Surabaya is chosen to be the host
for 2014 Asian Fashion Week in Ciputra World Surabaya on August 15 to 16, 2014.
President and CEO of Fashion Week Group, Arwin Sharma, in Surabaya, Monday,
said that previously the venue for this event had been choosen in Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia. But due to the complaints of Asian and International fashion
designers involving the lack of certain things, therefore, the venue was moved
to Surabaya.
"Asian and international
fashion designers have conveyed their complaints concerning the high cost, the
length of time travel and flight availabilities to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia,"
said Arwin. He regrets to say that he must relocate the country host, but he is
sure that Indonesia, espacially Surabaya, is the right choice.
"Surabaya itself is not inferior to other
cities. As the second largest city in Indonesia with a high capital income. And
then Surabaya have Bungkul Park, its the best park in all of Southeast Asia and
it is suitable to become the venue.
"This
event is one in a series of events from the Group Fashion Weeks which also
consist of Indian Ocean Fashion Week and Silk Road Fashion Week, World Islamic
Fashion Week and World Indigenous Fahion Week," he said.
The purpose is to advance and integrate global
fashion industry in several countries and to build international fashion
business. The Asian Fashion Week is participated by almost every country in
Asia and several from Europe.

The Tourism
City of Ternate
Wednesday, 14 May, 2014 | 10:54 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The central government, through
the ministries of tourism and creative economy, education and culture, and
public works, has planned to design Ternate as a tourism city in Indonesia, as
cited by Antara News.
"The
central governments commitment to turning Ternate into a tourism city is proven
through the allocation of funds in significant amounts to revitalize Fort
Oranje in the city center," Mayor Burhan Abdurrahman stated.
Burhan
pointed out that as a historical city, Ternate has a variety of excellence in
the field of tourism, and thus, the city administration is committed to making
tourism as one of the leading sectors in North Maluku province.
According to
the mayor, the central government has fully supported the Ternate city
administrations efforts to develop the tourism sector, particularly in the city
and generally in the province.
Therefore,
he noted that the funds obtained from the central government will be spent on
the revitalization of Fort Oranje, built by the Dutch in 1607.
He noted
that the revitalization of Fort Oranje was part of the local administrations
efforts to design Ternate as a tourism city in North Maluku.
"Ternate
is also part of the Indonesian Heritage Cities Network (JKPI) and therefore
various efforts to optimize the tourism potential in the city should be
supported by all parties," Burhan pointed out

Rupiah on
Steady Downtrend
Thursday, 22 May, 2014 | 14:54 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The market's disappointment
over political parties' coalition ahead of the presidential elections has sank
the rupiah deeper. In yesterday's money market transaction, the rupiah fell 19
points (0.16 percent) to Rp11,508 per US dollar, marking a three-day downtrend
with a correction of more than 100 basis points (bps).
Bank
International Indonesia (BII) economist Juniman said investors were left
dissatisfied with yesterday's results of presidential and vice presidential
candidates' coalition. "It led to profit taking in rupiah-denominated
assets, from stocks to bonds markets."
Golkar's
sudden decision to move closer to the Prabowo-Hatta pair caused imbalance in
the parliament's coalition support. The coalition of parties supporting
Prabowo-Hatta has 292 seats in parliament, while the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla
pair only managed to grab 207 seats.
Golkar's
decision was responded negatively by the market; not because investors favor
Jokowi, but because the strong support for Prabowo in the DPR will make the
administration rate ineffective—even if Jokowi becomes president. "Ever
since Golkar officially announced its support for Prabowo, stock prices and the
rupiah rate have fallen," said Juniman.
Today the
rupiah is expected to remain weak, moving between Rp11,450 and Rp11,550 per US
dollar. "The fading sentiment from the elections will prompt the market to
be cautious and take the safe position," said Juniman.
