the Provincial Government of Yogyakarta and the Association of the Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA) facilitated the “Familiarisation Trip (Famtrip) 2026: Journey to Wonderful Jogja”.
The programme brought together seven participants from three countries – two from Laos, four from China, and one from Pakistan – who travelled to Yogyakarta during October 22-26.
The Lao participants were renowned travel influencers Sammy Go and Mini Trips, who are expected to help introduce Yogyakarta’s tourism attractions and cultural experiences to Lao audiences through their social media accounts.
Their participation reflected the growing importance of digital content creators in promoting Indonesia’s destinations and inspiring international travellers to discover the Southeast Asian country.
Yogyakarta, popularly known as Jogja, is a special region in central Java, Indonesia, which is celebrated for its rich Javanese culture, royal traditions and historical landmarks. Home to the iconic Borobudur Buddhist Temple and Prambanan Hindu Temple, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Yogyakarta offers a unique combination of history, traditional arts, batik craftsmanship, local cuisine and natural landscapes.
Throughout the five-day programme, the participants explored a variety of destinations showcasing Yogyakarta’s natural beauty, historical landmarks, living traditions and creative industries.
