Novotel hotel holds contest

JAKARTA (JP): The Bogor-based Novotel hotel will hold a
contest for young and educated girls on Sept. 9 to promote
Indonesian tourism in France, the hotel official said on
Wednesday.

The annual contest will be held simultaneously in all 12
Novotel branches across the country. The 12 winners from each
hotel will then be contended in Jakarta on Sept. 24 to grab one
ticket to France as Indonesia's "ambassador" in the tourism
field.

"The national winner will travel to France as Indonesia's
tourism representative and promote the country's tourism,"
Antonie Sirot told journalists. Similar contest was also held
last year, he added.

All candidates for the contest will have to prove their
ability to represent themselves and their fluency in speaking
English and French. They are also expected to have some knowledge
about the Indonesian culture.

Some of the Indonesian entertainers will enliven the
competition in Bogor as "it will be an elegant and enchanting
event,"Antonie said. (04)
