buildings were organized, including the Federal Ministry of
the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear
Safety (BMUB), the IKEA furniture center in Berlin-Lichtenberg
as well as the Vivantes Hospital.

Department Reports
In October 2017, the first business delegation comprising
of representatives from the German tourism sector embarked
on a roadshow to selected ASEAN countries, including
Indonesia. In Jakarta, EKONID organized a networking
dinner with board members of the Association of Indonesian
Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA) and selected members. To
complement this delegation, EKONID, in cooperation with the
German Embassy Jakarta, organized a Schengen visa seminar
with representatives from major Indonesian outbound travel
agencies. Key to the facilitation of more Indonesian tourist
coming to Germany is the visa policy. The seminar allowed for
an update on the latest procedures and an exchange regarding
coming issues the travel agencies and various other issues the
German Embassy in Jakarta are facing.
