According to S.D. Darmono, CEO and founder of PT. Jababeka Tbk, it gives serious attention to the sport of golf and the tourism sector. By choosing Magelang as the location of the match, he hopes the tournament participants can visit the Borobudur temple complex which is only about 30 kilometers from the tournament location. Borobudur Temple is known as the largest Buddhist temple in the world and is a protected site by UNESCO.
In addition to visiting Borobudur, the competitors can also visit other nearby tourist attractions such as Mendut Temple or Mount Merapi. "Events such as this are able to attract international tourists to this small town in Central Java," said Darmono at the President Lounge, Menara Batavia, Jakarta, this Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the organizing committee, Rully Lasahido of Jababeka Hospitality Management, said this tournament will become an annual event in Magelang. It will be held at Borobudur International Golf Club, which was chosen to boost the number of tourists who come to Magelang to enjoy the beauty of Borobudur and experience Javanese culture, for four days with a cash prize of US$ 60,000.
To support the event, OB Golf as the presenting sponsor contributes US$ 20,000. The magazine, explains Jimmy Masrin, reviews the sport of golf as well as lifestyle topics. Meanwhile the hotel in Magelang that supports the Borobudur Classic 2014 is Atria Hotel, which is managed by Parador Hotels & Resorts.
In closing Rully expressed his hope that next year even more competitors and sponsors will line up for this event, which would allow for even more attractive prizes.
