PT Aviasi Wisata Indonesia or InJourney will hold a world-class motorcycle racing championship or F1H2O Power Boat on Lake Toba, North Sumatra.

At this event the target number of visitors is 25,000 people. The world-class motorcycle boat racing event will be held from 24 to 26 February 2023. InJourney's Director of Marketing and Tourism Program, Maya Watono, explained that currently her party continues to improve preparations to support this activity. Given, the expected target of visitors is also quite large.

"We expect a total of 20,000 to 25,000 users including international crews, riders, and so on as well as domestic and international tourists," Maya said in Jakarta, Monday, December 5.

Maya said the F1 H20 Power Boat event had been held in 39 countries and Indonesia became the 40th country. However, the event which starts next year will be made with a different concept.

"This title is a bit different, but it has been held in 39 countries and Indonesia is the 40th country. Indonesia has also received privileges as the opening season for next year's season on February 24-26 2023," Maya said.

Maya said Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world. This lake also surrounds 7 districts.

In fact, continued Maya, the area of Lake Toba is bigger than Singapore.

These facts, continued Maya, are what InJourney wants to show to the Indonesian people and the international community.

Maya also said that her party would continue to develop the tourist area in North Sumatra.

"We are making a lot of efforts to create development. Currently we are conducting a destination development in Lake Toba through infrastructure development, because infrastructure is one that is needed for tourism," he said.

Regarding infrastructure, continued Maya, InJourney received support from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Ministry of PUPR to build infrastructure to facilities in Lake Toba and its surrounding areas.

"So indeed we are not only bringing an event, but also building infrastructure in that destination, where the end goal is economic equality. So our hope is in addition to the recovery of the tourism sector, but also economic equality in Lake Toba and its surroundings," he said.
