Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata Bandung (Bandung Institute of Tourism) was founded in 1962. Swiss Government, as our technical assistance back in 1973-1982 introduced Competency Based Education and Competency Based Assessment. Since then, our campus became the leading and the finest hotel school in Indonesia.

Located in highland of Bandung, 130 kilometers from Jakarta, Bandung Institute of Tourism has produced more than 18,000 alumni around the world. I also proudly announce that Bandung Institute of Tourism recently has been awarded a TedQual Certification (Tourism Quality Education) from UN-WTO.

After a long journey of servicing the world, Bandung Institute of Tourism will celebrate its 50 anniversary in the year of 2012. This is where Asia Tourism Forum will be a part of our history.

It’s been our vision from 2006 to be an international standard tourism education. One of the measuring is being recognized as a centre of tourism scholar and research not just in Indonesia but also in Asia.

Due to above reasons, I personally invite you to come and experience Bandung as one of the most creative city in Indonesia on Asia Tourism Forum 2012.

It’s a Grand Invitation. Be our guests. Let me welcome you in our 50th anniversary.

Noviendi Makalam.
Director, Bandung Institute of Tourism
