DALLAS: Asian governments are stepping up their efforts to win a greater share of the international retiree market.
Malaysia is issuing retiree visas, Thailand has captured a sliver of the German dementia market, the Philippines is targeting the Japanese market with Subic Bay over 50s compounds and now the Indonesian government is channelling the wellness and cultural lure.
Property developer Jimbaran Hijau has launched an international ideas competition for a new cultural centre and arts market in Bali.
Organised by the Indonesian Institute of Architects – the competition seeks proposals for an iconic structure to occupy a 36,180m² site within the developer’s Bali International Park masterplan.
