据《雅加达邮报》10月9日报道，营销大师菲利普·科特勒已经正式被选为精彩印尼大使,世卫组织将支持群岛旅游品牌走向世界。

Marketing guru Philip Kotler has been officially chosen as Wonderful Indonesia Ambassador, who will endorse the archipelago's tourism brand to the world.

According to City Council secretary Muhammad Yuliadi, the proposal was a direct request from Council members to ease their duties when working outside the office, such as when they have a meeting with their constituents.

"There is a request from [the Council members] regarding the availability of laptops when they are working outside [the DPRD building]," said Yuliadi on Thursday as quoted by kompas.com.

"On behalf of the Indonesian government, I appreciate your hard efforts to promote Indonesia as a tourism destination, especially in promoting Komodo Island in Chicago," said Arief in Jakarta as quoted by Antara news agency.

Arief also requested Kotler promote the Wonderful Indonesia brand as he spoke in global conferences and when visiting other countries. (kes)(++++)
