“Volpert wants to expand her current market (Sumatera, Indonesia) to Borneo.
“Indonesia and Borneo have similarities in terms of cultures and traditions.
"Therefore, she is interested in our community-based Jo tourism (CoBT) which combines sightseeing and socio-economic contributions through active participation in community projects,” said Marcus who was aggressively promoting rural tourism and CoBT at the world’s largest travel trade show.
