BATAM ISLAND 1984-2016
The island of Batam today is the third busiest entry port to Indonesia after Jakarta and Bali. In recent years, the island emerged as a popular destination for visitors from not only Singapore and Malaysia, but also from other countries in Asia and Europe who flock to the island for its first class golf courses, splendid sailing experiences, duty free shopping, rejuvenating spas, relaxing beach resorts, mouthwatering fresh seafood, or just for various family fun activities. Surrounded by many beautiful islands in the Riau Islands Province and given its unique attractions and warm hospitality, Batam also welcomes Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) participants for business and convention activities.
