via Tempo, 12 August 2023: Borobudur Temple is being promoted as a spiritual tourism destination aiming to attract Buddhist-based travelers and increase spiritual and cultural tourism visits.

Borobudur has great potential to be named a world pilgrimage tourism destination as it is the largest Buddhist temple in the world with extraordinary historical and spiritual value. Universal values of virtue and philosophy of life are engraved in the reliefs and architecture of the temple.

Borobudur is not only relevant for Buddhists but also for all travelers seeking a spiritual as well as cultural experience. This Famtrip activity is expected to build sustainable cooperation with inbound tour operators in developing international pilgrimage tour packages, increasing spiritual and cultural tourism visits, and encouraging the acceleration of the growth of the tourism ecosystem in the super-priority tourism destinations.
