"Sail Indonesia organizing committee will sponsor the voting for Komodo by preparing supporting facilities for the sail`s participants who will support the world`s giant lizard as one the New7Wonders finalists," Yayasan Cinta Bahari Nusantara chairman Raymond Lesmana said here on Tuesday.
He made the statement in relation to the momentum of Sail Indonesia 2011 and its input for Komodo as one of the New7Wonder finalists.
"Besides in Kupang, all people of other districts in East Nusa Tenggara should make every effort to direct the Sail Indonesia participants to visit Komodo National Park," Raymond said.
According to him, around 120 yachts from at least 20 countries which participate in Sail Indonesia 2011 will arrive in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) provincial city of Kupang on June 11.
Reimond said Kupang would be the entry point of the sail`s participants before sailing on to Alor, Lembata, Maumere, Ende, Rote Ndao, Sabu, Sumba Timur, Riung, Sumba Tengah, and Labuan Bajo.
"The important event should be optimized to promote future tourism potentials in the province," Raymond said. (*)
