INDONESIAN MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND CREATIVE ECONOMY CHOOSES GRESINI RACING AS RACING AMBASSADOR
The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy/The Tourism and Creative Economy Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian MOTCE) and Gresini Racing are delighted to announce a new exciting partnership as the Italian team becomes their ‘ambassador’ in the MotoGP World Championship.
The iconic Wonderful Indonesia logo will be displayed on the Ducati #23 and #49 of Bastianini and Diggia, precisely on the front wings where the design features a red-and-white colour combination right to honour the Indonesian flag.
Through this partnership, Indonesian MOTCE will put their “stamp” on the Gresini Racing MotoGP Team, which for more than 10 years has been tightly connected to some very important Indonesian brands through sponsorship programs and, by this means, also engaged with a very large share of the Indonesian fanbase.
This is a perfectly timed partnership, as the Gresini Racing Team and the whole MotoGP paddock are set to return to Indonesia for the first time in two decades. Hosting the event will be the Mandalika Street Circuit, a project developed by Indonesian MOTCE itself as part of a new international hub for leisure and tourism in the stunning Lombok Island.
SANDIAGA UNO – The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia. “The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia are very pleased with this collaboration that we are making with Gresini Racing. The collaboration that will be made between the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy with the Gresini Racing is expected to uplift Indonesia’s tourism promotional activities that would increase the awareness of the Indonesian tourism and creative economy industry globally. Through the endorsement that the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy will give to Gresini, I believed that exposing several Indonesian top brands at a global level would expand the reach of the brand market from a national to an international scale and contribute to the nation’s pride #BanggaBuatanIndonesia.”
CARLO MERLINI – Gresini Racing’s Commercial & Marketing Director: “I’m very proud and honoured to announce this partnership. To have an important institution such as the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy endorsing the Gresini Racing’s activities is the best acknowledgement and reward for promoting several Indonesian sponsors on the global stage of the MotoGP World Championship, as well as engaging a very large number of local fans who see Gresini Racing MotoGP as the Team that represents their own nation. I would like to thank his Excellency the Minister Mr Sandiaga Uno and the Deputy Minister Deputy of Tourism Products and Events Mrs Rizki Handayani for such precious reward…I promise our total commitment to payback the trust and fly high the red-white flag all over the world”.
