JAKARTA - PT Aviasi Wisata Indonesia (Persero) or InJourney predicts that the economic impact of holding the 2023 Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) could reach IDR 300 billion.

ARRC 2023 will be held on 11-13 August 2023 at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

InJourney Tourism Marketing and Program Director Maya Watono said, InJourney as the Tourism and Supporting BUMN Holding is very supportive of the 2023 FIM ARRC Idemitsu Race.

The reason is, this event can make the economy move.

Maya also believes that this ARRC event can be a warm-up for the MotoGP event which will be relaxed in October 2023.

"If I refer to previous events, around Rp. 300 billion or more. But later we will see, this is the first time how the multiplier effect is," he told reporters, Thursday, July 27.

"So this is indeed mutual cooperation, if we talk about the multiplier effect, it's the absorption of labor, economic equity, accommodation, transportation and so on," he continued.

Regarding concerns that the 2023 ARRC event could be detrimental to the WSBK event, Maya said that all parties learned a lot from previous experiences.

"So like it or not, there must be trial and error, we will evaluate the business model, and so on," said Maya.

For example, said Maya, at the ARRC 2023 event, her party collaborated with the promoter of the event, in the hope that this prestigious motorcycle racing event in Asia could be more attractive to lure people to watch.

One of the lessons, this time we are also collaborating with Dyandra co-promotors. MotoGP is also the same thing, we also understand that there must be side events. So of course there must be learning, from there we must have trial and error," he explained.
